Well........................................ The House of Rags Australia

It's not a very durable paint, so any solvent should remove it. I only removed it where visible, in particular the exhaust tips. My car even had overspray on the rear wheels and tyres. This what I removed from the wheels............................

I initially liked what they did with the new Prado, but after seeing them on the road, it looks over styled to my eyes. And the fact they stuck with that old engine, in effect forcing you to buy the larger 300-series if you want a decent engine. The PowerStroke V6 in the Ranger and Everest was...

Old Blue's turn today................... Carpro Reset teamed with the Carpro DabDab. IMG_4689 by D B, on Flickr After blow drying, I decided to apply ADS Ceramic Sealant. This stuff couldn't be easier to apply, no streaking, no excessive buffing, no hokey pokey application...

Not a fan of that stupid shifter either. I remember complaining about it when they launched the new model, you know change for change sake. I had a Ford employee say that apparently the "focus group" clinics showed a preference for the new shifter over the conventional setup. How was the...

Something completely foreign was falling from the sky today............... a clear liquid called rain. It was a very dry summer, as has been the start to autumn, everything is crispy brown and super dusty. The rain will hopefully green things up and put some freshness in the air. So, a wet day...

Sunset cruise, would you believe it needs a wash?

Air Compressor Oil Change I was given this Kincrome air compressor about 10-years ago. These units were specific to the Australian market, going on sale in 2011 via a partnership with the Italian manufacturer FIAC. Mine is the 2.5 HP 50-litre unit with a twin piston cast iron cylinder, but they...

I'm not an expert in this area, mainly because I've never needed to look into it. Despite the town I live in being a drug infested dump, our water supply is considered the best in the country. From what I can tell, household filtration is different to the deionizer treatment systems used for...

DFB’s 2025 Pressure Washer Picks With so many to pressure washers to choose from on the market, the following are the units I would buy if in the market right now! These have been chosen for their flow rates, quality and simplicity. As mentioned earlier, they are also easily upgraded. The...

Pressure Washers 2025 I have covered this topic in the past but since then, both new machines and more affordable accessories have come to market, in turn giving consumers more choice. I think we are now seeing manufacturers acknowledge the detailing sector by producing specific pressure...

The XR6 clocked 32 this morning.................after nearly 17-years on the road. :giggle: That's 32,000 km, 19,884 miles.

These areas are tedious to deal with. The go-to would be an APC teamed with a firmer boars hair brush, but quite often the stains will remain. This then points to mineral deposits, which is quite common as these areas are harder to dry properly with a towel, so as the water evaporates it leaves...

I had someone question the pH of this product moving from 4.0 to 8.0 under dilution. My initial research came across the following video, hone in on the 4-min mark - Neat - pH 4.0 256:1 - pH 8.0 I have since measured this myself using 256:1 and neat - Neat - pH 4.7 256:1 - pH 7.47 One...

Ha ha, not quite. :wink:

Koch Chemie Rapid Rinse-less Wash RRW Over the last 12 – 18months, it seems as if a new rinse-less wash hits the market every week! Where once it was a choice between Optimum No Rinse, McKee’s N-914 or Carpro ECH20, just about every brand is going down this path. And so, now Koch Chemie have a...

Yesterday I went on a day trip to Mitchelton Winery for my sister's birthday. I don't drink, so I wasn't there to sample the wares other than lunch at The Muse restaurant. https://www.mitchelton.com.au/pages/muse-restaurant Having been there a number of times in recent years, what interests...

Three additional soaps to add to the mix.......................... P&S Wide Open – I have to say, P&S make some great products, but soaps are not their specialty. Pearl is mediocre, Frostbite doesn’t have the cleaning power they claim, and while there is some charm to Inspiration Radiance, it...

Today, I followed through with a promise I made way back in September last year. My friend and favorite customer has had a ride in the XR8 back when I took delivery in 2014, as well as my previous Mustang in 2017, so it was a mere formality that he would get the same flame-thrower ride in the...

You posted that message at 1.20am Australian time, was VERY much asleep at that time. :wink:
