  1. This Just Got Real!

    Out for a drive, because why not? I had some concerns I would find the 10R80 boring after having a manual, but I'm really enjoying this transmission. Compared to the earlier calibrations of this box, it seems much better sorted in normal driving conditions. The rev-match throttle blips are...

    Looking good! :clap: How is the slickness after the Finest Reserve was applied? Is it slick to touch or somewhat grabby?
  3. This Just Got Real!

    I took this image back in November 2017................................ Back then, there was quite a lot of push-back from loyal Ford fans in regard to the Mustang. Or should I say, Falcon fans. At the time, the factory closures were still fresh in people's minds, the Mustang was seen as the...

    Marilyn Monaro! This afternoon a very special visitor dropped by for a visit. This stunning Holden Monaro has been in the family since new! The car was originally my aunt's daily driver but sat unused on a farm for decades, it's only recently been given a restoration by her son. Don't ask...
  5. This Just Got Real!

    Same, I don't think I need a spoiler on the rear now. I hadn't seen an S650 until last Wednesday when my own car turned up off the truck. Then having them parked side by side on Tuesday, it was only then that I realized how dated the S550 suddenly became to me. But its mostly the rear, the...
  6. This Just Got Real!

    100% agree. I don't think photos do S650 justice, S550 on the other hand was perfection right out of the gate.

    I had Altrex on my old Mustang, they looked a little crisper, but overall I like the smoother look of the Kingpin's.

    On Tuesday, I finally took delivery of my S650. After such a long, drawn out process, I can safely say that it was worth the wait. My new car had an older sidling keeping it company. I also got the opportunity to have my old S550 and new S650 side by side. The S550 sat in same position...

    I'm probably spamming the internet with my car at the moment, but I've been waiting to show it off for two years, so sue me! :giggle: When Ford unveiled the S650, I have to say the rear end did not grab me. Strangely, I now absolutely love the rear styling. At the front, those brooding...

    I did note that Shield is not recommended for artificial leather and vinyl, but I have not had adverse effects from using like that. Thing is, ColourLock would love you to buy their Artificial Leather Cleaner and Artificial Leather Protector in addition to the equivalent for real leather. And...

    As was obvious, the two year wait for this car tested my patience, especially between year one and year two! As the wait grew longer and longer, I had people telling me that they would never wait so long for a car. Many times I considered cancelling my order and buying something else. If the...

    Inner Workings! Most detailers hate doing interiors! And trust me, I can totally get that. Dealing with neglected interiors is time consuming and tedious, compounded by being cramped up within a confined space. My worst nightmare? Dealing with the cheap and nasty carpet the Japanese and Korean...

    The dye they use in the wool tends to leach over time, turning them grey. Some do this more than others, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the product. I have both the Ultra Wheel Mitt and Ultra Wool Mitt, I like both for different reasons. The microfiber Ultra Wheel Mitt is...

    The below video is my first appearance in front of the camera, the idea to put my words into action. Please know, I don't do YouTube to make money from, I couldn't care less about that. But I'm doing to try something new, and to bring my written and stills content into motion. I say this because...

    For a car guy, and a detailer in particular, the first wash of a new car is a very important bonding moment. For me, it's the moment where I begin to understand "how" to wash the car. The S550 was my favorite car to wash, the expansive panels and all of those taut lines were strangely...

    So after more than a two-year wait, yesterday I finally took delivery of my S650! And with that, the detailing to bring it to DFB-spec has began. The first task, Exhaust tips........................ The first detailing job on the new Mustang, addressing the exhaust tips. The S650 uses carry...

    And so, here is my YouTube on camera debut......................... Yeah, I know, that's cheating. But, at least you can see some of my words in action with this time lapse. I did the driver's side wheels before turning the camera on so that there wasn't a delay before the action started. I'm...
