Wax On
Keeping your rig clean is one thing. Keeping it shiny is another. Most of us don't have time to wax our ears, let alone our rides. So here comes Eagle One to the rescue with the first-ever after-wash one-step spray wax. It's easy. After washing and rinsing your vehicle, leave it wet and apply the Wax As-U-Dry spray. Then dry it off with a chamois or towel to reveal a wet, just-been-waxed look. Information: Eagle One, Dept. FW, 5927 Landau St., Carlsbad, CA 92008, 800/432-4531, www.eagleone.com.

X-Factor
The folks over at Rancho have taken their popular RS 9000 adjustable shock to the next level. Relabeled the RS 9000X, this adjustable shock absorber features new nine-position adjustability and a tri-tube design (reserve, intermediate and primary). According to Rancho, the new design yields 17 times greater fluid area than its predecessor. Featuring a 16-mm diameter hardened and double-chromed rod, a 32-mm piston and a new rod design that reduces friction and improves ride comfort, the RS 9000X is perfect for on- and off-highway applications.
