I usually get in trouble for saying it, but this is why you should NOT use all-purpose-cleaner on interiors................ The above are chemical burns caused by using Meguiar's D101 on a Toyota Corolla. Piecing things together, it would seem the product was not diluted properly, as in...

100%. I'm a neurotic when it comes to comparing just about anything in life, the same applies to reviewing insurance policies. What I've found with the insurance industry, there is often no rhyme or reason for policy premiums. Sometimes they come back and you go wow, that's not bad at all...

Same here. I noticed the massive increase in premiums after the 2022 floods in my area....................despite my place of residence not being in a flood zone. With Enthusiast, they will allow you to nominate a milage cap, the major insurance companies don't really account for that, so you...

I've had this go both ways. In the past, I used a broker for my work vehicle, which was also tied up with my business insurance. Having them sort both out was very much a connivence. Brokers know the connivence factor and very much rely on you being too busy or lazy to compare things for...

I noticed the same. Have a look at Enthusiast Car Insurance. They are basically the "new" Shannon's, as in realistic prices for low km / specialty vehicles. No doubt they will end up jacking the prices like Shannon's did, but for the moment, I've found them reasonable. M - Custom Car...

I need to try Eulex M and TEA in this role as well. I've also heard TarX being used like this too.

Koch Chemie Eulex - Last week I found a new use for a product I've had in my arsenal for a while now, Koch Chemie Eulex. Eulex is a powerful solvent, generally used for heavy duty tar and adhesive removal. It has a high evaporation rate, can be quite heady to use in confined spaces, and needs...

Impromptu drive..............

I've been on another soap binge of late, this time Optimum's new Touchless Decon Wash. https://detailingshed.com.au/collections/newest-products/products/optimum-touchless-decontamination-car-wash?variant=48098473115863 Decontamination or stripping soaps are almost always alkaline in nature...

Volvo XC60 B6 – Full Reset Detail It’s been a while since I’ve had this car in the garage, which also means a while since its been washed……………………. I’m the only one allowed to touch this vehicle. Brand new in 2023, my sister had it coated with Carpro Cquartz Professional shortly after delivery...

Just don't do partial panels, ie half the hood, half the quartet panel. Over time that edge will become pronounced and very obvious. Also, the paint will fade a different rate, so if/when you need to replace/remove it, you have a very defined appearance difference. Always do full panels if not...

Another last-minute order from Detailing Shed - The order included some new interior towels, which I selectively rotate out of service as needed. I wanted another gallon of Amplify, but they were sold out and had to make do with the small bottle. The little Pressol bottle will be used for...

Another 40+ degree C day, another Ranger. Annoyingly, it's just rained, undoing my work and meaning tomorrow will humid. I hate summer! Nothing special on this one, it just HAD to be done. But it did give me a proper chance to see how these new Pressol Pro Series sprayers perform. I've used...

The Ranger has been earning its keep over the last week. The first job was spread across two days, a garden clean-up for a neighbour. This included two full loads of green waste going to the tip, most of it from several Cocas Palm's (hideous things, never plant them!). The second job being my...

Ouch! I helped someone buy a Big Boi WashR Duo last week, guy could have save himself $180.

19-inch R-Spec wheels.

Having a play with editing...................

Mustang's turn at the moment................

A little re-stock from Detailing Shed before the Christmas closures. The notable inclusion here being that spray bottle, the new Pressol Pro-Series. I've been using v1 Pressol sprayers for a while now. From an aesthetic point of view, I love how I can fill them with a multitude of different...

First wash post detail, which is always super satisfying in how easily everything comes together. Don't let the Brake Buster bottle fool you, that's Griot's Wheel-Tire-Mat Cleaner. This product has a mild scent to mask that acrid chemical aroma of most rubber cleaners such as Brake Buster, Wise...
