New Golden Shine Car Care Products for Spring

California Car Cover is proud to announce four additional items have been added to the Golden Shine Car Care line this spring. Available starting this month, we are now offering Leather Care, Tire & Trim Spray, Undercarriage Spray and Headlight Restorer in the Golden Shine brand.

"The Golden Shine line has been well received by our customers. We have been listening to many of their suggestions for new products and look forward to bringing more great items annually," said Jim DeFrank.
One of our more popular products has been our Tire and Trim Dressing. The premium dressing works great and provides a long lasting shine, but does need to be applied with a foam applicator and worked into the tires or trim. For those enthusiasts looking for a quicker way to apply the dressing we developed the Golden Shine Tire & Trim Spray.
The Tire & Trim Spray applies easily and sprays on for maximum covering in a short amount of time. Any access or over spray can easily be wiped up with a microfiber towel.

Once the Golden Shine Tire & Trim Spray is applied simply go over the treated area with a microfiber towel or foam applicator to make sure the dressing is evenly applied.

Undercarriage Spray is no longer an auto detailer's secret. This product works wonders on fender wells and undercarriages. Often fender wells look dull and are covering in dust and dirt that is kicked up from the tires. This product provides a low shine coating to make dark plastics and metals look new.


Often fender wells look like this. Though the car might have recently been washed, fender wells can look dirty and dull. We recommend first rinsing the fender wells with a degreaser, such as our Golden Shine Go-To Cleaner. This will rinse away a lot of the grime and provide a cleaner surface for the Undercarriage Spray to bond to.

Spray the Golden Shine Undercarriage Spray evenly around the fender wells and undercarriage. A nice even coat will give your vehicle a nice even shine and looks great for days, not hours.

Looking to keep your seats clean and soft? The Golden Shine Leather Care is a cleaner and conditioner for interior leather surfaces.
The product is really easy to use. Simply apply a small amount to a towel, work into the leather surface and buff dry.

Golden Shine Leather Care provides a low sheen to all the leather surfaces in your vehicle.

Headlights looking a little hazy? Our Golden Shine Headlight Restorer will help you clear up some hazing and make your headlights look like new. The polish is easy to use and does not require the use of a polish ball.


Golden Shine Headlight Restorer can be applied by hand with a microfiber polishing pad. As the polish begins to break down, simply buff to a shine with a clean microfiber towel. Our Headlight Restorer is not a heavy cut polisher. It is an enthusiast grade headlight polish. The product is meant to maintain and clean headlights with light hazing, but are in fairly good condition. If your headlights have heavy yellowing that is baked into the headlights then it is better to use a heavy cut product in conjunction with a polishing ball.

From the Midwest to the West Coast

Recent travels brought me to Oklahoma City before returning to California for the Deuce Day Show at the Petersen and the March Pomona Swap Meet.

I traveled to Oklahoma with our Sales Manager to meet some customers and suppliers last week. After a few days of business meetings we had a couple hours to detour before catching our flight back to Los Angeles. Our first stop was Pop's Soda Shop on Route 66 just outside of Oklahoma City.
Pop's is not just another gas station. It is coffee shop, gift shop and home to a collection of 500+ different sodas on any given day. You can't miss the giant soda bottle out front either. I opted for a Dublin Dr. Pepper, but there were many unique options you cannot find just anywhere.
Sweet corn or buffalo wing flavored soda, anyone?
Then it was time to head back to OKC for the start of the Oklahoma International Auto Show. It was not a huge event like the LA Auto Show, but there was a nice exhibit of cars from the early 1900s, plus a hall full of classic cars.




This Benz only cost $725 back in 1885.
For lunch we stopped by Nic's Grill. This mini burger joint has become an OKC landmark. We were happy that the place was just around the corner from the fairgrounds and line was not too long. The burgers were definitely worth the wait.
After a a few days back at California Car Cover, it was another double show weekend. On Saturday, I was working at the Deuce Day Show at the Petersen Museum with our Sales Manager, Brian. If you are a fan of 1932 Fords this show was the place to be on Saturday. About 300 '32s filled the parking structure of the museum. I was happy to see a few street rods still had covers on them when I arrived.


The show was held at the Petersen Museum, along the famous Miracle Mile in Los Angeles.



There were plenty of '32s on display in a variety of condition. There were traditional, custom and even one original...
This barn find 1932 Ford was on display at the show. It was a daily driver for many years in the early 3os, but had been found in storage earlier this year.

My father (The guy in the red L.A. Roadsters Jacket) and some of his friends from the club drove their '32s out to the event as well.

All four levels of the parking structure had a variety of cars on display.

Just outside the museum is where a lot of the action was all day. Many media companies were on hand to film and take photos of vehicles for magazine coverage.
There were also some funny touches on some cars at the show... In case someone at the show tried to get crazy and drive off in a '32.

The next morning the California Car Cover crew and I were out in Pomona for the auto swap meet. The weather was great and the place was packed. You will see from the photos that there were people everywhere on Sunday.
On my breaks from the booth I took some photos of the unique and interesting sights from the swap meet because you never know what you will stumble upon at the Pomona Swap Meet.



Need an A/C unit for your house? How about a scooter? How about a weird mannequin?

The For Sale section had plenty of classic cars on display.


Cars and canopies as far you could see.



The crowd.

It was a event filled weekend. For the next few weeks I will be attending local shows and sites so check back for unique news and notes from California Car Cover.
