With my install on the S550, I remember struggling with removing and installing the press-fit hardware that was used on existing holes in the rocker cover. That's why I chose to leave it in place to empty the can. So, its good to hear they new design is easily unclipped and lifted out. When I...

Well, I had one fitted to my S550, they work great. The following pics were after 7-months on the car. Just keep in mind I don't do a lot of km's, but when the car goes out, the engine gets a nice work out, which apparently produces more oil vapor! :wink: Also keep in mind that the new kit...

Thanks for the feedback, I won’t bother then. I have some decent metal ones fitted to the Jag, they work as expected.

Luckily my salesman was fully aware of how terrible those things look, so I left it in the boot after inspecting the car prior to delivery. As soon as I got home after picking the car up, I threw the thing straight into the recycling bin.

Did you take possession and bin the stupid number plate plinth while you were at it? Mine went in the bin as soon as I got home.

What? You drove it in the rain? Kidding of course. :giggle:

Gearing Up! Previous to my S550, the only manual cars I had driven were basic work vehicles, think delivery vans and single-cab pickups trucks. In 2010, I took delivery of manual PK Ranger, which became my daily driver. That car was replaced in 2016 with a new PX MK II Ranger. In both cases...

If you like cars, and like Ford's, chances are you like V8's too, this video is a must watch. Something that I find fascinating is how the current Ford CEO, Jim Farley, fully understands the importance of the V8 and its meaning to Ford customers. He spends his spare time on the racetrack racing...

Very fast shipping from The Mancave Garage!

I'm so glad you went and saw the car, see, I told you it would make things better. I'm just so bummed for you, I feel like we both went through this protracted wait for these cars, then to have yours held back like this, I feel bad as I already have my car and its not on the recall list. One...

It's all about little victories at the moment. I'm trying to keep my brain active while being mindful that I'm supposed to be resting. Cleaning out the chemical cabinet was a low impact task that was quite satisfying. And after a long break, I've been making coffee again. In the garage, I'm...

One other thing to watch out for when modifying pressure washers is to be mindful of nozzle and foam cannon orifice sizes. For a Karcher K2 or K3, you would be using the 1.1 mm orifice supplied with the MTM foam cannon (they come with one fitted, and a second in the box. Just make sure the 1.1...

I don't have a review of multiple foam cannons, but I can steer you in the right direction. Now, at this point I will highlight there are countless foam cannons on the market, from $10 Amazon specials right through to the premium end above $100. Now, those $10 foam cannons work, but the...

That gloss is amazing! Grab yourself some EliXir or Amplify for Maintenace and you will keep it looking like that!

Is this to remove polish residue, or do you mean for the application of detail sprays/spray sealants ect? For polish removal, a lower pile helps cut through the residue, something like the Edgeless 365 or Car Wash Towel. For spray/wipe applications, you can bump up to a longer pile to something...

Ha ha, I actually wrote that article! :like: I chose to leave the prep spray as a general recommendation so it would work better for them. The general rule of thumb is to use the corresponding prep spray offered by the coating brand itself, in that case it would be ADS Prep Spray. I've used...

If you are happy to do it yourself, the calipers as well, then I'd favor the ADS Wheel coating over what they use. It's THE best wheel coating out there.

A couple of tips to consider, be that you applying protection, or a detailer - - Please be aware that ceramic coatings are NOT impervious. Yes, they can last longer and have higher chemical resistance, but they DO NOT tolerate neglect, improper maintenance or prevent foreign substances (bird...

I would add a wheel coating to your list as well. Personally, I see coating the wheels as absolutely necessary, if only to make cleaning easier with dusty Brembo's. For matte finishes, you want to do this ASAP before the brake dust permeates the paint.

100% agree.
