Despite feeling off colour today, I forced myself to go outside and make the most of the lovely late winter sunshine. The plan was to wash the XR6 before swapping places with the Mustang and it cover going on.
The wheels were given a quick once over with OG Decon Soap, the tyres scrubbed with...
Contrary to what most think, you don't have to totally remove every last molecule of that coating before reapplication. Some also think you need to blast the paint with heavy compounding and even wet sanding, but those making claims like that have no idea what they are talking about.
The thing...
One of the key reasons why I like Koch Chemie Pol Star is how it lathers up under agitation. This lather helps display where you've been and gives a visual impression that you are actually achieving something. To be fair, most interior cleaners do this, but Pol Star differs in that it's pH...
Apparently I'm an "OG-spec bro...................a genius idea................."
From 33-min mark regarding the drying of the car with Eraser after the decon wash........................
Last week, Sean from Waxit asked if I would be willing to try out a few of the latest Koch Chemie products that have recently been released. Is the Pope catholic? Of course I would!
All but the Perfect Finish Sealant were used today on the Ranger.
After cleaning the wheels and tyres, the...
Sean from Waxit has kindly sent me four new Koch Chemie products to evaluate.
The FFU is an unfortunate abbreviation for "Fruity Fusion" interior scent. Not the first and probably not the last product to get labeled like that, the German-English translation doesn't always play out well with...
I've known about the FEYNLAB brand for a quite a while now. However, because they are heavily focused on ceramic coatings, I never really looked into the brand other than to see what they offer. What I didn't realize until now was how FEYNLAB were a pioneer in the ceramic coating industry...
A fellow Autogeek member has been raving about this product for a while now, so I thought I'd better see what the fuss is about.......................

I noticed late last week that my original CTEK MXS 3.6 wasn't actually charging the battery it was connected to, the Mustang. I have two chargers, this and a newer MXS 5.0. I connected the new one to the Mustang and it began charging, then pulse cycling as they are designed to do rather than a...
I've decided to give these Tempest towels another shot. Considering they are wrapped in Concours branded packaging, I'm guessing Waxit don't sell many of these as the Concours house brand was rebranded NV many years ago now...
Thanks for the video, I actually needed to watch this to double check my installation was correct regarding the BMS. Turns out my older CTEK 3.6 is not working as it should and hasn't been charging properly. Swapped it to the newer MXS 5.0 and I'm back in business.
I'm probably scared from...
Subaru Forrester Refresh
This vehicle is owned by one of my gardening clients. I’ve detailed this car many times, but it's been quite a while since I’ve touched it. I’m currently house sitting for them, so I thought I’d treat the Subaru to a refresh. With 108,000 km on the clock, there is some...
For anyone looking for a good drying towel that isn't from The Rag Company, these Tempest towels from Waxit are a great option, and on sale at the moment too. At full retail, the full size 65 x 40cm Tempest is lineball in price to a similar size Gauntlet (hybrid twist loop), while being about...
That's pretty much all I do too, although I use a dedicated towel and little waterless wash, but that's not really needed. Keeping an engine bay clean is easier than actually having to CLEAN an engine bay.
