Simply attach the foam ball to a variable speed drill and you can achieve a perfect gloss finish in minutes with or without wax, claims the maker. The ๗ฃ14.99 sponge is suitable for alloys, paintwork and headlight covers, and is ideal for tackling hard-to-get at places such as spoilers and bumpers.

It"s a fair cop! New...

It"s a fair cop! New Government figures reveal traffic police are offically a dying breed ๒€“ with some forces slashing patrols by up to 84 per cent.

The Department for Transport survey shows the head count has reduced by nearly 20 per cent across Britain in a decade. Our top five league table reveals that Staffordshire has seen the biggest cut ๒€“ from 208 traffic officers in 1998, to only 34 now.

A spokeswoman for the force admitted: ๒€œIncreased use of safety cameras and ANPR systems has let us move away from a traffic department and be more targeted and intelligence-led.๒€ However, she added: ๒€œAll Staffordshire police officers are trained to deal with traffic matters.๒€ In Issue 999, we revealed that Staffordshire had allocated 94 per cent of its าฃ2.4m Local Transport Plan Road Safety Grant to speed cameras ๒€“ despite being given free rein to spend on other initiatives.

Edmund King, AA president, said: ๒€œA speed camera does not pick up the illegal foreign truck driver or boy racer with stolen plates, but a traffic cop can. We must reverse this trend to make our roads and society safer.๒€
