  1. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    This is purely for the soaps I've tried since 2003. I've previously rated and reviewed each soap in a long-form format - DFB's Soap Shoot Out | 2015+ S550 Mustang Forum (GT, EcoBoost, GT350, GT500, Bullitt, Mach 1) - Mustang6G.com In this case, I'm eliminating words by collating various...

    This is what a cool change and shower of rain created the other day.............. This was a good chance to put Optimum Touchless Decon Soap to test. I've used this a few times now, but not on a vehicle this dirty. Considering it was just dusty water spots, I assumed it would be a walk in...

    After yesterdays marathon RX-7 detail, I had a massive load of towels and pads to clean. Because I used Essence and Reload, I soaked the towels and pads overnight in separate buckets with a dose of KCx Green Star. Then two separate loads through the machine with Rag's to Riches. I then...

    Since release in late 2020, I've been using P&S Rag's to Riches to clean my microfiber towels. Prior to that, I was using Bowden's Microfiber Wash. Professional Microfibre Cleaner for Car Detailing | Restore and Deep Clean Cloths Rags To Riches Microfiber Towel Detergent Concentrate -...
  6. 351 Cleveland - America’s Forgotten Performance V8

    Enormous horsepower under the bonnet there, giant strides up mountain straight. Just listen to 351 work..................... If you don't have goosebumps after listening to that, I'd be checking your pulse!

    1996 MAZDA RX-7 DETAIL – This car came to me after my father mentioned my skills to a long term friend. With intentions of selling his car, he wanted it polished before listing it for sale. At that point I knew it was RX-7, but had no idea what year or condition it was in. After a short phone...

    Also worth noting the Matt polished that car with the PPF on it, attempting to remove swirls from it. Turns out the numpty who installed the PPF did so over jacked up paint. WHY would anyone have PPF installed WITHOUT polishing/perfecting the paint first? Anyway, I wonder if the heat generated...

    I would say it has something to do with being a Paint to Sample colour. From what I understand, orders with Paint to Sample are not painted on the Porsche line with Porsche paint. I'd say the car goes through the rust proofing and primer stage and is then pulled from the line and moved...

    I spotted a hint to this a few days ago on Instagram, and so the video drop today proved correct. This is something you need to consider when having PPF installed on a car you intend to keep long term. Not a pretty situation and feel quite bad for him. This is not something you hear a lot about...

    In 2020 I treated myself to a new pressure washer, moving up from a well-used Karcher K2.4 to a Kranzle K1152 (K1122). Was like going from a 1990's Hyundai to the latest Porsche 911. Fantastic machine, expensive but justified considering how much I was going to use it and how much enjoyment I...

    Gearing up for an oil change on the Kranzle, I decided to make a platform for it to sit on, in turn making it easier to drain the fluid into a container underneath. This was the last time I changed the oil. Considering how heavy these things are, it was a little sketchy balancing on top of...

    Ignoring the brand-sell, there are some valuable tire cleaning insights in this video. Some of this I knew, some of it provided clarification, some of it new to me. The takeaway for me was that tire browning is not removing active UV inhibitors within the rubber, but rather the removal of "dead"...

    Is it winter yet? Hell, I'd settle for a little autumnal bliss. This is day 4 of a 7-day heatwave with temps above 40-deg C (104-deg f), apparently this is the hottest place on earth at the moment. 🥵 Despite the heat, I still got out in the garage, EGO fan misting away and a Yeti bottle full...

    EGO LEAF BLOWERS - OVERVIEW & WHICH ONE TO BUY This is a common question I come across online, “what blower should I buy to help dry my car”. (Take note of the word "help" in that question, which I will explain shortly). Now, the reply to this could go several ways, each having both pros and...

    Washed the XR6 ready to be rotated back under cover this afternoon, XR6 in, Mustang out. Something that's impressed me over the last week has been this Optimum Power Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Now, I was probably a little harsh on this product when I first tried it, but it seems to have redeemed...
