I thought I'd make a start on the Subaru today by knocking out the interior, allowing me to do the exterior closer to the owners return. What I thought would take me an hour ended up being a 3.5-hour marathon. :facepalm:
I'll do a full write up once I've done the exterior, so for now I'll let...
Every time I see an American trying Vegemite, they always try it out of the jar, not spread across something. I think just about every Aussie would say that is THE worst way to eat Vegemite. But spread on thin or thick on a piece of bread with butter, even better if combined with a slice of...
More Touch-less action today.....................
First up, the weekly wash of the Ranger. I've been parking this car outside over the last week as I'm currently house sitting for a gardening client. With no undercover parking, I probably wasted my time washing it, but I don't care.
As per...
The Wildtrak was in the box seat this morning. It's been cold, wet and miserable of late, so I had some work ahead of me, inside and out.
Starting out, I foamed everything bar the horizontal panels with Bilt Hamber Touch-less, wheels and wheel arches included. With the roof and hood not...
All new cars, regardless of brand and price paint, have paint defects. It's just what happens when something is mass produces. And that also applies to brands such as Porche and Bentley. The reality is, vehicles coming out of Ford's American factories are abysmally bad in terms of paint quality...
Turtle Wax canned the "Pro" line because they had a problem selling these products at premium prices. For most, Turtle Wax is an entry to detailing and therefore expect a certain (low) price point. Which is sad because from those who used the new generation products, they were supposed to be...
These were taken after the Ranger sat outside overnight in the rain. Forgetting that mental trauma for second, it at least left a pretty display of bead porn to admire.
The base coating is Gyeon Pure EVO, topped with God knows what at this point. :giggle:
Actually, I washed it on...
Check out Dr. ColorChip -
Product Result – Dr Colorchip Australia
Compared to a touch up pen that you can still see the chip, this system differs in that you can flatten and level the applied paint to be smooth and virtually undetectable.
They do, for the leather sections, but you will need a specific product for the Alcantara sections.
I've covered Alcantara in the below thread, which is on steering wheels but would apply to seats as well -

Now that several of us have had their Mustang for nearly a year now, it's probably a good time for some leather care refreshment. Considering the cheapness of the materials Ford uses, keeping on top of the leather is probably a smart move.

Some bike detailing today.
This bike has been in storage for a while, so it was extremely dusty and had a fair bit of oil and grease build up on the crank, gear cassette, derailleur and chain. So, I started by spraying those areas with Bilt Hamber Sufex HD mixed at 1:1, which is quite a strong...
Post wash and ready to be covered up for a few weeks...........................
I just love the contrast between Race Red and Sensation Blue................................
In the past few weeks, I've been fueling my OCD tendencies with other interests......................and enjoying every single second of it. In addition to the actual subject matter, I'm trying to push myself to make more videos. Quite often, the process of getting the camera out makes to film a...
Love those wheels, but is it just me, but every time I read someone mention or see a post about a Herrod product, I can never find it on their website. How do they even sell anything?
Being a Ford Performance dealer, I reached out asking if they had the S650 oil catch cans. "Oh yes, we have...
