I wish I had access to a dealer like that. Being in a rural area, my dealer pretty much only sells and services Ranger's, a few Everest's, and some more Ranger's. A Mustang is like some sort of exotic hand-built unicorn that bamboozles the service staff. Serious question, did you have the oil...

How many diesel Ford Ranger's get their exhaust tip polished? After cleaning with soapy water from my wheel bucket, which was Megs Hyper Wash today, it was time for an old favorite, P21S Polishing Soap..................................... Get P21S Metal Polishing Soap Online | Waxit – Waxit...

My sisters XC60 was in the box seat, and for today, I decided to put together a video during the wash phase. The video kicks with a rinse after cleaning the wheels and foaming the car down with KCx Active Foam. I then foam with KCx GSF for the contact wash, then the final rinse. After...

Not sure if it's just me, but this car seems to have really woken up after clearing the 1000 km mark (Yes, I know, it's taken me 7-months to do about 1200 km) Full disclosure, I haven't been babying the engine, it been run in quite firmly. However, it now feels so much stronger and really...

Atlas Blue was my second choice, you have me doubting my decision now! :clap:

DFB’s Detailing Tips, Tricks & Shortcuts The following tips I have written about many times, but quite often they are buried amongst countless separate posts. Most of these I have learnt from watching others, while some are my own discoveries. In any case, these tips can help streamline your...

Ranger Wildtrak Detail 2025 – Part 2 With the “hard” work done yesterday, today was about getting the coating applied. Pre-Coating Prep - According to Carpro, you can coat straight over Essence without using a panel prep. This was done to help prevent marring on really soft paint. Having...

Has anyone used a Bluetooth battery condition monitor. These connect to the battery terminals and alert you via your phone when the battery charge is down. I have a client who swears by them, which he has installed on a Landcruiser which is only occasionally driven. SCA 12V Wireless Battery...

Ranger Wildtrak Detail 2025 The Wildtrak was last polished and coated in January 2023, the Can Coat EVO performed beyond expectations, easily lasting about 15-months. For a coating “lite” with a 12-month durability claim, and considering the car is parked outdoors 24/7, you really can’t ask for...

The Mustang has been on "daily" duty this week, so it was next in line for attention today. And what a nice day to be outside, and on a Saturday too! I worked every Saturday and Sunday for the better part of 10-years, having the choice to enjoy the weekend is new luxury for me. There was...

Something I've noticed over the last couple of chilly mornings, upon starting the car, it will automatically turn on the heated steering wheel and seats. Actually, over summer I found the opposite, instead firing up the seat ventilation. It would appear this happens when remotely starting the...

On its routine wash today, I made a start on decontaminating the Wildtrak in preparation for polishing and coating next week. This wasn't planned, but I thought I may as well get a head start, in turn getting me to the polishing step quicker. My starting point today was thick layer of dust...

They should rename themselves Greasy Sausages 'R Us or DSRS (Disgusting Sausages R Us). Below is a post I wrote elsewhere regarding the Bunning's effect, which will undoubtably apply to car care in the long run too...

So, Bunnings (think Home Depot for US readers) have joined the car care and automotive sector. I noticed a few Meguiar's products creeping onto the shelves earlier this year, but they now have an entire isle dedicated to automotive, with several shelves of that on car care. This will undoubtably...

Happy Mustang Day to you!! :party:

Oh, trust me, I agree with that. I wish they had called the Mach E the Galaxy instead of Mustang. If they do a RWD sedan again, I don't want it called Mustang. At the risk of offending a certain group of Aussies, they should 100% call it Falcon. That would be a rather touching nod to the...

The following websites I've come across that are offering more Ford/Ford Performance accessories than Ford themselves - The Mancave Garage - In addition to the usual tchotchkes, they sell Ford/FP service parts and accessories. I got my Ford Performance catch cans from them as Herrod is on...

I would start by cleaning with a pure dedicated leather cleaner, not one of those combination cleaner/protectors. Use it with a towel or interior brush, wipe dry and inspect. However, I have a feeling this might be a similar issue to the opening post, as in abrasion of the color itself. In...
