Air Compressor Oil Change I was given this Kincrome air compressor about 10-years ago. These units were specific to the Australian market, going on sale in 2011 via a partnership with the Italian manufacturer FIAC. Mine is the 2.5 HP 50-litre unit with a twin piston cast iron cylinder, but they...

I'm not an expert in this area, mainly because I've never needed to look into it. Despite the town I live in being a drug infested dump, our water supply is considered the best in the country. From what I can tell, household filtration is different to the deionizer treatment systems used for...

DFB’s 2025 Pressure Washer Picks With so many to pressure washers to choose from on the market, the following are the units I would buy if in the market right now! These have been chosen for their flow rates, quality and simplicity. As mentioned earlier, they are also easily upgraded. The...

Pressure Washers 2025 I have covered this topic in the past but since then, both new machines and more affordable accessories have come to market, in turn giving consumers more choice. I think we are now seeing manufacturers acknowledge the detailing sector by producing specific pressure...

The XR6 clocked 32 this morning.................after nearly 17-years on the road. :giggle: That's 32,000 km, 19,884 miles.

These areas are tedious to deal with. The go-to would be an APC teamed with a firmer boars hair brush, but quite often the stains will remain. This then points to mineral deposits, which is quite common as these areas are harder to dry properly with a towel, so as the water evaporates it leaves...

I had someone question the pH of this product moving from 4.0 to 8.0 under dilution. My initial research came across the following video, hone in on the 4-min mark - Neat - pH 4.0 256:1 - pH 8.0 I have since measured this myself using 256:1 and neat - Neat - pH 4.7 256:1 - pH 7.47 One...

Ha ha, not quite. :wink:

Koch Chemie Rapid Rinse-less Wash RRW Over the last 12 – 18months, it seems as if a new rinse-less wash hits the market every week! Where once it was a choice between Optimum No Rinse, McKee’s N-914 or Carpro ECH20, just about every brand is going down this path. And so, now Koch Chemie have a...

Yesterday I went on a day trip to Mitchelton Winery for my sister's birthday. I don't drink, so I wasn't there to sample the wares other than lunch at The Muse restaurant. https://www.mitchelton.com.au/pages/muse-restaurant Having been there a number of times in recent years, what interests...

Three additional soaps to add to the mix.......................... P&S Wide Open – I have to say, P&S make some great products, but soaps are not their specialty. Pearl is mediocre, Frostbite doesn’t have the cleaning power they claim, and while there is some charm to Inspiration Radiance, it...

Today, I followed through with a promise I made way back in September last year. My friend and favorite customer has had a ride in the XR8 back when I took delivery in 2014, as well as my previous Mustang in 2017, so it was a mere formality that he would get the same flame-thrower ride in the...

You posted that message at 1.20am Australian time, was VERY much asleep at that time. :wink:

Wash day for the XR8 (again), which was to be rotated back under cover and swapping places with the Mustang. I'm slowly getting more and more comfortable using AMMO Hydrate, which seems to be playing very well with Wolfgang DGPS. AMMO Hydrate Paint Moisturizer – AMMONYC AU AMMO Hydrate...

I have two wash processes, both use a single bucket. (Important to note, I have one bucket for wheels, so you could say that I do use the two-bucket method?) Both of these methods are AFTER cleaning the wheels. Garage Queens / Mild dust & road film - 1. Thoroughly rinse the whole car 2. Foam...

This is where I was going with that question. Going back a number of years, I went and bought several buckets with matching grit guards because I was led to believe that if you aren't using the two-bucket method, you are not washing safely. I went on to start using the 2BM, because that's what...

Mine were from Prime Finish, called the Buckanizer, which were the OG for this idea - Buy Detailing Outlaws Products Online | Prime Finish Car Care Don't buy them though, you can get the knockoffs for a third of the price - Economax Bucket Organiser Clear – Waxit Car Care MAXSHINE Detailing...

Ok guys, this time it's me who has a question to ask. For those who use a pressure washer and foam cannon when cleaning your car, do you use the 2-bucket method? As in, using one bucket with soap and water, and one with only water. Dunk the mitt into the wash solution, clean a section, then...

I can't believe I'm going to defend Ford here, but it's a similar story with other brands as well. My old boss ordered a Mazda CX-5 and got no information or contact from the dealer or Mazda during the several months he waited for the vehicle. The only time anyone contacted him was when it...

Koch Chemie All-round Quick Shine, Quick & Shine, Quick Finish and Finish Spray Exterior Koch Chemie offers four different quick detailers in their current lineup, of which it’s hard to know what the difference between them is. From the product descriptions, they all sound identical, but...
