DFB's OVER & UNDER 2026 The following is list 5 overrated and 5 underrated detailing products on the market in 2026. Depending on how you see it, this could also be a do and don't buy list, or just a jaded detailer having a rant. I'll leave that up to you. OVERRATTED – Bilt Hamber...

That would work, or grab a pump action sprayer to hose the car down with. Will take you a while though. The idea is to knock off the dust before you go rubbing on the paint. Note that you don't technically have to pre-rinse the car first, its just something I like to do to give me confidence...

BISSELL STEAM SHOT 2635M Over the years, there have been several situations where I’ve thought a steam cleaner would have been useful for a particular task. I’d then go looking at highly capable industry benchmark models from Dupray and McCulloch, you know, bigger is better. But then I’d bring...

Wow, I did not know that! I guess that's where all those scratches came from.

These are water-spots, which are caused as water rapidly evaporates and leaves behind mineral deposit. Prevention is far better than the cure, otherwise you need to act quickly as the longer these minerals are left, the more likely they will etch into the finish (paint, glass and vinyl)...

While I waited for the Ranger to be ready, the XR8 got a wash. My favourite wheels to clean! Simple design, plenty of room for brushes. In this case, they were cleaned with Active Foam, tyres with Brake Buster. Some Hydr02 followed, then Atom Mac for the rotors. For today's wash. I decided...

I joined the nursery industry in the early 2000's, just as the Bunning's model began to take off. The company I worked for was a small family business that had been operating since the mid-1980's. And here was this multinational arriving in town to sell product they had no knowledge behind. Now...

If (when) things get worse, my concern will be getting diesel to move from job site to job site, and getting 91-ron unleaded to power my tools. I'm lucky in that I don't need to travel big distances for work, so a tank of diesel will last me nearly two months. And I'm not running kids all over...

Four Koch Chemie solvents that all do basically the same thing, but at varying degrees of aggression. Fleckenwasser (FW) – An organic based solvent for safe removal of greasy substances including oil, tar and waxes, even paint and ink residue. Teerwasche A (TEA) – Well done if you...

Well, I caved to fuel anxiety situation like the rest of the population, both Mustang and XR8 have a full tank of 98-ron. I don’t normally fill the tank on these cars, always $50 worth when required. Because they sit around so much, I’d rather have fresh fuel more often than have a full tank go...

On this occasion, the car wasn't too dirty, and I just felt like going rinse-less to mix things up. Olly turns 16-weeks old tomorrow, he's grown so quickly in the 8-weeks he's been with us. He is my world at the moment, very much full on but also a comforting presence. On the ride - From...

With rainy days and a big mowing run this week, combined with puppy carrying duties, the Ranger was genuinely dirty and in need of a wash. The tyres were cleaned with Optimum Power Wheel & Tire Clean, finishing the bottle of this excellent product. The wheels were cleaned with KCx Active Foam...

Stocking up on the lovely Koch Chemie GSF. https://www.waxit.com.au/collections/koch-chemie/products/koch-chemie-gentle-snow-foam-ph-neutral-cleaning-foam?variant=42059435704409 So, a few things to mention with GSF - - Don't buy this soap if your primary requirement is ultimate cleaning...

PRESSOL STAINLESS SPRAY TIPS - One of the early problems with these Pressol spray heads was the failure of the plastic spray tips. The reason why they had such a high failure rate, well I say it was mixture of poor atomization and user error. These tips had a narrow window of adjustment, the...

PRESSOL PARTY! Considering the previous posts this week, it was only natural to go full Pressol for today's detail. First up, tyre cleaning with P&S Undressed. After cleaning the wheels with Brake Buster, Hydes Rust Inhibitor went on the front brake rotors. Both Undressed and Hydes came from...

PRESSOL PRO-SERIES SQUEEZE BOTTLES These are another Obsessed Garage visionary, Matt wanting the soaps from multiple brands in matching bottles. In this case, the solution was to create a squeezable version of the Pro-Series spray bottles. These new items are only available in the 750ml size...

I think there is some overestimation going on in this thread as to the protective ability of a spray and wipe product, be that a wax, polymer sealant or Si02 spray sealant. That's not to say those product's aren't good or enjoyable to use, but they aren't offering much, if any, protecting of...
