Nah, I've already hacked them off by calling white wheels tacky. :wink:

Ok, so I haven't put white wheels on the car. It's a running gag I have with a guy online. I post a pic of one of my cars and he suggests it would look better with white wheels, he posts a pic and I suggest he should consider white wheels. In this case, he went one better and photoshopped...

Decided to do white wheels....................................

Did a "sanity wash" on the XR6 today. With such dry and windy conditions, the poor thing was covered in layer of dust, which naturally shows up on such a dark colour. For today's effort, I did a bit of a hybrid wash. The wheels and tyres were treated as normal, with the tyres scrubbed using...

The world "ceramic" in products that aren't actually a proper small glass bottle of ceramic coating can cause some confusion. I don't want to flat out say that it's a marketing ploy because there are certain benefits to "ceramic" infused products. But the term "ceramic" outside of coatings just...

With the Wildtrak about to embark on a 1500 km round trip to Adelaide for the Tour Down Under, I wanted to get it back into shape before taking off. Compared to the usual maintenance wash, I spent some extra time making sure it was ready for action. To start, I popped the hood and inspected the...

Complaining about fuel economy on a V8 muscle car? 🤔 Or the lack of cup holders? Perhaps drink in the kitchen before you go for a drive, like a grown up. :wink: I have to admit, I do miss the manual transmission I had in my S550, but only when I feel like "driving", if that makes sense? The...

I usually get in trouble for saying it, but this is why you should NOT use all-purpose-cleaner on interiors................ The above are chemical burns caused by using Meguiar's D101 on a Toyota Corolla. Piecing things together, it would seem the product was not diluted properly, as in...

100%. I'm a neurotic when it comes to comparing just about anything in life, the same applies to reviewing insurance policies. What I've found with the insurance industry, there is often no rhyme or reason for policy premiums. Sometimes they come back and you go wow, that's not bad at all...

Same here. I noticed the massive increase in premiums after the 2022 floods in my area....................despite my place of residence not being in a flood zone. With Enthusiast, they will allow you to nominate a milage cap, the major insurance companies don't really account for that, so you...

I've had this go both ways. In the past, I used a broker for my work vehicle, which was also tied up with my business insurance. Having them sort both out was very much a connivence. Brokers know the connivence factor and very much rely on you being too busy or lazy to compare things for...

I noticed the same. Have a look at Enthusiast Car Insurance. They are basically the "new" Shannon's, as in realistic prices for low km / specialty vehicles. No doubt they will end up jacking the prices like Shannon's did, but for the moment, I've found them reasonable. M - Custom Car...

I need to try Eulex M and TEA in this role as well. I've also heard TarX being used like this too.

Koch Chemie Eulex - Last week I found a new use for a product I've had in my arsenal for a while now, Koch Chemie Eulex. Eulex is a powerful solvent, generally used for heavy duty tar and adhesive removal. It has a high evaporation rate, can be quite heady to use in confined spaces, and needs...

Impromptu drive..............

I've been on another soap binge of late, this time Optimum's new Touchless Decon Wash. https://detailingshed.com.au/collections/newest-products/products/optimum-touchless-decontamination-car-wash?variant=48098473115863 Decontamination or stripping soaps are almost always alkaline in nature...

Volvo XC60 B6 – Full Reset Detail It’s been a while since I’ve had this car in the garage, which also means a while since its been washed……………………. I’m the only one allowed to touch this vehicle. Brand new in 2023, my sister had it coated with Carpro Cquartz Professional shortly after delivery...

Just don't do partial panels, ie half the hood, half the quartet panel. Over time that edge will become pronounced and very obvious. Also, the paint will fade a different rate, so if/when you need to replace/remove it, you have a very defined appearance difference. Always do full panels if not...

Another last-minute order from Detailing Shed - The order included some new interior towels, which I selectively rotate out of service as needed. I wanted another gallon of Amplify, but they were sold out and had to make do with the small bottle. The little Pressol bottle will be used for...

Another 40+ degree C day, another Ranger. Annoyingly, it's just rained, undoing my work and meaning tomorrow will humid. I hate summer! Nothing special on this one, it just HAD to be done. But it did give me a proper chance to see how these new Pressol Pro Series sprayers perform. I've used...
