And the good news is that with Amazon Prime Day returning on July 11-12, there are some big discounts on many of the products we recommend.Below we take a look at these deals. Plus, we've rounded up the largest discounts on other car-related products, starting with the largest percentage discount.Discounts listed are versus manufacturer recommended retail prices (RRPs), and remember to access these deals you have to be a member of Amazon Prime. However, you can join Amazon Prime for a 30-day free trial <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/prime/pipeline/membersignup?linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=whatcar-sovrn-21">here</a>.<h3><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XRWS76H?linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=whatcar-sovrn-2">Pressure Washer: Bosch Universal Aquatak 135 - £119.99 – 43% off</a></h3>

We rate this machine as the best pressure washer you can buy – for two major reasons. Firstly, it features an unbeatable balance of keen price, top-drawer cleaning performance, and essential accessories. And secondly, it’s just a brilliant design. For example, it comes fully assembled in a small box, with a hinged and foldable rear handle that makes it extremely compact. You can also swap between pencil jet, fan, and turbo nozzle with a twist of the wrist thanks to what Bosch calls the ‘Trio Nozzle’. And it’s even better value on Prime Day.<a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XRWS76H?linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=whatcar-sovrn-2">Get this deal</a>If the Aquatak 135 is out of your budget, maybe consider its little brother, the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-EasyAquatak-High-Pressure-Washer/dp/B079R9XYCF?linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=whatcar-sovrn-2">Aquatak 120</a>, now available at £79.99, a 27% discountIf the Bosch isn’t for you, there’s great offers on rival products from Karcher this Prime Day – and one is quite a bit cheaper than the Bosch too.

With a rigid plastic waterproof base for sturdiness and protection, strong double zips, an adjustable shoulder strap with padding, and 11 external and five interior pockets, the Stanley Fatmax hard base tool bag was the most useful in our test. We found it had plenty of room to fit all our tools, with a useful load limit of 20kg, and at such a keen price it’s a clear winner in this test.What Car? rating Five stars out of five<hr />How we found the best car tool bagsTo find the best tool bags, we filled a variety of bags to the brim with a variety of tools, including anything that an avid amateur mechanic might wish to carry with them. Our haul included hammers, lights, pliers, spanners, screwdrivers, socket wrenches and more, and we packed each item into each bag to see how well they fitted. As well as how easy each bag was to carry when full, we also assessed its usability, including whether it had any extra features, plus its durability and material quality. As always, price was also taken into consideration.<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">2. RECOMMENDED: Silverline Tool Bag Hard Base Wide Mouth </h3>

Dimensions 200 x ‎400 x 300 mmIf this test were based purely on a price-to-pockets ratio, the Silverline bag would win easily. This great-value product has 10 external pockets, eight internal pockets, plus a key fob. There’s only one zip, but does have a wide opening for easy loading and unloading. It also has a functional plastic base in case of bad weather, and it’s made from water-resistant nylon. The adjustable 1.2m shoulder strap means you don’t have to carry it around with your hands when full, too.What Car? rating Five stars out of five<hr /><h2 dir="ltr">Other tool bags to consider</h2><h3 dir="ltr">3. Draper Tools Tool backpack</h3>

Dimensions 300 x 170 x 450 mmWe liked that this Draper backpack made it possible to transport tools without having to bear the weight on our wrists. Despite being easy to cart around, you can still put this bag down on wet ground with its rigid base. Plus, the whole bag is made from water-resistant polyester, so it keeps everything dry. The bag features seven internal, two side and five external pockets, four loops for screwdrivers, plus a card/name pocket to let everyone know whose tools they are.What Car? rating Four stars out of five<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">4. VonHaus Rolling Tool Bag</h3>

Dimensions 280 x 470 x 425 mmThis is the most expensive tool bag on our list. However, it looks good and is well-made. An extendable handle, tough plastic wheels and three stopper legs make this bag easy to move around, even when it’s packed with the 25kg of tools it can hold. The vast inner space with a wide opening has loads of room for bigger tools and features six compact inner pockets for smaller tools, as well as a large document pocket. Plus, there are 11 well-sized outer pockets for the things you need easy access to regularly.What Car? rating Four stars out of five<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">5. DeWalt TSTAK Soft Storage Bag</h3>

Dimensions 250 x 450 x 300 mmThis DeWalt TSTAK tool bag is very high quality, sturdy, durable and can carry up to 30kg, with a padded shoulder strap to help when carrying heavier loads. It’s a clever design that maximises space and adds lots of handy compartments, including two large zip pockets on the outside, front and back. The zipped opening has an impressively wide aperture to easily load tools in, and inside there are six deep pockets and a large mesh pocket. The plastic base protects contents from wet ground, too. What Car? rating Four stars out of five<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">6. AIRAJ 18-Inch Tool Bag</h3>

