Today marks one year since Miss. S650 arrived at the dealer, more than two years after I had ordered the car. This was my first sighting of it, a graining text message. I remember exactly what I was doing, in the bank starting to make arrangements to pay for the thing. Less the five minutes...

Forgive me for the lengthy post, but the flooring was a long time coming and such a transformative in terms of how I enjoy using the space. It's not for everyone, but I couldn't be happier with it. The flooring is Swisstrax Ribtrax Pro, which is an interlocking plastic tile. Expensive? I'm...

While some glass coatings are better than others, all coatings in general degrade with contact over time. I also really depends on how you use and manage the wipers. For those running the car as a daily driver and leave the wipers in the automatic mode, a coating will be toast in no time. If for...

I had planned to wash the Jaaaaag last Saturday but ended up having to work, better late than never I guess. The stars of the show today.................................... Tyres - Shine Supply Wise Guy, NV Onyx Wheels - P&S Brake Buster, Carpro Hydr02, Bead Maker Rotors - Bilt Hamber Atom...

Ceramic coating glass is a waste of time in my opinion, especially the front windshield as the wiper blades abrade to coating in short order. Yes, you get some insane water behavior that reduces the need for wipers, but you can get the same thing by using something like Glass Clean & Protect or...

Welcome to my world. The kits are great because they take you a long way without getting you into trouble. Another way compound to consider when approaching paint correction for the first time would be something like Carpro Essence, which is basically Reflect with a Si02 compound within it...

I also recommend that every Mustang Fastback owner should a Reach & Clean Tool as well. These are vital for doing the inside of the rear windshield, allowing you to get right down to the very base of the glass. Amazon.com: Invisible Glass 95160 Reach & Clean Glass Windshield Cleaner Tool Kit...

I've tried many different towels, but my favourite is the TRC Dry Me A River in 16x24 size. I find these to be far less grabby than special dedicated glass towels, and extremely durable as well. The key for any glass towel is a low and dense pile, this limits linting and improves the finish. The...

Glass Cleaning With Rinse-less Wash One of the key attributes of a rinse-less wash concentrate is their versatility. I was late to the rinse-less wash party, mainly because I just didn’t understand and therefore trust this type of washing. Over time I have become more comfortable with this...

Finally got back into some detailing today. I've been focused elsewhere recently, and had a very busy mowing run this week, so it was nice to roll out the buckets and pressure washer hose today. With the erratic spring weather of late, I've had to delay attending to the Wildtrak several times...

Unfortunately, its just part of the deal with black or dark coloured cars. However, no matter the colour, even with careful washing technique you do risk causing swirls each and every time the car is touched (washed). The key is to minimise it where possible - - Use high quality soaps - Use...

I came from the FM S550 camp, so yes, a significantly new vehicle for me, and my first car purchase in 7 years. If you are worrying about resale on a Mustang, you probably should be looking at hybrid Toyota instead.

Cold start's are my favourite part, that initial bluuuuurt is so addictive. I remote start purely to get the full hit!

I've been having some fun with product and tool photography lately, made much easier with a LED ring light. I'm told that this makes me a real influencer now, but I disagree, you'll never see me in front of the camera wearing skintight Lycra, pouted lips, a botoxed face with makeup troweled on...

Finally got a chance to wash the Ranger today. I didn't bother washing it last week as it had to sit outside in the weather while I house sat again, then a busy week of gardening and detailing, it just had to wait! Because I'd spilled some 2-stroke fuel and diluted weed killer in the tray, I...

Toyota Landcruiser 200-Series Detail I seem to be the Landcruiser 200-Series expert of late. This example with 160,000 km on the clock came to me as a referral, and well, he got his monies worth today! Upon retrieval, the car looked deceptively tidy. However, on closer inspection I knew this...

I note that the Black Pack has become available again, which was discontinued about October/November last year. Originally, the Black Pack included the Darkhorse black headlights, however these became standard across all Mustang's in about Feb-Mar this year. Of course, Ford Australia's...

Having a little play with the camera, lighting and backdrop to feature four of my favorite brushes. From left to right - Detail Factory Ultra Soft - I use this grey brush for wheel nuts and brake calipers. Detail Factory Boar Hair - Used for general interior and exterior cleaning. Detail...
