    Armor All Products Corp. has released its Flash Black Tire Shine, which the company said offers the latest advance in tire care with an ``extraordinarily high level of shine.'' Flash Black comes in a spray-on formula that does not require wiping or rinsing. The product retails for about $5.50, the company said.

    Contact: Armor All Products Corp., Dept. TB, 6 Liberty, Aliso Viejo, Calif. 92656; Phone: (714) 362-0600. Fax: (714) 362-0619.

    POWER TOOLS

    Prevost, formerly ConnectUS, recently released its Air-Boy air gun along with a new pneumatic safety coupling.

    The variable flow, light-weight air gun delivers 125 liters per minute of air at 85 psi with a maximum pressure of 235 psi. The gun features a non-removable tip that reduces the ``dead end'' pressure to 30 psi, conforming to Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, the company said.

    The ASC-06 pneumatic safety coupling features a push button lock/unlock system and is designed to interchange with all plugs featuring the ARO-210 profile, the company said. The coupling also has a double release safety vent.

    Contact: Prevost, Dept. TB, P.O. Box 343, Duncan, S.C. 29334; (800) 258-5377. Fax: (864) 433-8343.

    BRAKES

    The new PermaQuiet Noise Eliminator shims from Wagner Brake Products, a division of Moog Automotive, cover more than 95 percent of all disc-pad applications, the company said.

    The shims are brake fluid resistant and give maximum tensile and compression strength for long life, Wagner said. They are engineered with vibrational reduction capacity technology to dampen sound waves causing noise transference.

    Contact: Wagner Brake Products, Dept. TB, P.O. Box 7224, St. Louis, Mo. 63177; Phone: (314) 385-3400. Refer to literature code: WL51535.

    AUTO PARTS

    Dana Corp.'s new Perfect Circle caster/camber adjusting kit fits both four- and two-wheel drive 1995-1996 Ford Explorer models.

    The kit allows technicians to make adjustments on either side up to plus or minus 2 1/4 degrees, the company said. Installation time for the kit typically is under one hour per side, the company said.

    Contact: Dana Corp., Dept. TB, P.O. Box 455, Toledo, Ohio 43697-0455. Phone: (419) 891-1900. Fax: (419) 891-1938.

    Eibach Springs has developed a new Pro-Kit spring package to upgrade performance on 1996 4.6-liter V8 Ford Mustangs.

    Eibach's progressive spring rate technology allows technicians to lower the car's center of gravity to reduce unwanted body roll while removing nearly 2 inches of fender-well gap, the company said.

    Contact: Eibach Springs, Dept. TB, 17817 Gillette Ave., Irvine, Calif. 92714; Phone: (714) 752-6700. Internet: http://eibach.com.

    COMPRESSORS/PUMPS

    The new 3:1-ratio Series 25 double-acting oil pump from Lincoln, a Pentair Co., is designed to smoothly dispense motor oil and other solutions, the company said.

    The Series 25 pump, coupled with a 25-cubic-inch air motor, provides quiet delivery by creating a uniform output per cycle with less pulsation, the firm said. The pump has a 4 1/2-inch stroke and is easily serviced because most of its parts are interchangeable with other Lincoln Series 20, 25 and 40 pumps.

    Contact: Lincoln, Dept. 7100, Sect. TB, One Lincoln Way, St. Louis, Mo. 63120-1578. Phone: (314) 679-4300.

    The new refrigerated air dryer from Vampire-Island Air Products, a division of Hansen Inc., does not need an aftercooler and can be installed right at the air compressor to provide clean, dry air to prevent rust and corrosion.

    Contact: Vampire-Island Air Products, Dept. TB, 50 Four Coins Drive, Canonsburg, Pa., 15317; Phone: (412) 745-4129. Fax: (412) 745-9024.

    CLEANING PRODUCTS

    The GOJO PRO 2000 hand cleaning system from GOJO Industries Inc. can reduce handwashing costs up to 30 percent by delivering measured portions of GOJO Power Gold Hand Cleaner, the firm said.

    The system combines a dispenser with 2,000-milliliter refill cartridges of the cleaner.

    For a limited time, the company is offering the dispensers, a refill cartridge, a bucket of GOJO Fast Wipes cleaning towels, a skin care kit and $50 in coupons for $19.95.

    Contact: GOJO PRO 2000, Dept. TB, P.O. Box 991, Akron, Ohio 44309-0991; Phone: (800) 321-9647.

    LIFTS/JACKS

    Hydra-Lift Industries Ltd. has introduced two lifts, the Model 88 open beam four-post general service lift and the 29ACF twin-post lift.

    The Model 88 has a 12,000-pound lift capacity and 17-foot runways to accommodate long-wheel-base vehicles. Automatic locks, located in 18 positions, are air-released from a single point. Full-length jacking rails are standard to accommodate Hydra's optional 6,000-pound rolling jacks. The 29ACF is built using full-length ``H'' beam columns and precision ``steel rollers'' to reduce friction. The lift has automatic arm restraints, a single-point safety release and an automatic activation lock system. The lift also is avail-able with symmetric arms as the Model 29SCF.

    Contact: Hydra-Lift Industries

    Ltd., Dept. TB, 1286 Citizens Parkway, Suite D, Morrow, Ga. 30260; Phone: (800) 387-5718.
