Polishing Continued...............................
Back on the polishers today as I continue working around the car. Today, I started on the hood, in particular the gloss black hood vent. I knew this would test my patience, so starting on it while I was still fresh made the most sense. While...

I asked Nick to keep me a 5-liter Traceless and Touchless aside for me, when he let me know it was in stock, I was told it was selling fast. So, not surprised. Apparently AutoBuff have a limited amount of both due tomorrow.
Speaking of the FTW, I've found that and Invisible Glass to be the...
Well, I have had the S650 for a week now, it took the same time for my old S550 to sell.
I have to say, this is the saddest I have felt about letting go of that car, I couldn't have loved that car more if I tried. If only the new owner knew what that car did for me, and ultimately, I hope...
Polishing!
I have been planning this for more than two years now, how will I be polishing and protecting this new car. And after countless hours of procrastination, I finally arrive at this moment where I immerse myself in getting this car to look the best I can possibly achieve.

Old vs New!
I remember back when the S650 was unveiled in 2022, there was a lot of conjecture as to how “new” the new Mustang was. This only intensified once the press began to closely scrutinize the new model. The main cause of contention being that this new model was more of heavy refresh and...
Welcome to my dilemma 3 years ago, all the wheels I liked were not offered in Australia. Then, after settling on the HP wheels in matte black, within a few months a few of the key aftermarket supplied started to stock them. By the time I imported them from CJ Pony Parts, including shipping and...
Just discovered these images using SVE SP2 wheels, the aftermarket version of the HP Performance wheels I kept from my S550.
Hmmm, I like how they allow for a better view of the big Brembo's. I'm thinking when I remove the wheels to coat them, I'll coat the calipers and then put on the HP...
Cluster Themes!
I'm going to get this out of the way right now, I like REAL gauges! I've made this analogy a few times, but it sums up my feelings on the demise of traditional gauge clusters. Ask a watch nerd what's their favorite watch, they are not going to name one of the countless "smart"...
I sympathize with you here; glass is a pain. And after cleaning the glass for the first time earlier this week, I still have some residue at the base of the rear screen, which means folding myself back into the rear seats to do it again.
On new cars, you end up with quite a lot of fogginess...
Do you park outdoors a lot, or near sprinklers?
To me, those are mineral etchings caused by water rapidly drying on the surface, in effect, burning the minerals into the paint or surface. Ford will not warranty this, it will be considered an environmental factor not a manufacturing defect.

Line Lock!
The Line Lock function was originally left off the table for Australian Mustang owners, Ford Australia coding it out to appear politically correct and not raise the attention of Tracy Grimshaw and her posse of "investigators" (Sorry, an Aussie reference). At some point though, Ford...
Engine Bay!
The engine bay on delivery was in ok condition, but needed some attention to bring it up to spec. At the first wash, I simply wiped it down using Carpro ECH20, but I could see a couple of areas that would need a little more work.

One of the things I had anticipated about my leave, the ability to just step out into the garage and tinker away without a time limit. With two next two days on back on the tools, I decided to just take the opportunity to just hang.
And in case you thought the poor old Falcon's were being...
