Another day, another delivery........................... These new Detail Factory brushes have only just hit the market. The foam ones are like those craft brushes, just with a better handle and stronger foam. However, I do wonder how durable they will be. From what I can see, they were...

Today I managed to get rid of the Ranger's old steel wheels, which meant a trip to the storage shed. Didn't get much for them, but they are hardly desirable for anything other than to use on a trailer. Anyway, good riddance. While I was there, I thought I'd get the Jaaaaaag out for a run...

I once got 15-years out of a set of wipers. :wink: ..................helps when you don't actually use the wipers. 🤫

Can anyone tell why you would bother advertising something on your social media channels, but don't actually bother having it represented on your online store? Example, MyStangMods showing off their new "custom" steering wheels for S650. Cool, I might go and check them out. Find their website...

Well, I finally caved and decided to try a few Labocosmetica products. Labocosmetica Labocosmetica - Detailing Shed Labocosmetica – The Detail Store Semper smells absolutely divine, like an Italian aftershave or high-end body wash......................in fact I'm thinking showering...

A couple of things to consider - 1. How clean is the interior side of the glass? With new cars, as the interior off-gasses, it leaves a film on the glass. It can take many months for this to stop happening, so frequent interior glass cleaning will be required. 2. When attempting to remove...

I wish I had access to a dealer like that. Being in a rural area, my dealer pretty much only sells and services Ranger's, a few Everest's, and some more Ranger's. A Mustang is like some sort of exotic hand-built unicorn that bamboozles the service staff. Serious question, did you have the oil...

Meeting it's stable mates..................................

How many diesel Ford Ranger's get their exhaust tip polished? After cleaning with soapy water from my wheel bucket, which was Megs Hyper Wash today, it was time for an old favorite, P21S Polishing Soap..................................... Get P21S Metal Polishing Soap Online | Waxit – Waxit...

My sisters XC60 was in the box seat, and for today, I decided to put together a video during the wash phase. The video kicks with a rinse after cleaning the wheels and foaming the car down with KCx Active Foam. I then foam with KCx GSF for the contact wash, then the final rinse. After...

Not sure if it's just me, but this car seems to have really woken up after clearing the 1000 km mark (Yes, I know, it's taken me 7-months to do about 1200 km) Full disclosure, I haven't been babying the engine, it been run in quite firmly. However, it now feels so much stronger and really...

Ranger Wildtrak Detail 2025 – Part 2 With the “hard” work done yesterday, today was about getting the coating applied. Pre-Coating Prep - According to Carpro, you can coat straight over Essence without using a panel prep. This was done to help prevent marring on really soft paint. Having...

Has anyone used a Bluetooth battery condition monitor. These connect to the battery terminals and alert you via your phone when the battery charge is down. I have a client who swears by them, which he has installed on a Landcruiser which is only occasionally driven. SCA 12V Wireless Battery...

Ranger Wildtrak Detail 2025 The Wildtrak was last polished and coated in January 2023, the Can Coat EVO performed beyond expectations, easily lasting about 15-months. For a coating “lite” with a 12-month durability claim, and considering the car is parked outdoors 24/7, you really can’t ask for...

The Mustang has been on "daily" duty this week, so it was next in line for attention today. And what a nice day to be outside, and on a Saturday too! I worked every Saturday and Sunday for the better part of 10-years, having the choice to enjoy the weekend is new luxury for me. There was...

Something I've noticed over the last couple of chilly mornings, upon starting the car, it will automatically turn on the heated steering wheel and seats. Actually, over summer I found the opposite, instead firing up the seat ventilation. It would appear this happens when remotely starting the...
