  2. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Well, in that case, you will be pleased to learn that they do lint a bit when new, prior to first wash. What colour did you chose in the end?
  3. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    How did you find that website. I've been dropping in and out of that sight for a couple of months and have noticed so many bugs and dead links, something the owner doesn't seem to notice. The link you provided led to a car cover that doesn't include Darkhorse and hasn't catered for the rear...
  4. Oil Air Separator Install

    You would be worried about warranty implications if it was an aftermarket part. However, these are from Ford Performance, which while fitted aftermarket, they are in fact Ford warranted parts with Ford branding.
  5. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Car covers, not necessarily detailing as such, but a related topic. In particular, the custom fitted car covers offered by both the aftermarket and Ford themselves. I've had a CoverCraft FormFit for many years now, which I used on my S550. Actually, the genuine Ford accessory covers sold through...
  6. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    After foaming the car, I would always have 100-200ml left in the bottle, which I would keep and use for the next vehicle's wheels. But as @bfets mentioned, if you have hard water, the minerals within the water will attack the soap and reduce its foaming ability. Now, you can get around that by...

    Ok, so WOW! What a positive experience today was. I'm very tired, but at the same time quite pumped! It's been said that the Australian detailing industry has a severe lack of training avenues when it comes to helping upskill and further budding detailers, or even for those like me who live...

    You will only need to remove the inlet fitting to get access to the orifice fitting. These two videos are worth watching, the first for rebuilding the PF22.2, the second has some insight into orifices (from about 2 min 30)-
  9. Aussie S650 Breaking-in 1600kms

    I'd be surprised they did any of that. This was the condition of the battery on my S550 after paying for a $550+ service. And that's despite them apparently inspecting the battery, which was printed on the invoice, the report you have posted above, and the emailed...
  10. This Just Got Real!

    Today was wash number four, and the second since the coatings went down on the paint and wheels. A little post wash rinsing action for you.................... Wise Guy was again used on the tyres, but I switched to Carpro Reset for the wheels and paint. Drying aid was also ADS...

    Wash day on several fronts today. First, my little man was off for a bath and haircut.......................... Next up, the XR6............................. Shine Supply Wise Guy on the tyres, then Shine Supply Shift for the wheels and paint. Drying Aid was ADS Amplify, interior wiped...
  12. Aussie S650 Breaking-in 1600kms

    I always do an oil change at the complimentary 3000 km inspection. But It's the same story every time, I ask for an oil change, the service advisor then gets all stroppy trying to explain that its not included in the 3000km inspection, that Ford uses running-in oil, and that I'd have to pay for...
  13. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Remind me again which Karcher you use? The 1.4 would likely make sense on a high-flowing Kranzle, AR or Active machines. Having said that, I've been running the OG/DS suggested/installed 1.25 orifice with my Kranzle KHD/10. So, I'm a little confused why Waxit went with 1.4. All I can think of...

    Take Two! Or is that Take Six? :wink: Not perfect by any means, but I'm enjoying the challenge.

    Don't leave me hanging, what did you use on the wheels?

    The 1.1 is suggested for most Karchers, so you that should have you sorted. The Pressure Washer Spreadsheet

    Wow wow wow, thanks soooo much! I installed the GoPro App when I bought the camera and haven't used it since. Yes, it has live view! This will be an immense help! :like: As for camera mountings, in the first video below, I use a window mounted suction cup. This is far easier to get a good...
