The Mustang has been on errand duty for several weeks. So today I wanted to give it a wash and swap out the XR6. For the wheels and tyres, I went with Brake Buster, HydrO2 and Atom Mac. I then washed with Carpro Reset and a Microfiber Madness DeliPad. Drying Aid was Amplify, including the door...

Another two bite the dust.................. The Undressed was my second gallon of the product. As a heavy-duty tyre cleaner, it does the job — it's just a shame it doesn't lather the way Brake Buster does, because that's the only thing stopping it from being perfect. So I won't be getting a...

The Ranger got its weekly wash today. At the moment, I'm in a use-up-what-I have mode, running through products that didn't make the cut. That doesn't mean all of these products are duds, just that they didn't win me over to find a permanent spot in the cabinet. Today's product was Koch Chemie...

I actually arrived at Bead Maker well after it blew up and became the "it" product for a few years there. But I eventually bought a bottle and slotted into a drying aid role. Not much can achieve that "just waxed" look and feel, especially from a product that ISNT a wax. I love using it after an...

I was very late to rinse-less, mainly because I had issues trusting the process. While I still have a very low rinse-less threshold, it's now very much part of my skillset. Something worth noting, the term "rinse-less" doesn't mean you can't rinse before washing. That was the game changer for...

P&S Absolute + Bead Maker is such a brilliant combination, doesn't get any slicker!

Yesterday, Mr. Olly decided to have an impromptu swim while on a play date with his bigger friends. Without even hesitating, he stepped off the edge of the pool and onto the plastic leaf cover, a few wobbly steps later he plunged straight into the water. I plucked him out in seconds, the...

Koch Chemie are closer to Meguiar's in that regard, having several sub brands under the same banner. And quite often, like Megs, they are just rebranded in different bottles. For example, you have the professional series, the tall 1-litre white bottles with abbreviated names following the...

I get ordering your daily driver in white as it has certain practical benefits. Some would argue white is good for resale. But a special car like this is an aspirational purchase, resale value means nothing. I've also never understood the reasoning behind spending so much money on something you...

I can never understand why someone would pay that much money for a car, then basically choose not to choose a "color". White is a fleet color.

I get what you are saying, but why wouldn't they charge for a yearly maintenance wash/inspection? Unless the vehicle owner is able or willing to do that themselves, you pay for that service. Realistically, to do that "coating inspection", they would need to at least wash the car, feel for...

I would recommend reconsidering the wheels. If I could only choose just one place on a car to have ceramic coated, it would be the wheels as they are subjected to the most contamination on the car. Spending a little more now will reward you for years to come. Especially on white wheels!

I took this image to accompany an article I wrote the other day. Every different towel here serves a separate role. As the old Castrol GTX ad said, "oil's aint oils", well, microfiber aint microfiber...............

For anyone wanting to try out Pressol sprayers but find the price a little rich, Detailing Shed currently have Pressol on sale. Pressol of Germany | Detailing Shed Important to note that this applies to the v1 "Household" and v1 "Industrial" versions rather than the latest Pro-Series...

Liquid Elements are the real deal. If you look at Matt's site, his go-to 5-inch polisher is an LE now, not a Rupes, Milwaukee, Flex. That's saying something! I think for US in Australia, ShineMate is still the best option for mid tier machines, they actually outperform the Flex and Rupes for 2...
