  1. 2024 Mustang Australia (AU) Pricing and Timing Schedule

    I pre-ordered in September 2022. I have a VIN but no email from Ford or the Ford Performance welcome pack. I just wish I could check the VIN like we could with the S550, it would at least give me something to work with, my dealer is not very proactive. I'm at the point now where the whole...
  2. 2024 Mustang Australia (AU) Pricing and Timing Schedule

    Can ask when you placed the order or pre-order?
  3. Clean calipers with PP wheels?

    I recommend buying new wheels! :crazy: Having dealt with the S550 PP1 wheels, I ended up buying every single brush known to man trying to keep those things clean, so you have my sympathy. If Ford ever get around to building my car, the wait is nearly two years and counting, I'll soon be...
  4. Clean calipers with PP wheels?

    If you choose a wheel specific coating, they are designed and tested to be withstand very high heat ratings. I highly recommend Armour Detail Supply High Temp Wheel Coating, which I'm told was tested up to 800 degrees C / 1480 f. Armour Wheel Coating – Armour Detail Supply
  5. Recommend a DIY paint protection product?

    Both Pure EVO and Mohs EVO can be applied to pretty much all surfaces, including trim, plastics and glass. Mohs EVO is more specific with its working times compared to Pure EVO. If you are new to coatings, I would start with Pure EVO due to the longer working time and instant bond with the...

    Correct, a foam cannon can be used on any form of paint protection, as mentioned, it will be even more beneficial on a non-ceramic coated car. As for not getting stuck in the weeds, have a read of this thread, it has everything you need, without going overboard - Beginner’s Buying Guide...
  7. Opinions or knowledge of PPF and Ceramic Coatings

    There are two terminologies used here - Foam Gun - typically used to describe a low pressure/garden hose driven foamer. These produce watery "foam", basically soapy water. Certainly a workable solution, but I wouldn't call it foam. Adam's Polishes Standard Foam Gun | Best Foam Gun For Car...
  8. Opinions or knowledge of PPF and Ceramic Coatings

    I think this is where people set themself up for disappointment with foam cannons. If the car is mealy dusty, the foam/rinse/dry method can work, but anything more and you will be left wanting. There are very few products on the market that can perform a truly "touchless" foam and rinse...

    Both do a similar job, but Adam's is known to be noticeably stronger than Brake Buster. For regular washing, I would favor Brake Buster.
  10. Opinions or knowledge of PPF and Ceramic Coatings

    For ceramic coated wheels, in most cases the coating will reject brake dust and allow most of it to be removed with a pressure washer rinse. From there, all you need is soap. In my case, I use whatever soap I have mixed up for the paint and foam it onto the wheel. If you feel the need for a...
  11. Cordless Vacuum Recommendations

    I'm using a M18 Milwaukee at the moment. I only use this for quick clean ups to avoid dragging out my shop vac to deal. The only thing not included is a brush attachment, but those are freely available on Amazon. M18™ Compact Vacuum (milwaukeetool.com) Amazon.com : Horse Hair Dusting Brush...
  12. Opinions or knowledge of PPF and Ceramic Coatings

    Correct. Falcon was in the V8 Supercars for decades but was replaced by the Mustang a few years after the Falcon ceased production. Currently they are running S650's. Just listen that thing scream, I think every Ford supporter had a man-crush on Scott McLaughlin, who now races Indy...
  13. Opinions or knowledge of PPF and Ceramic Coatings

    No to the first guess, no to the second but getting closer. This is my beloved FG-X Falcon XR8. When Ford announced the closure of their Australian factories, I knew I had to have one of the last Falcon's. The car will be 10 years old this November and has only done about 7000 km (4400...

    The Obsessed Garage Drying Aid is not groundbreaking, but it works very well with minimal complication. The product itself is a catalog item called 'Slipstream' and is produced by a large chemical blending company, as such it has many different variations and is sold under different brands. Of...

    Bead Maker is a love or hate thing. It was certainly over hyped in the beginning, which led people to latch onto its negatives rather than enjoy it for what it is. Detractors point to the lack of longevity, the lack or water beads (despite the name), problems with streaking, and as you have...

    Optimum No Rinse, and other rinse-less wash products, are extremely versatile. Used correctly, they are safe and very effective. Even if you don't like rinse-less washing, a product like this can be used as a clay lube, window cleaner, drying aid, detail spray, interior cleaner, engine bay...

    I actually have both the MTM (grey) and Mosmatic (blue) short guns in rotation. I would buy either again, no questions asked! Ok, so there is a bit to unpack here, so I hope you are good for a read.................... I started with the MTM gun and wand, then changed to Mosmatic gun, wand...

    I probably shouldn't have used that word, I was more so meaning that the chair is well suited to detailing because of the height and ease at which you can reach for tools. I started with that stool as well. Overall, I found it just didn't go low enough for ergonomic wheel cleaning and...

    And that's the "cheap" model...................................... Best Garage Chair With Wheels | Robust Steel Max – Vyper Industrial I would have bought one, but they don't ship to Australia. And even then, I still think the universal one I have is better for detailing.

    My knees are shot after twenty years as a professional gardener, I constantly kneeling up and down. Then spending my down time kneeling to clean wheels meant I had to find a way to work smarter. As I said, I hated cleaning wheels because of having to kneel. But then I discovered seated wheel...