Dimensions 470 x 270 x 310 mmThe Airaj bag is made from waterproof material and comes with a thick plastic base, ensuring everything stays dry when it’s on the ground. Three of the eight exterior pockets have a sealable flap, which stopped things falling out in the boot, but they could be deeper. There are also eight interior pockets, with a loose, small plastic tray included too. Price-wise, it sits in the middle of the bags we tested, but it looks like an expensive product and feels well-made.What Car? rating four stars out of five<hr /><h3>7. Draper Tools Tote Tool Bag</h3>

Dimensions 305 x 230 x 420 mmDraper Tools’ sturdy and well-built tote tool bag represents good value for money. With a rigid construction, soft grip handle, and an adjustable shoulder strap, we found it very useful to keep our car cleaning kit in. It isn’t the biggest tool bag we tested, but there are 15 external pockets, one with an elasticated strap at the bottom for taller items, as well as 10 internal pockets and eight elasticated tool holding loops. It fell over a couple of times while driving, though, so is better suited to being kept at home until you need it.What Car? rating Three stars out of five<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">8. Amazon Basics Tool Bag</h3>

Dimensions 310 x 140 x 200 mmThis bag is made from strong material, and we appreciated its myriad of storage options, including six exterior tool loops, three front pouches and three rear mesh pouches. The inside pockets aren’t so good, however, because they’re lined with lightweight plastic that doesn’t feel very high quality. The external tool loops lead to a few screwdrivers clattering around in our boot, and it can be quite tricky to zip up when the bag is full. It’s also small compared with other bags we tested, so we struggled to fit all of our tools in.What Car? rating Three stars out five<hr /><h3 dir="ltr">9. Firedog roll up tool bag</h3>

Dimensions 457 x 279 x 25 mmFor small tools, this is a useful little roll up bag to have in your boot. For anything bigger, you’ll want to look elsewhere. We found screwdrivers and hammers fitted absolutely fine in the five zipped sections, but bigger spanners proved too much of a squeeze. It’s made of canvas which makes it a very lightweight product, and it has a convenient D buckle if you want to hang it vertically, as long as you’ve not overloaded it with weighty tools. What Car? rating Two stars out of five<hr /><h2 dir="ltr">And the tool bag to avoid...</h2><h3 dir="ltr">10. Silverline TB50 Canvas Tool Bag </h3>

Dimensions 460 x 180 x 130 mmThis the the cheapest tool bag on our list by some margin, and If you’re looking for something into which you can simply throw your small tools, it will do the job. It’s made from heavy cotton canvas, with webbing handles and a nylon zip, but doesn’t feel as robust as many other bags we tested. It doesn’t have additional pockets or storage areas, either, and it doesn’t have a solid base to keep everything dry on wet ground. What Car? rating Two stars out of five<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/news/how-we-test-products/n25979">How we test products</a><hr />The products or services referenced in this story have been reviewed independently by our experts.

Unpleasant lingering odours inside your car can be caused by all kinds of things, such as a family pet or a previous owner who smoked. So what is the best way to eradicate an unwanted stench and leave your car smelling fresh? The easiest and cheapest option is to buy a car air freshener. Air fresheners are designed to emit a specific scent and work faster when your air conditioning system is functioning. In fact, some air fresheners are known to reduce stress and improve your mood when you drive. Nowadays car air fresheners come in all shapes and sizes: some are powered by a 12V or USB socket; others hang from the rear-view mirror, or are designed to clip on to an air vent.But with so many options available, which air fresheners should you actually buy?Here, we reveal the best air fresheners available today, while also outlining which ones you should avoid.The products or services referenced in this story have been reviewed independently by our experts.

BEST BUY: Lynx Car Freshener Ice chill</h3>

The Lynx car freshener impressed us for its easy installation and ability for its scent to fill the interior of our car quickly. It comes with two scented sticks which slot neatly inside a case in the back of the air freshener, with the Lynx clipping seamlessly into the vent in the dashboard.Although slightly bigger than other air fresheners in this test, the Lynx did not interfere with the use of the vent itself.  The scent was subtle and tasteful, and at £4.95 the Lynx is good value, with the air-freshener claimed to last up to 30 days. What Car? rating Five stars out of five<hr />How we found the best air freshenerTo determine which air fresheners were best, we assessed them for ease of installation, scent, how well the fragrance filled the interior and if any damaged the trim or impeded vision. Value for money was also considered in our test. Our test car was equipped with air conditioning and a fan. In order to ensure all products were tested under the same circumstances, we switched the fan on and turned it to the number two setting and closed all the windows, so as not to impede air flow. <hr /><h3>2. BEST FOR BUDGET: Little Trees Black Ice </h3>

Proving that you don’t need to break the bank to get a good air freshener, the Little Trees is an easy-to-use option that smells great.The included elasticated band is pliant, allowing for carefree installation over the rear-view mirror. It does hang reasonably low, but didn’t impede our vision out of the windscreen. It felt a little more flimsy than some of the other options in our test, though. Even with our air conditioning fan on, the Little Trees air freshener fragrance successfully filled the inside of our test car, and the scent was just as pleasant as the Lynx. What Car? rating Five stars out of five<hr /><h2>Other car air fresheners to consider</h2><h3>3. Yankee Candle Car Powered Fragrance diffuser Midsummer’s Night</h3>

