Cold start's are my favourite part, that initial bluuuuurt is so addictive. I remote start purely to get the full hit!

I've been having some fun with product and tool photography lately, made much easier with a LED ring light. I'm told that this makes me a real influencer now, but I disagree, you'll never see me in front of the camera wearing skintight Lycra, pouted lips, a botoxed face with makeup troweled on...

Finally got a chance to wash the Ranger today. I didn't bother washing it last week as it had to sit outside in the weather while I house sat again, then a busy week of gardening and detailing, it just had to wait! Because I'd spilled some 2-stroke fuel and diluted weed killer in the tray, I...

Toyota Landcruiser 200-Series Detail I seem to be the Landcruiser 200-Series expert of late. This example with 160,000 km on the clock came to me as a referral, and well, he got his monies worth today! Upon retrieval, the car looked deceptively tidy. However, on closer inspection I knew this...

I note that the Black Pack has become available again, which was discontinued about October/November last year. Originally, the Black Pack included the Darkhorse black headlights, however these became standard across all Mustang's in about Feb-Mar this year. Of course, Ford Australia's...

Having a little play with the camera, lighting and backdrop to feature four of my favorite brushes. From left to right - Detail Factory Ultra Soft - I use this grey brush for wheel nuts and brake calipers. Detail Factory Boar Hair - Used for general interior and exterior cleaning. Detail...

2024 Ranger Wildtrak Detail - This 2024 Ranger Wildtrak with the 3.0 Powerstroke Diesel V6 was in today for its first major detail since it was purchased last year. Finished in Aluminium Silver, it and also has the $2100 Premium Pack with includes the following - - Auxiliary 6 Switch Pack -...

It's a great starting point as it sets you up with a pad and polish system to play and learn with. Once you know what you like, you can then order more of the pads and compounds.

I have not once used the navigation system on my FGX Falcon, S550 or S650, I don't even use Apple Car Play. But then I'm not using those cars for long distance traveling.

Starting to see more S650's on the road now. Earlier this week, I even spotted another Race Red with the Night Pony Pack parked in someone's driveway. I thought I was the only one in the village................ oh, wait, that's another.................

Out and about.....................

If you have your pressure washer set up properly, its not about the actual pressure, but rather the pumps ability to increase the flow rate and improve rinse efficiency. The problem is, the pressure washer manufacturers like to promote headline pressure ratings on the box. To achieve that...

Another empty gallon......................... Traditional quick detailers like this are no longer a go-to for many, but I still think they have a place. I'd say with the proliferation of rinse-less wash concentrates, most simply mix those up at a quick detailer dilution rather than buying a...

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but I use the Reach and Clean tool for the initial passes, ie wet with glass cleaner. After that, I buff dry with a towel to streak free. I think some do it the reverse to that, as in using the tool for the second streak-free passes. Are you sure...

You reference the fitting of the positive cable to the fuse box and the negative to the ground post. On right hand drive vehicles, the main negative ground post is on the opposite side of the engine bay, and therefore the opposite side to the fuse box. There is a negative ground post for the...

Yesterday it was the caravan, today it was the tow vehicle. But first, a little reminder of how this vehicle looked after its last visit back in April this year............. Since then, the Landcruiser has had a set of brand-new genuine Toyota headlights installed. Also, due to some damage...

Realistically, no, there isn't a single product that can do every single task, just as there isn't one single material that goes into building a "rocket ship". However, if you want to slim down your product count, a high-quality rinse-less wash concentrate has the ability to replace a bunch of...

Base Layer Wax or Sealant - - Collinite 845 (durable, warm gloss) or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (great for darker colours). Apply either by hand with a foam applicator, or via a soft waxing pad on a dual-action machine. Both exceptionally slick. Collinite 845 on Race Red -...

The following is the biggest vehicle I've ever detailed, and by a considerable margin as well. While I don't personally see the appeal of caravans, I do see the appeal in earning money by cleaning them. :like: As you can see from the spare wheel cover, this rig made the trip to the Mundi...

Incorrect. RHD cars have the battery on what is USA drivers' side. So while the fuse box is on the same side for RHD and LHD, the negative ground post is on the other side.
