The Bowden's is what I used before Rags to Riches, its a great product. R2R is superior, mainly because it seems to better revive and maintain towel softness, but the Bowden's is by no means a poor choice. Would this be an option? P&S Rags to Riches - Premium Microfibre Towel Detergent –...

Ok, so I went for a little drive today and wow, Magneride paid for itself today! Previous to today, my assessment of Magneride centered around how much it improves the ride quality in normal driving conditions. Sure, its still got an edge to it, but its much more refined than what I'm used to...

It's perfect for maintenance. In which case, I'd probably break out the Wet Coat every few months to help maintain the barrels and calipers, unless you want to remove the wheels that is.

I wish someone around here offered PPF, country living. As for maintaining PPF, apart from a few precautions, you just treat it like paint. In other words, a pH neutral soap of your choice, then dry with your choice of air/towel/drying aid. As for precautions, you just have to be careful...

My wheels are coated with ADS Wheel Coating and I use Amplify after each wash to wipe down the wheel faces. So it can be used on wheels, either as a topper or as a standalone. Just don't expect longevity as a standalone. If you are not going to coat the wheels, I'd suggest Gyeon Wet Coat as...

I know just the place.

I absolutely love the sound of these cars! It would appear GT's are speed limited to 250 kph.

Bringing Race Red back to the top.

I can lend you one if you need. Actually, scratch that, never ever lend a chainsaw, ask me how I know. :facepalm:

It would take someone very uneducated or a hard task master to void a coating warranty from using high quality detailing products. They can't be serious about using a different towel, had to laugh at that. :facepalm: I'm not sure of the exact details, but it's been suggested Gyeon and Carpro...

Finished dinner tonight and felt the need for some fizz, so went for a drive for the hell of it. I'm starting to fall for this car, hard!

Heart & Soul! There are a few prerequisites for me to like a car. Those would include exterior styling, exterior colour, the transmission type and, crucially, the engine and how it sounds. Ever since I helped my dad rebuild the engine on the lawn mower, I’ve been obsessed with engines, how they...

The bulk of my purchases are made via Detailing Shed and Waxit, between the two, they have me covered for just about everything. Detailing Shed in particular, I love the huge variety of products and brands, as well as not being afraid to introduce new items to keep things fresh. The exception...

Came here to post the same! Full disclosure, I have a small connection to DS, a relationship built over many years, again I was one of their very first customers. As I have learnt more and more of the business story, the more and more I respect what they have achieved. Nick started the...

No. Brake Buster is great because it can clean both wheels AND tyres. It's an alkaline based cleaner that also contains corrosion inhibitors. It also foams really well. For tyres, never dilute it. For wheels, I use it undiluted in a foam cannon, or you can dilute to 10:1 in a pump foamer or...

Finally getting to wash cars again! Washing the Ranger was the last thing I did before heading to the doctor, then being sent to hospital on November 6th. And even then, I didn't get to finish the job. It was then lent to my father to move a two-piece sofa, so it was covered in bugs and...

I just dropped $350 at Waxit! I use this sale as an opportunity to restock on bulk products, especially Carpro and NV brands. If you haven't tried Carpro Reset before due to the premium price, now is the time to discover its brilliance. It's also a good time to stock up on iron remover, which...

At one point, I was importing the wheel coating directly from Armour in the US, but then Detailing Shed picked up the Aussie distribution for the brand. The coatings came initially, but the rest of the range followed a few months later. After everything I had read to that point, I took a punt on...

Drying Aids The basic concept of a drying aid is to provide lubrication while towel drying, while also boosting gloss and slickness. You can use a drying aid on a fully wet vehicle, or after using some form of blower to remove the bulk of the water first. In simple terms, there are two basic...

This is consistent with spray sealants being used as drying aids. Some would say that perhaps we have taken things too far with drying aids, as in using quite substantial spray sealants when a simple quick detailer would serve the same role, but without the potential of overloading on...
