Proud of you!! :like:

For me personally, I get a kick out of discovering new products and brands. That's why my go-to products that I use and recommend are from sourced from different brands and different suppliers. Some brands come close to providing a winning product in every category, but none truly nail it. To...

Out making some noise after work........................... Must have been Race Red day. On the way out, I spotted an FN GT Fastback with the black pack. On the way home, I had a FM GT Fastback rolling behind me then alongside in the right lane. As we pulled up side by side at the lights, I...

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant doing its thing...............................

While a bit cooler today, it was still nasty humid. Today's project, a wash and some final touches on the XR8. As always, wheels and tyres were first, but today I decided to set up the camera...................... These are my favorite wheel to clean, with plenty of clearance, they are so...

Something I discovered by chance the other day on the S650 is the hidden indicator repeaters within the grill. Not sure why these exist like this, probably to cover some an export market regulation of some kind.

I have to say, I'm getting tired of chasing stuff for this car that's either not offered here, is too expensive to import, or sold by local retailers who seem to be price gouging. I took I liking to the 2024 Rouch Intake upgrade. I mean, it might provide a small power bump, but I just like...

They are ok, but will take longer to do the job on a whole car. For blowing out mirrors, door handles, door jambs, wheels, they are a workable solution. I used an 18v Makita jobsite blower for quite a while, I could blow the car down on a single 5.0ah battery, including the door jambs.

This is why I do it..............................................

Yes, that one. I don't know, I just get nervous having that end up on the surrounding painted areas.

XR8 Paint Enhancement Continued………………. With the rest of the polishing finished up, it was time to prepare for the application of some protection. To start, I wiped the car down with KCx PPS, I had forgotten how good this stuff is. At the moment, I have three products that could have gone on...

I'll excuse the Jiff, but that ArmorAll and bug solution HAS TO GO straight in the bin. See, you'd then have room for more. With 845, just make sure you mask up or go easy around any black trims or rubber, it's old school and will stain those areas. Also, don't be surprised if you notice some...

XR8 Paint Enhancement! Back in on the 5th of November 2014, my FG-X Falcon XR8 drove off the production line, one of the first built. As of December 11th, I will have owned the car for 10-years. I can’t believe it’s been that long! Straight off the truck, December 2014...

I would use P&S Paint Gloss or Meguiar's Last Touch, those have the most anti-static properties of all listed above. The other thing you can do, depending on what rinse-less you are using, is to mix up a water-less or quick detailer ratio and use that as the drying aid. That works particularly...

I know that it's a trivial complaint, and an area of the car no one other than me ever looks at, but the missing strut tower brace badge is annoying me. Mainly because they left the rivet holes in place, which in turn makes the engine bay look unfinished. I know Anchor Room offer a...

I had it pouring out of the hood vent, if you didn't know why, you'd be extremely alarmed.

The big problem here is Ford Australia's disinterest in selling vehicles other than Ranger or Everest. Those models are far more profitable, are a quicker turnaround from order to production to delivery. In other words, they require no effort to sell. So naturally, they also want to prioritize...

Drying Aids 2024 – 2025 I’ve covered the drying aid topic a few times, but as always, new products come, and old products go. And while its always exciting when a new product arrives and impresses, its also nice to return to old favourites. In basic terms, a drying aid is providing lubrication...

In limbo at the moment. I'm trying to fit in a few gardening jobs and line up a few days to hook into my next project. But with all the rain that's been falling, that's been a challenge. I'm also exhausted again. So, it was the perfect day to be indoors and visit the local car museum. I...
