A little re-stock from Detailing Shed before the Christmas closures. The notable inclusion here being that spray bottle, the new Pressol Pro-Series. I've been using v1 Pressol sprayers for a while now. From an aesthetic point of view, I love how I can fill them with a multitude of different...

First wash post detail, which is always super satisfying in how easily everything comes together. Don't let the Brake Buster bottle fool you, that's Griot's Wheel-Tire-Mat Cleaner. This product has a mild scent to mask that acrid chemical aroma of most rubber cleaners such as Brake Buster, Wise...

The Griot's lineup is massive. With the chemicals, Autobarn would have done the same thing that's happened with Chemical Guys, Gyeon and Gtechniq that are now sold in box stores. In that I mean keeping the product mix very weekend warrior friendly...............which is why there are a lot of...

I've been suffering from fatigue over the last couple of days, no doubt the result of the last 10-days. But I push on......................... Yesterday I gave the Ranger it's weekly wash, and having rained, it was covered in road film. Today it was the Wildtrak's turn, again covered in grime...
