Also worth noting the Matt polished that car with the PPF on it, attempting to remove swirls from it. Turns out the numpty who installed the PPF did so over jacked up paint. WHY would anyone have PPF installed WITHOUT polishing/perfecting the paint first? Anyway, I wonder if the heat generated...

I would say it has something to do with being a Paint to Sample colour. From what I understand, orders with Paint to Sample are not painted on the Porsche line with Porsche paint. I'd say the car goes through the rust proofing and primer stage and is then pulled from the line and moved...

I spotted a hint to this a few days ago on Instagram, and so the video drop today proved correct. This is something you need to consider when having PPF installed on a car you intend to keep long term. Not a pretty situation and feel quite bad for him. This is not something you hear a lot about...

In 2020 I treated myself to a new pressure washer, moving up from a well-used Karcher K2.4 to a Kranzle K1152 (K1122). Was like going from a 1990's Hyundai to the latest Porsche 911. Fantastic machine, expensive but justified considering how much I was going to use it and how much enjoyment I...

Gearing up for an oil change on the Kranzle, I decided to make a platform for it to sit on, in turn making it easier to drain the fluid into a container underneath. This was the last time I changed the oil. Considering how heavy these things are, it was a little sketchy balancing on top of...

Hmmmmm......................

Do I detect a little distaste for said man?

Ignoring the brand-sell, there are some valuable tire cleaning insights in this video. Some of this I knew, some of it provided clarification, some of it new to me. The takeaway for me was that tire browning is not removing active UV inhibitors within the rubber, but rather the removal of "dead"...

I do love a good catalog, just wish I could get a hardcopy to thumb through. Carpro Product Catalog 2026

Is it winter yet? Hell, I'd settle for a little autumnal bliss. This is day 4 of a 7-day heatwave with temps above 40-deg C (104-deg f), apparently this is the hottest place on earth at the moment. 🥵 Despite the heat, I still got out in the garage, EGO fan misting away and a Yeti bottle full...

EGO LEAF BLOWERS - OVERVIEW & WHICH ONE TO BUY This is a common question I come across online, “what blower should I buy to help dry my car”. (Take note of the word "help" in that question, which I will explain shortly). Now, the reply to this could go several ways, each having both pros and...

Washed the XR6 ready to be rotated back under cover this afternoon, XR6 in, Mustang out. Something that's impressed me over the last week has been this Optimum Power Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Now, I was probably a little harsh on this product when I first tried it, but it seems to have redeemed...

Nah, I've already hacked them off by calling white wheels tacky. :wink:

Ok, so I haven't put white wheels on the car. It's a running gag I have with a guy online. I post a pic of one of my cars and he suggests it would look better with white wheels, he posts a pic and I suggest he should consider white wheels. In this case, he went one better and photoshopped...

Decided to do white wheels....................................

Did a "sanity wash" on the XR6 today. With such dry and windy conditions, the poor thing was covered in layer of dust, which naturally shows up on such a dark colour. For today's effort, I did a bit of a hybrid wash. The wheels and tyres were treated as normal, with the tyres scrubbed using...

The world "ceramic" in products that aren't actually a proper small glass bottle of ceramic coating can cause some confusion. I don't want to flat out say that it's a marketing ploy because there are certain benefits to "ceramic" infused products. But the term "ceramic" outside of coatings just...

With the Wildtrak about to embark on a 1500 km round trip to Adelaide for the Tour Down Under, I wanted to get it back into shape before taking off. Compared to the usual maintenance wash, I spent some extra time making sure it was ready for action. To start, I popped the hood and inspected the...

Complaining about fuel economy on a V8 muscle car? 🤔 Or the lack of cup holders? Perhaps drink in the kitchen before you go for a drive, like a grown up. :wink: I have to admit, I do miss the manual transmission I had in my S550, but only when I feel like "driving", if that makes sense? The...
