  1. This Just Got Real!

    I noticed late last week that my original CTEK MXS 3.6 wasn't actually charging the battery it was connected to, the Mustang. I have two chargers, this and a newer MXS 5.0. I connected the new one to the Mustang and it began charging, then pulse cycling as they are designed to do rather than a...
  2. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    I've decided to give these Tempest towels another shot. Considering they are wrapped in Concours branded packaging, I'm guessing Waxit don't sell many of these as the Concours house brand was rebranded NV many years ago now...
  3. Connecting CTEK/Battery Tender

    Thanks for the video, I actually needed to watch this to double check my installation was correct regarding the BMS. Turns out my older CTEK 3.6 is not working as it should and hasn't been charging properly. Swapped it to the newer MXS 5.0 and I'm back in business. I'm probably scared from...

    Subaru Forrester Refresh This vehicle is owned by one of my gardening clients. I’ve detailed this car many times, but it's been quite a while since I’ve touched it. I’m currently house sitting for them, so I thought I’d treat the Subaru to a refresh. With 108,000 km on the clock, there is some...
  5. MY24.50 Australian Mustang S650 Reviews

    Geez, he took that better than you could expect, so props to him for having the balls to include the shunt in his video.
  6. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    For anyone looking for a good drying towel that isn't from The Rag Company, these Tempest towels from Waxit are a great option, and on sale at the moment too. At full retail, the full size 65 x 40cm Tempest is lineball in price to a similar size Gauntlet (hybrid twist loop), while being about...
  7. Favourite All Purpose Cleaner for Engine Bay?

    That's pretty much all I do too, although I use a dedicated towel and little waterless wash, but that's not really needed. Keeping an engine bay clean is easier than actually having to CLEAN an engine bay.

    I thought I'd make a start on the Subaru today by knocking out the interior, allowing me to do the exterior closer to the owners return. What I thought would take me an hour ended up being a 3.5-hour marathon. :facepalm: I'll do a full write up once I've done the exterior, so for now I'll let...
  9. What did you do to your Aussie S650 today?

    Every time I see an American trying Vegemite, they always try it out of the jar, not spread across something. I think just about every Aussie would say that is THE worst way to eat Vegemite. But spread on thin or thick on a piece of bread with butter, even better if combined with a slice of...

    More Touch-less action today..................... First up, the weekly wash of the Ranger. I've been parking this car outside over the last week as I'm currently house sitting for a gardening client. With no undercover parking, I probably wasted my time washing it, but I don't care. As per...
  11. DFB's Detailing Garage

    The Wildtrak was in the box seat this morning. It's been cold, wet and miserable of late, so I had some work ahead of me, inside and out. Starting out, I foamed everything bar the horizontal panels with Bilt Hamber Touch-less, wheels and wheel arches included. With the roof and hood not...
  12. Paint Defects on New Mustang – Need Help Capturing Scratches in Photos

    All new cars, regardless of brand and price paint, have paint defects. It's just what happens when something is mass produces. And that also applies to brands such as Porche and Bentley. The reality is, vehicles coming out of Ford's American factories are abysmally bad in terms of paint quality...
  13. What's your go-to post wash wax?

    My absolute pleasure. I think you will enjoy using Slick & Slide. With any of these products, just make sure you wash your towels before they dry out.

    Researching a post just now, I came across Carpro using my image of Reload 2.0 on their US Amazon store. I demand compensation!
  15. What's your go-to post wash wax?

    Turtle Wax canned the "Pro" line because they had a problem selling these products at premium prices. For most, Turtle Wax is an entry to detailing and therefore expect a certain (low) price point. Which is sad because from those who used the new generation products, they were supposed to be...

    These were taken after the Ranger sat outside overnight in the rain. Forgetting that mental trauma for second, it at least left a pretty display of bead porn to admire. The base coating is Gyeon Pure EVO, topped with God knows what at this point. :giggle: Actually, I washed it on...
  17. S650 - Australian OEM or Aftermarket Wheels

    Check out Dr. ColorChip - Product Result – Dr Colorchip Australia Compared to a touch up pen that you can still see the chip, this system differs in that you can flatten and level the applied paint to be smooth and virtually undetectable.
  18. S650 - Australian OEM or Aftermarket Wheels

    So, touchy question, but did the front wheels that were removed have a score marks where a rock got caught between the caliper and wheel barrel?
  19. Continental sc7 vs Michelin 4s & Pirelli z4

    GT and Darkhorse use the same calipers, even the rotor size is the same. However, the Darkhorse has better two-piece rotors.
