  1. Official RACE RED Mustang S650 Thread

    On Tuesday, I finally took delivery of my S650. After such a long, drawn out process, I can safely say that it was worth the wait. My new car had an older sidling keeping it company. I also got the opportunity to have my old S550 and new S650 side by side. The S550 sat in same position...

    I'm probably spamming the internet with my car at the moment, but I've been waiting to show it off for two years, so sue me! :giggle: When Ford unveiled the S650, I have to say the rear end did not grab me. Strangely, I now absolutely love the rear styling. At the front, those brooding...

    I did note that Shield is not recommended for artificial leather and vinyl, but I have not had adverse effects from using like that. Thing is, ColourLock would love you to buy their Artificial Leather Cleaner and Artificial Leather Protector in addition to the equivalent for real leather. And...
  4. This Just Got Real!

    As was obvious, the two year wait for this car tested my patience, especially between year one and year two! As the wait grew longer and longer, I had people telling me that they would never wait so long for a car. Many times I considered cancelling my order and buying something else. If the...

    Inner Workings! Most detailers hate doing interiors! And trust me, I can totally get that. Dealing with neglected interiors is time consuming and tedious, compounded by being cramped up within a confined space. My worst nightmare? Dealing with the cheap and nasty carpet the Japanese and Korean...

    The dye they use in the wool tends to leach over time, turning them grey. Some do this more than others, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the product. I have both the Ultra Wheel Mitt and Ultra Wool Mitt, I like both for different reasons. The microfiber Ultra Wheel Mitt is...

    The below video is my first appearance in front of the camera, the idea to put my words into action. Please know, I don't do YouTube to make money from, I couldn't care less about that. But I'm doing to try something new, and to bring my written and stills content into motion. I say this because...

    For a car guy, and a detailer in particular, the first wash of a new car is a very important bonding moment. For me, it's the moment where I begin to understand "how" to wash the car. The S550 was my favorite car to wash, the expansive panels and all of those taut lines were strangely...

    So after more than a two-year wait, yesterday I finally took delivery of my S650! And with that, the detailing to bring it to DFB-spec has began. The first task, Exhaust tips........................ The first detailing job on the new Mustang, addressing the exhaust tips. The S650 uses carry...

    And so, here is my YouTube on camera debut......................... Yeah, I know, that's cheating. But, at least you can see some of my words in action with this time lapse. I did the driver's side wheels before turning the camera on so that there wasn't a delay before the action started. I'm...

    Exhausting Work! The first detailing job on the new Mustang, addressing the exhaust tips. The S650 uses carry over mufflers and exhaust tips from S550, so the pipes themselves are not sleeved with a chrome finisher. I actually quite like the crisp look they bring, even if it means they will...

    Ummm, well................................ Not sure I should text him or not, maybe I went too far?
  16. This Just Got Real!

    Thanks so much. :blush: Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot. :blush: I feel like we have been through this together, I wish yours was here right now too. Hopefully not too much longer for you.
  17. What's In ALM's Garage?

    I've been asking the same question for years now, the brand is highly regarded, maybe they just don't want to bother with exports.
  18. Aussie Number Plate Holders/Frames

    They are supplied in the boot. I recommend grabbing it and throwing it in the bin before delivery.

    Bloody hell, one day late! 😂
  20. This Just Got Real!

    Ok, so I'm nearly done. I have to say, it's been a full-on day and I'm about to crash. I have yet to scrutinize the paint, but a few areas have stood out needing attention, so I have some work ahead of me getting to the level I'm happy with. Put it this way, the car I left at the dealer...
