I recently put the Mustang’s Performance Pack wheels up for sale. These wheels have been sitting in storage gathering dust since they were removed from the vehicle in October last year. At one point I was going to ceramic coat them, but considering I had no intention of refitting them to the...

I'm a noise cancelling headphone type of guy, blocks out unwanted noise and replaces it with "Sweet Music". :wink: This is my third attempt at NC headphones. My first set was from Sennheiser SPXC 550-II, which I assumed was a high-end brand and a safe bet. Well, the power switch failed just...

The XR8 was let out of captivity on the weekend, and boy did she love the crisp winter air! In such conditions, this is a car that you need to hand on for dear life, especially when you have full traction and the torque limiting is unleased from third gear onward. Of course, the side benefit...

You will love it!

Trust me, you certainly need them when using an EGO blower. Instead of the noise generated by a petrol engine, you get a high pitched shrill from the electric motor and impeller. Unlike a petrol blower that has a large fan blade impeller parallel to the starter rope, electric blowers are...

The Bowdens BGS is an excellent towel, I still have a couple in service. In comparison, the BGS would be a competitor to the large size Gauntlet. You will note the GSM is lower for the Gauntlet, this is because of the different weave types between them. Gauntlet Large - - 50 x 75cm - 70%...

What? Having a Big Boi doesn't interest you? :blush: :giggle:

Tool Cleaning Day……………………………… Surprise, surprise, I like clean tools. Considering my line of work, that isn’t always possible, so it ends up being an occasional attempt. It doesn’t help when someone returns a borrowed tool in dirty condition……………………😡 Kranzle K1152 – This was actually on the...

Don't rule out the dedicated car dryers either. These are VERY effective, more so than a leaf blower because they concentrate the output to more effectively "drive" water beads off the surface. They are also heated (which is nice in winter for both car and user) and are filtered. The drawback is...

Try and test a 530 in store before you buy, if you can't, let me know and I'll take a video of what I'm talking about with the throttle lag. I personally find the throttle lag on the 530 I bought for my dad very annoying, but you may find it ok. In reality, you are running the unit at full...

Bilt Hamber Trace-less – Is it really traceless? This product has been an exercise in frustration for me. As I watched and read about how good this glass cleaner is, I was naturally excited to try Trace-less once it hit the Australian market. As soon as it landed in stores, I ignored my own...

Your other option would be a dedicated car drying blower. I have one, but have rarely used it since I went down the EGO path.

I would absolutely avoid the 530, not only is it too lean, it doesn't have a variable throttle, which means the throttle is just switch. The problem is, there is a massive delay in squeezing the "throttle" and the unit powering up. And that gets old. I actually found this out after buying one...

For those that have or are looking to use a leaf blower to assist in the drying process, Waxit have recently added the Stubby Nozzle Co. to their store, which were previously only available through Etsy in Australia. STUBBY Nozzle Co. – Waxit Car Care These are 3D-printed replacement...

You would think and hope so at that price point. Sadly, I've seen brand new Bentley's that needed extensive paint correction post manufacture. So yeah, it's not just the mass produced brands that suffer from poor paint application or condition.

:wink:

Gave the ProCut a well-deserved wash today! Bilt Hamber Touch-less at 1.5% PIR. This was foamed on and left to soak for 5 minutes, which allows the product to penetrate and break down the dirt for easy removal via the pressure washer. Touch-less is fantastic for this sort of thing because you...

A day off today, and after a week of grey sky's, it was nice to be out in the sunshine. The Ranger was filthy after a damp mowing run this week, so it was first in line for treatment. Wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned using foamed Brake Buster. In the foam cannon today, Shine Supply Shift...

If you take it to the dealer for the oil change, I wouldn't bother supplying the oil as they will use Castrol Magnetec Professional. Otherwise, don't rule out Penrite - ENVIRO+ GF-S 5W-30 (FULL SYN) | Penrite Oil If you are doing it yourself, this website is good for OE Ford service parts...
