You wouldn't be able to tell, but these little pads have been five years in the making! They may look very simple, but they're packed with so much technology there are currently 34 UK and four international patent applications pending on them. And we can see what all the fuss is about - they're superb.

There are two versions available at launch - the red one is for applying polish and other cleaning products to your car, and the blue one has a microfibre surface to leave a streak-free finish when removing polish. I've been trying them out and am very impressed.

The finger-shaped design fits perfectly to your palm (hence the name!) and makes them really easy to use. The omission of a thumb slot means both left and right-handed car cleaners can use them comfortably and it's easy to clean them afterwards for use again. At £5.99 they're not cheap - especially when most people make do with a rag, but we're impressed enough to recommend them highly. www.autoglym.co.uk