It may be the most expensive air freshener in our test, but the Yankee Candle powered diffuser smells great and is easy to install.The circular fragrance slots into the top of the diffuser, with the Yankee Candle powered by the 12V socket in your car.  A blue LED light indicates that the diffuser is on, while a switch on the side of the air freshener allows you to control the fragrance strength. During testing, the Yankee Candle scent took longer than the Lynx to fill the interior, and only hints of its fragrance could be detected in the back. What Car? rating Four stars out of five<hr /><h3>4. Febreze Car Cotton Fresh</h3>

If you’re looking for an air freshener that gets to work quickly, the Febreze Car Cotton Fresh is a good choice. Granted, the scent itself is strong – but not unpleasant – even with our air conditioning fan adjusted to the number two setting. Plus the air freshener’s scent radiated through the inside of the car well, even in the back.The clip on the back of the air freshener is rigid, meaning you have to apply more pressure when slotting it into a vent, however, it did not damage any trim. And at £4.30, value for money is good too.What Car? rating Four stars out of fivePrice £4.30 | Buy from Amazon<hr /><h3>5. Frsh Scents Black Cherry</h3>

The Frsh Scents Black Cherry has a claimed lifespan of up to 90 days, potentially making it the longest-lasting air freshener in our test. Although the Black Cherry fragrance was subtle, its smell was pleasant and calming. It did take a bit longer for the Frsh Scents to fill the interior fully, however. We were disappointed with the clip mechanism on the back of the Frsh Scents because it comes separately to the air freshener, making it fiddly to put together. Despite this, the Frsh Scent clipped on to the vent easily and did not damage any of the trim.What Car? rating Three stars out of five<hr /><h3>6. Yankee Candle Clean Cotton Car Jar</h3>

The Yankee Candle air freshener was easy to install and looped seamlessly around the rear-view mirror. It’s worth noting that the Car Jar is quite big and hangs lower than other air fresheners, although it didn’t impede our view out of the car. The Clean Cotton scent is fresh, albeit intense. And you needn't set the air conditioning level high because the Yankee Candle fills the front of the car well; it’s harder to detect in the back, however. It is more expensive than most disposable air fresheners, and its lifespan is no better than other options in this test. What Car? rating Three stars out of five<hr /><h3>7. Air Wick Air Freshener Water Burst</h3>

Although the Air Wick’s scent is more appealing than other air fresheners in our test, it was significantly slower at percolating around the interior of the car. This is due, in part, to the positioning of the Air Wick, which is intended to attach on to sun visors and door handles. Both the disposable and vent-mounted air fresheners in our test radiate their scent far quicker than the Air wick. It does gain marks for its claimed 60-day lifespan, plus you can get a twin pack of the Water Burst scent for as little as £1.99 from some retailers. What Car? rating Three stars out of fivePrice £2.19 | Buy from Fabfinds<hr /><h3>8. California Scents Palms Coronado Cherry Air Freshener</h3>

While the California Scents air freshener was robust and good quality, its Coronado Cherry scent was too powerful and intense to be enjoyed regularly. Despite the strong fragrance, the air freshener filled the front of our test car’s interior well, but it was harder to detect the back.It does hang quite low down when hooked on to the rear-view mirror, but the California Scents didn’t impede our view out of the car. Considering the air freshener costs £1.99, the California Scents present good value for money, but we’d recommend sampling its fragrance before you consider buying it. What Car? rating Two stars out of fivePrice £1.99 | Buy from Halfords<hr /><h3>9. Autoglym Car Air Freshener</h3>

The Autoglym Car Air Freshener was very strong in terms of smell, and despite its cheap price tag it lacked overall quality.  It’s also not the most exciting to look at, with the Yankee Candle and California Scents being more fun in their appearance. However, it is much cheaper than some of the other disposable options in our test, with Status Car Care selling the Autoglym for less than £1. The Autoglym air freshener was easy to install on the rear-view mirror due to the Autoglym’s wider hook, but ultimately it was the intensity of the fragrance that let it down. What Car? rating Two stars out of five<hr /><h2>And the car air freshener to avoid...</h2><h3>10. Jelly Belly 3D Jewel Island Punch</h3>

It might look appealing, but the Jelly Belly was not to our taste, with its scent too sweet and overpowering for use on a regular basis. The elasticated hook used to hang the Jelly Belly up also lacked quality, and the sticky plastics made the air freshener feel cheaper than many of the other fresheners in our test.What Car? rating Two stars out of five<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/news/how-we-test-products/n25979">How we test products</a><hr />The products or services referenced in this story have been reviewed independently by our experts.
