  1. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    My Most Used Products The following products are the ones I gravitate toward the most. While I do like to mix and match, these are products that I know give the best performance, make the task quicker and easier, excel at the “user experience” and deliver me the end result I’m looking for. A...
  2. Washing Darkhorse hood

    Just be mindful of the vinyl edges when washing, and 100% avoid the use of tar removers as these can also remove or break down adhesive.
  3. S650 Delivery Road Trip Home

    I got roasted when I highlighted the Flow brackets, apparently, they are "overpriced and over complicated" and that two screws would do it for $1. No doubt they are overpriced if you are going to use them on a 10-year-old Camry. As others pointed out, what's another $150 on top of a car that you...

  6. Aussie Mustang Aftermarket and Detailing Suppliers

    Interesting to note that Stoner Car Care now have an official website and webstore in Australia. Australia Stoner Most will know the brand for their glass products, including the benchmark Invisible Glass. However, the brand has quite an extensive range of products, most of which were...
  7. DFB's Detailing Garage

    Mustang's turn, and for some reason, I just didn't feel like playing with foam today. However, I still wanted something more than a rinse-less to properly flush out the door jambs and address the wheels. So, I did a bit of a "hybrid" wash. Starting with the wheels, Carpro Reset went in the...
  8. Ford Australia 100 Years Celebration & Global Ranger Super Duty Reveal

    Can imagine traveling all the way to Australia, only to end up in shonky Broadmeadows? :crackup:
  9. Ford Australia 100 Years Celebration & Global Ranger Super Duty Reveal

    I might be highly critical of some of the decisions made by the company over the years, but that just means I care about the brand and their success. 100 years ago today, Ford started assembling Model T's in Australia, and 100 years later they are still here and still leading the market. Last...
  10. DFB's Detailing Garage

    Autumn, the best season for garage pottering! I couldn't take it anymore, the Ranger just HAD to be washed. And yes, there was some mud to be dealt with.................... Today's theme was using up some odd-bod products. Soap of choice was P&S Wide Open, which was used for the wheels, a...
  11. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    The thing with Chemical Guys is that they used to one of those sleeper brands that if you knew, you knew, similar to Poorboys and Ziano. This is an interesting situation because Ziano forgot to innovate and got left behind, and Poorboys still markets their products as if it's still...

    And this was "my" Bathurst moment back in April 2010. Favorite corner? Easily "The Chase", which even at the strictly controlled speed limit was immensely satisfying. To quote John Goss, "Falcon has always been a good friend for me"................"You know there's a little bit Bathurst in...
  13. This Just Got Real!

    Nine years before my time, but I get goosebumps watching that. In more recent years, Ambrose winning two championships back-to-back was epic, especially after such a long HRT dominance. Ambrose was and still is a hero to me. Then Ingall making a SBR 3-peat the following year. Brock was never...
  14. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Last year, I got swept up in the hype surrounding Bilt Hamber Trace-less, touted as THE best glass cleaner ever made. As soon as it landed locally, I jumped in with my order and was keen to try it out. But I quickly found something just wasn’t right…………………….. My assessment presented late last...

    History less again, sorry......................... We got Falcon in 1960, which was virtually identical to the US version, although we also got a Ute, Panel Van and Wagon. The Hardtop Coupe didn't arrive until 1965 with the XP model, which was also when the Australian and American Falcon...
  16. This Just Got Real!

    The sad thing is, the still beautiful cars don't sell very well. That would include the Guilia, vastly more interesting than the 3-Series or C-Class. And this mentality applied to the Jaguar XE, which is now sadly out of production. The XE was what the 3-Series used to be, as in a compact sedan...

    Good news, Armor All have a new high end "Podium Series".............................. https://armorallpodiumseries.com/en-AU It's clearly so important for Armor All to compete with Meguiar's, Turtle Wax and Mothers that they decided to emulate the same "Hybrid Ceramic" naming system. How...
  18. Looking for a decent car cover

    I no longer use one, but the key to using a California duster safely is as you have described. In 99.9% of situations, guys tend use California duster by dragging it across the paint like a brush, and that's how they have gained the reputation for jacking up paint.

    Ok, part 2........................................ That XR6 was the last evolution of the Australian Falcon. It was launched in April 2008 and was seen as a half-assed attempt compared to the new Holden Commodore, which you eventually got as the Pontiac G8. Where GM-Holden spent $1.1 Billion on...

    I'm going to have to split my response to your post, so part 1......................................... This might be controversial, but I'm not a fan of most sedans on the market today. In an attempt to garner attention in a dying segment, the design of sedans has become so ugly and over...
