I know he is somewhat love or hate personality, but the below website is a great starting point when specing a pressure washer for car washing. Just remember the prices there are for high end accessories that take a basic pressure washer and tailor to the job at hand. If you are happy to piece...
1900 psi is on the higher side but will be fine. However............................
A couple of points to consider -
- For car washing, you want flow not necessarily pressure. It's the flow that does the work, helping to rinse quicker.
- Ideally, you want the pressure rating anywhere...
Supervisors name is Faych, which is a play on words from when I was a toddler. Before my sister arrived, I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel called Hafey. As a toddler, I couldn't pronounce Hafey, so I called him Faychie.
The personality traits between the two dogs meant a family member...
After the cleaning session, I brought the Jaguar back in for a rinse-less wash. Today, I wanted to indulge in the addictive mango scent of Opti-Coat No-Rinse......................

On boxing day 2021, I installed Swisstrax in my garage. Prior to this, I absolutely hated how the floor was ALWAYS dirty, often within minutes of cleaning it. And because of my detailing focus, I was frequently standing in puddles of water as I worked. And peeling paint never looks good. :doh...
What a complete waste of time and resources for all involved.
What annoys me most is how motorbikes get away with this, but not cars. Every single Harley I've ever heard is waaaay louder than any muscle car. I just don't get it.
I really hope Ford Australia remain the lead engineering hub for Ranger, there has been talk in the past of America taking it back. Thing is, you can see and feel a common theme between the Ranger and the Aussie designed, engineered and built Territory. If you have ever driven a Ranger...
To kick things off, here is a recent detail.
Sanity detailing today, the XR8 was next in line. Tires were cleaned with Shine Supply Wise Guy, wheels and body washed with Carpro Reset. After drying, I went over the tires with Tarminator to give them a reset, then dressed with ADS Tire+.
But...
Now that I am on the cusp of S650 ownership, I felt now was the time to create this thread. I've had something similar on Mustang6g, which I plan on keeping active despite moving to the latest generation Mustang. That thread on M6g was originally created as reference guide to the products that I...
They are from Ford Performance and called the HP Performance wheels and only offered in satin black. Ford used the same design on the S550 PP2, EcoBoost HP and Mach 1. However, the PP2 versions were gloss graphite in colour and had aggressive 10.5 and 11.0-inch widths, the HP and Mach 1 used a...
I'd probably change them to black, but it's not as noticeable as it is for black wheels.
If you are unsure, chose one wheel and block them out with a black marker. If you like it, order some black lugs. If not, than a little IPA or MT will return them to silver.
Those two-piece standard...
Your process is sound, but if you want, the bolded parts are where I would make some alterations.
Correct, a high pH soap would be very worthwhile here. However, I would add a step prior to even wetting the car. Because of the time these cars sit in the open before shipping and delivery, I...
They did this on the S550 as well....................................
When I swapped wheels, I re-used the factory lugs. Then everyone told me I HAD to swap them to black, which I finally caved to. It's amazing how effective such a small change made to the overall look, the chrome was...
Well, with how it all played out, I didn't officially get to order those options with all the cards on the table. As in, I didn't know how much each option was going to cost me, so it was a somewhat blind order based off the request for desired specs that happened way back in Jan-Feb 2023. Would...
I was actually cross shopping an M2, Supra and used Jaguar F-Type against a new S650. The BMW 3.0T engines might be fast, but I just know I would have lost interest in them, and that's coming from an inline-6 fan boy.
Speed isn't everything, and I don't think anyone driving a V8 Mustang is...
Depends on the dealer. Mine told me that they stopped sending them early after a few cancelled Raptor orders, they didn't take the car but they got a free jacket and bag out of it.
I would rather a chrome pony as well, but I'm not going to complain, I could aways change it in the future. First thing to go will be the chrome lugs though.
I was at breaking point and made the call two weeks ago to start my leave, with or without the car. My week starts on a Wednesday, so it...
