Tool Cleaning Day……………………………… Surprise, surprise, I like clean tools. Considering my line of work, that isn’t always possible, so it ends up being an occasional attempt. It doesn’t help when someone returns a borrowed tool in dirty condition……………………😡 Kranzle K1152 – This was actually on the...

Don't rule out the dedicated car dryers either. These are VERY effective, more so than a leaf blower because they concentrate the output to more effectively "drive" water beads off the surface. They are also heated (which is nice in winter for both car and user) and are filtered. The drawback is...

Try and test a 530 in store before you buy, if you can't, let me know and I'll take a video of what I'm talking about with the throttle lag. I personally find the throttle lag on the 530 I bought for my dad very annoying, but you may find it ok. In reality, you are running the unit at full...

Bilt Hamber Trace-less – Is it really traceless? This product has been an exercise in frustration for me. As I watched and read about how good this glass cleaner is, I was naturally excited to try Trace-less once it hit the Australian market. As soon as it landed in stores, I ignored my own...

Your other option would be a dedicated car drying blower. I have one, but have rarely used it since I went down the EGO path.

I would absolutely avoid the 530, not only is it too lean, it doesn't have a variable throttle, which means the throttle is just switch. The problem is, there is a massive delay in squeezing the "throttle" and the unit powering up. And that gets old. I actually found this out after buying one...

For those that have or are looking to use a leaf blower to assist in the drying process, Waxit have recently added the Stubby Nozzle Co. to their store, which were previously only available through Etsy in Australia. STUBBY Nozzle Co. – Waxit Car Care These are 3D-printed replacement...

You would think and hope so at that price point. Sadly, I've seen brand new Bentley's that needed extensive paint correction post manufacture. So yeah, it's not just the mass produced brands that suffer from poor paint application or condition.

Gave the ProCut a well-deserved wash today! Bilt Hamber Touch-less at 1.5% PIR. This was foamed on and left to soak for 5 minutes, which allows the product to penetrate and break down the dirt for easy removal via the pressure washer. Touch-less is fantastic for this sort of thing because you...

A day off today, and after a week of grey sky's, it was nice to be out in the sunshine. The Ranger was filthy after a damp mowing run this week, so it was first in line for treatment. Wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned using foamed Brake Buster. In the foam cannon today, Shine Supply Shift...

If you take it to the dealer for the oil change, I wouldn't bother supplying the oil as they will use Castrol Magnetec Professional. Otherwise, don't rule out Penrite - ENVIRO+ GF-S 5W-30 (FULL SYN) | Penrite Oil If you are doing it yourself, this website is good for OE Ford service parts...

I wrote that article :like:

Before, during and after many, many, many hours getting it to my spec.

This is Race Red with Collinite 845 wax, which has been on the market for decades, even modern waxes struggle to match it. No editing in those photos either. A very experienced and well-respected detailer once described why car companies still make cars with orange peel despite the...

Not a product I have used, but could be worth trying, especially considering a bottle is only $12.95.

The divide between Ford and Holden supporters has narrowed significantly since the factories closed. I think what we are left with is a general appreciation of one another, and that the war is over and both sides lost. In Australia at least, Mustang brought many newcomers to Ford showrooms, and...

What wheels do you have on the car?

When I was at the age, I was car crazy. My Dad wasn't and still isn't interested in cars, to him they are simply a consumer devise to from A to B. The family car was always something boring, always the base model. A 1990 Magna wagon, manual, white...............the cheapest he could find. A base...

Ranger Wiper Trim Restoration Nothing ages a car more than faded black plastic trim. While certain areas are easy to deal with, say the wing mirrors or bumper inserts, others are harder to do properly. As such, these areas tend to get neglected and therefore show age sooner. Sitting at the top...
