Stoner Car Care was founded 75 years ago and is located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They manufacturer specialized cleaners, lubricants, and coatings that are used by professional auto detailers, collectors and enthusiasts all over the world to clean, shine and protect vehicles from Fords to Ferrari’s.
It is winter time here in Tennessee and although we do not get a lot of snow, we do get quite a bit of ice and the way the public works department tries to prevent that is with a salty brine they spray on the roads. A little bit of moisture falls on that and you have the car in front of you spraying your car with a salty mist as they drive along. This makes keeping my windshield clean pretty difficult. I combat this issue with the one, two punch from Stoner, their Clean & Repel Glass Cleaner with Rain Repellent and their Washer Fluid additive. First I love the Clean & Repel Glass Cleaner because it is an aerosol. I always have better luck with aerosol glass cleaners than I do traditional pump bottles. The Clean & Repel easily cleans the nasty, salty grime off my window and it adds a layer of protection at the same time to shed rain, snow and ice and keeps bugs, bird droppings and other road grime from bonding to the windshield. As a cleaner and repellent in one, this product allows you to still clean your auto glass as often as needed. There is no need to periodically remove and reapply a semi-permanent repellent coating like other brands.
The Washer Fluid with Rain Repellent is my second defense against road grime turning my washer fluid into rain repellent, which improves driving visibility in wet weather. Repels rain, sleet, and snow for safer driving. It applies rain repellent each time you spray your windshield and mixes easily with water or washer fluid.
I know you can’t wait to try these Stoner Car Care products so Queen of Reviews has teamed up with them to offer a can of the Clean & Repel and a bottle of the Washer Fluid Additive to two of my lucky readers.
