I get what you are saying, but why wouldn't they charge for a yearly maintenance wash/inspection? Unless the vehicle owner is able or willing to do that themselves, you pay for that service. Realistically, to do that "coating inspection", they would need to at least wash the car, feel for...

I would recommend reconsidering the wheels. If I could only choose just one place on a car to have ceramic coated, it would be the wheels as they are subjected to the most contamination on the car. Spending a little more now will reward you for years to come. Especially on white wheels!

I took this image to accompany an article I wrote the other day. Every different towel here serves a separate role. As the old Castrol GTX ad said, "oil's aint oils", well, microfiber aint microfiber...............

For anyone wanting to try out Pressol sprayers but find the price a little rich, Detailing Shed currently have Pressol on sale. Pressol of Germany | Detailing Shed Important to note that this applies to the v1 "Household" and v1 "Industrial" versions rather than the latest Pro-Series...

Liquid Elements are the real deal. If you look at Matt's site, his go-to 5-inch polisher is an LE now, not a Rupes, Milwaukee, Flex. That's saying something! I think for US in Australia, ShineMate is still the best option for mid tier machines, they actually outperform the Flex and Rupes for 2...

Got it in one!

I recently read a post regarding 303 Protectant as a tyre dressing, something I've tried before but a very long time ago. So, today I thought I'd revisit it after Ranger's weekly wash. 303 don't market this product as a tyre dressing. Instead, they market it as an enhancement and UV protectant...

Also, just note there is some risk to PPF. If this will be a long-term vehicle, chances are you'll need to replace the PPF down the track (say 7 to 10 years). As such, there is a very real possibility that removal can take paint away with it. Not always the case, but something to be aware of. A...

The key advice I would give here would be to never do partial panels, say half the hood or quarter panel. Over time, that edge will become very obvious, and you also have the paint aging different rates.

Pretty cheeky of Ford to now offer the Darkhorse again, even though it was termed a "special edition" for Australia. For the record, they are offering the standard Darkhorse as well as the 888 version.

Going back to 2019, I bought four new buckets from Waxit. These were sold with either standard grit guards or the Dirt Lock type. Well, I bought two of each because I couldn't decide which one to get. The concept of the Dirt Lock grit guards is they better trap dirt at the bottom of the...

As planned, I got a few hours of bliss in the garage today. The first job, applying the ADS Clean label to its own Pressol bottle, then mixing up a batch to use on the Wildtrak. Clean is a citrus-based All-Purpose Cleaner. Most APC's on the market are heavily alkaline, but Clean is pH...

Another order from Detailing Shed. The order was mostly for the microfiber towels. I've decided to move from Creature Edgeless to Eagle Edgeless for my "good" interior towels. The difference here isn't massive, where the Creature has a long and short nap, the Eagle is long nap each side. I...

Microfiber purge! These towels and wash mitts have been taking up space in my cabinets for too long. Some of them were set aside for trashed vehicles, I'm not sacrificing my good stuff for use on someone's hacked up car. Some were sidelined because they didn't suit my preferences and therefore...

I've never been into science fiction..............except for Space:1999. As a kid in the late 90's and early 2000's, I would sit up late at night on the weekends to catch re-runs on Nick at Nite. Typically, the whole house would be in bed, and I'd be sitting there on the edge of my seat. Don't...

Apparently I screwed up posting the above "review". Someone suggested it comes across a paid advertisement, and that my DFB username correlates with Detail Factory. So, here it is................... DISCLAIMER - This is not a paid or sponsored review. All of the tools shown in the opening image...
