And while we are on polishing, I came across these while shopping in Repco this afternoon....................... Meguiar's are on crack if they think a singular foam polishing pad is worth $40 each. Who is buying these at this price? For context, let's look at a few alternative...

Reflecting on Carpro Reflect Reflect is what Carpro terms a “rapidly-diminishing nano abrasive” finishing polish. Producing an ultra-high gloss finish and famed for its ease of use, Reflect is without question one of my favourite polishing products. Unlike some final step polishes, Reflect...

I would have thought red or green would have been more seasonally appropriate than black? 2024 Ford Mustang GT Christmas Ornament | THE MANCAVE GARAGE

After few big days on the tools, it was nice to get some tinker time in the garage today. In the box seat, the Ranger.................... The weather has been so unpredictable this spring. When I last washed the Ranger on Saturday, the temperature reached 31-degrees (88f), about right for this...

This is why I like Solution Finish!

With Hydr02 Foam, if you've mixed up a 1-litre solution for your foam cannon, you'll only use a 250 - 300ml of that per vehicle. So, either mix up in small quantities, or as I do, mix up 1-litre using demineralized water and store it in a separate container. The demineralized water is important...

I wish I was being paid by a manufacturer or retailer, that way I'd get some return on the amount of money I pump into buying and trying products, not to mention the time it takes put together these posts (several hours at least). You are correct about the treatment applied to automotive...

Carpro FingerPrint Wheel Cleaning Mitt For those who have been here for a while, you'll remember the lengths I went to in attempting to clean the gloss black Performance Pack wheels on my first Mustang. This was a process of trial and error that involved multiple tool and technique changes over...

A commission? I'll settle for trade discount. Check this video out when you get a chance. We don't get S0.03 yet, but Protector Wax and CES are available via Waxit.

Gotcha. Hydr02 Foam has probably the most pronounced before and after of this type of soap, but it doesn't really foam. I guess it depends on what you want from it, for me the claim of "foam" has me expecting foam and not just watery soap. So, if all you want to do is "foam" then rinse, this...

I'll have to let you know on the Carpro Finger Print. I've been using the TRC Ultra Wool Mitt as well, perfectly sized. As you say, they tend to shed over time. I also have their Ultra Wheel Mitt, which the microfiber version, but its a little too big. What they need to do is make it the same...

A very fast turnaround from the guys at Waxit! For this year's Waxit Black Friday sale, I went a little berserk! In defence, I had been holding off ordering some of this until the sale kicked off. - Carpro Reset is a high use soap for me. At $134.95, it's always expensive in 4-litre...

Now that they use a carpet material, enhancing the wheel arch liners becomes hard. On plastic liners, you could dress them like a tyre, or even apply a ceramic coating. On carpet liners, I really don't have a recommendation for this other than making sure you flush them out with a pressure...

I've always wonder how effective a product can be when labeled as "cleans and restores/protects". Probably fine if the surface isn't too far gone, but you'd find it wanting if you needed cleaning power or full restorative ability. In this case, you'll probably need a restorative product like...

Brother from another mother...........................

Wash day for the Wildtrak! It's been a few weeks since I've got my hands on this vehicle, so it was covered in road grime after a string of wet days. And it was perfect detailing weather today, not too hot, not too cold, no wind. With the music on, the very definition of bliss. To start with...

As per previous years, Waxit have launched their Black Friday sale early. I may or may not have run riot taking advantage of the sale to restock bulk quantity products. :wink: A few shopping notes - - Please avoid the Mirch brand. I tried several products from this brand a few years ago...

Interesting to hear that the Darkhorse may return to Australia in 2026.

Never understood the appeal of the GT2 RS, the "lesser" GT3 RS is more entertaining and has a much nicer engine.

I went with the same kit. I like that it blends into the background and looks factory....................which is because its an OEM Ford part. The aftermarket type standout and look cheap. As for the price, yeah, it's pricey. However, the kit includes two catch cans and the associated hoses...
