On its routine wash today, I made a start on decontaminating the Wildtrak in preparation for polishing and coating next week. This wasn't planned, but I thought I may as well get a head start, in turn getting me to the polishing step quicker. My starting point today was thick layer of dust...

They should rename themselves Greasy Sausages 'R Us or DSRS (Disgusting Sausages R Us). Below is a post I wrote elsewhere regarding the Bunning's effect, which will undoubtably apply to car care in the long run too...

So, Bunnings (think Home Depot for US readers) have joined the car care and automotive sector. I noticed a few Meguiar's products creeping onto the shelves earlier this year, but they now have an entire isle dedicated to automotive, with several shelves of that on car care. This will undoubtably...

Happy Mustang Day to you!! :party:

Oh, trust me, I agree with that. I wish they had called the Mach E the Galaxy instead of Mustang. If they do a RWD sedan again, I don't want it called Mustang. At the risk of offending a certain group of Aussies, they should 100% call it Falcon. That would be a rather touching nod to the...

The following websites I've come across that are offering more Ford/Ford Performance accessories than Ford themselves - The Mancave Garage - In addition to the usual tchotchkes, they sell Ford/FP service parts and accessories. I got my Ford Performance catch cans from them as Herrod is on...

I would start by cleaning with a pure dedicated leather cleaner, not one of those combination cleaner/protectors. Use it with a towel or interior brush, wipe dry and inspect. However, I have a feeling this might be a similar issue to the opening post, as in abrasion of the color itself. In...

Hmmm, they made one for 56 years in Australia, wasn't called Mustang though....................................... That's a supercharger by the way........................................

I'm heavily guided by my sense of smell in just about every area of my life. I have a very strong sense of smell, to the point where I can smell things others can't. Scent is also strongly tied with memories for me, both pleasant and unpleasant. This is both a blessing and a curse. I decided...

Motorplast is nice, which is used in the same manner as Hyper Dressing, ie onto a wet surface and allowed to dry/self-level. This is what you are aiming for when using Motorplast and Hyper Dressing, generous coverage. From here, you can use a blower or compressed air to help spread into the...

Those are for the gallon concentrate. Your smaller bottle will be premixed at 1:1, so cut it 50/50 with water to arrive at 4:1.

Did you buy the gallon concentrate of 946ml RTU bottle? These are the gallon dilution ratios. I mix it at 4:1 or 5:1 for a natural, "barely there" look. Meguiar's Hyper Dressing 2:1 333 ml 167 ml 500 ml Medium Gloss 3:1 375 ml 125 ml 500 ml Satin Finish 4:1 400 ml 100 ml 500 ml...

No reason why you can't, but it will be a time-consuming endeavor. With so much intricacy, you would have to be very careful to not end up with high spots in areas that are hard to access properly with your towels. In theory, you would coat the black plastics (fuse boxes/battery trim...

The mowers are fine if you cut frequently, but if the grass is damp or longer than ideal, the bar blade and narrow discharge chute will struggle to process that grass into the catcher. Same applies to all American mowers, I went that way once and ended up having to get rid of it as stopping...

EGO's battery technology is second to none, both the battery itself but also the chargers. I rate the blowers, the work light, misting fan, power inverters, hedge and grass trimmers. The pressure washers are supposed to be a decent option for those without access to power and water. I'm also...

If your engine bay was ultra dirty, you could use Bilt Hamber Touch-less, foam it on and allow to soak, then rinse off with water. Mist with some Hyper Dressing or Koch Chemie Motorplast and job done. In your case, I'd stick to giving it the occasional rinse, and wipe down with your favorite...

Very much depends on the engine bay. THE KEY thing when it comes to using a hose or pressure washer under the hood...................................just use common sense. I know a lot freak out, but modern cars are very well made in this regard, and anyway, water can enter the engine bay from...

For heavy cleaning, I'd do Koch Chemie Green Star mixed at 10:1. Spray it on, agitate with brushes, then rinse clear. You could also use a decon style soap such as Carpro Lift, NV Snow+, Koch Chemie Active Foam. Foam it on, agitate with brushes, then rinse. After cleaning like that...

Restocking some favorites.......................... There are two separate orders above. Most of it came from Detailing Shed, but I had to get the towels from CarCareCo. I tend to avoid buying from CarCareCo if I can help it, their website is woefully bad and contains a number of bugs and...

Yeah, I tried a Dyson for car cleaning and it just doesn't work at all. Actually, I have a pet hatred for Dyson, overpriced and over marketed Chinese made JUNK. I've been using a Milwaukee M18 vac for quick clean ups, and a larger Karcher wet/dry vac for when I need outright grunt. I hate...
