With rainy days and a big mowing run this week, combined with puppy carrying duties, the Ranger was genuinely dirty and in need of a wash.
The tyres were cleaned with Optimum Power Wheel & Tire Clean, finishing the bottle of this excellent product. The wheels were cleaned with KCx Active Foam...
Stocking up on the lovely Koch Chemie GSF.

So, a few things to mention with GSF -
- Don't buy this soap if your primary requirement is ultimate cleaning...
PRESSOL STAINLESS SPRAY TIPS -
One of the early problems with these Pressol spray heads was the failure of the plastic spray tips. The reason why they had such a high failure rate, well I say it was mixture of poor atomization and user error.
These tips had a narrow window of adjustment, the...
PRESSOL PARTY!
Considering the previous posts this week, it was only natural to go full Pressol for today's detail.
First up, tyre cleaning with P&S Undressed. After cleaning the wheels with Brake Buster, Hydes Rust Inhibitor went on the front brake rotors. Both Undressed and Hydes came from...
PRESSOL PRO-SERIES SQUEEZE BOTTLES
These are another Obsessed Garage visionary, Matt wanting the soaps from multiple brands in matching bottles. In this case, the solution was to create a squeezable version of the Pro-Series spray bottles. These new items are only available in the 750ml size...
I think there is some overestimation going on in this thread as to the protective ability of a spray and wipe product, be that a wax, polymer sealant or Si02 spray sealant. That's not to say those product's aren't good or enjoyable to use, but they aren't offering much, if any, protecting of...
PRESSOL PRO-SERIES + ARMOUR DETAIL SUPPLY LEBELS
Labelling these Pressol sprayers is not new. For a while now, Obsessed Garage have been offering labels for the household bottles in both 500 and 750ml sizes. The goal was to create unity across multiple product brands by having a matching bottle...
After yesterday's orchard run, it was the XR6's turn for a wash.
Foamed Brake Buster was used on the wheels and tyres, followed by some Hydr02 to top off the coating, and Atom Mac for the rotors. I then thoroughly rinsed the car and moved inside for a rinse-less wash.
Product of choice today...
Meg's make some nice products, have several in circulation.
If you like that product, I can 100% guarantee you'll LOVE this one.......................

Factory paint is different to repair/body-shop paint, so there is no waiting period with a new car. A spray wax or sealant will be totally fine.
Just keep in mind that even brand-new cars need to be prepped before applying a wax/sealant/coating, especially for vehicles delivered via rail...
Got an email earlier in the week announcing the closure of Adam's Australia. I could see this panning out over the past year, mainly from the range dwindling and not being restocked.

In Australia, I'm fairly sure the Adam's brand was distributed by a sole...
HOW TO CLEAN POLISHING PADS – THE EASY WAY
Surely one of the worst parts of polishing, cleaning used pads can be time consuming and messy. Needless to say, it’s not a part of detailing that I look forward to.
How easily a pad releases the polish within the material will depend on the pad...
If you can provide some images of the spots, I can be a little more targeted with a recommendation.
In this case, you need a focused product rather than a "cleaner and conditioner". From experience, those products do very little cleaning, but a whole lot of "covering up" under the guise of...
Another little refresh task on the Ranger today. This is something I've had on the to-do list for over a year now, I just kept telling myself I'd get to it when I had a moment...................you know how it is.
A black unpainted plastic deflector is mounted to the bottom of the front...
