In the box seat today, the mighty XR8! A question I've been asked a few times over the years, how do I clean the intricate grills on a modern vehicle? Front end designs have only gotten more and more complex over the years, to the point where they can be a nightmare to clean properly. I'd say...

Koch Chemie Insect & Dirt Remover Koch Chemie Insect & Dirt Remover is a ready-to-use product for the safe and effective removal of bugs and baked on road film. Designed to penetrate and break down contamination, it can used on all exterior surfaces. With a pH of about 10.5, it's certainly got...

Because of the dry and windy conditions this summer, it doesn't take long for the cars to be covered in film of dust. Throw a light shower into the mix, which happed to the Ranger while I was cleaning the Mustang last week, well the car was looking filthy. Today, I decided on an Ethos theme...

I get it, I actually wish I'd waxed the S650 instead of coating it. The only area I'd insist on coating would be the wheels, it makes cleaning so much quicker and easier.

For this post, I'm covering two alkaline-leaning soaps within the Koch Chemie lineup. One is simply stunning, one is somewhat underwhelming. Koch Chemie Auto Shampoo AS I tried Auto Shampoo a few years ago when the brilliant GSF had been out of stock for several months. My thinking was, if...

Something like that. It also means I have some extra room in the cabinets. :wink:

More product testing today, mainly to compare and verify. Test Subject - The Wildtrak Like last time, I decided to use Koch Chemie Active Foam, again used to clean the wheels and tyres. The ADS Ghost is doing very well on these tyres, they stay cleaner and are easier to clean, the Active Foam...

The funny thing is, ANCAP don't test the safety of a 7-seat SUV's third row seats, but they do test a two-door sports car rear seats.

Now that we no longer make cars, ANCAP is redundant. And yet, its still being funded. This is the thing, car companies design cars to pass the tests. S550 Mustang excelled in the NHTSA tests because that's what Ford designed it to do. A truly global vehicle would have been designed to pass ALL...

I remember when that ANCAP 2-star rating blew up in the media because after (only) a years wait, my car arrived at the dealer that same week. At the time, the Mustang was in very high demand, every car that came into the country was already sold, no floor stock. Very different to now where...

From the man who condemned the Mustang back when it arrived in 2015/2016, something along the lines of "I'll never drive another Mustang.................."

Thanks. For a moment there I thought I had screwed up that post, but realized you had abbreviated it. A couple of weeks ago I had a troll tell me I wasn't a good writer, all because he read something I wrote the wrong way. He then put 1+1 together and got 11 instead of 2, then embarked on...

Well shopped! That is my favorite coating! Review/application instructions - Armour Detail Supply Wheel Coating Review | 2015+ S550 Mustang Forum (GT, EcoBoost, GT350, GT500, Bullitt, Mach 1) - Mustang6G.com

For "leather", I'm very particular here because you really aren't dealing with traditional "leather" here. If you are up for a read and a full explanation, check out this thread - (2) Cleaning and Protecting Automotive Leather | 2015+ S550 Mustang Forum (GT, EcoBoost, GT350, GT500, Bullitt...

Koch Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner MWC I'm not a big wheel cleaner user, mainly because I find them unnecessary for well maintained and coated wheels. My go to for wheel cleaning is a slug of soap into my wheel bucket, then whatever shampoo I have chosen on the day and applied with my foam cannon...

Glad you got it sorted. For tire dressing applicators, I've been using brushes recently. In particular, the Detail Factory Curveball and Screwball, but they are very expensive for this role. The Maxshine knockoffs are just as good. For low profile tyres, go with the mixed bristle version and...

Gave the Mustang it's weekly wash this morning, followed by fitting its new cover. 2023-2025 Ford Mustang Coupe GT + aerial 2 mirrors (no wing) Purfit In – purfitcovers.com I've had this for a while but delayed using it as the S550 version also fits S650. I'm not using the S550 version of...

Koch Chemie Panel Preparation Spray PPS A few years ago, I tested a variety of IPA-based panel-prep sprays back to back. Products like Carpro Eraser and Gyeon Prep were my benchmarks, so I was interested to test some of the other options on the market, Koch Chemie PPS was included. The funny...

This was the post I made on this subject back in November............................... Battery & CTEK Pig Tail Installation ## For anyone new to modern Mustang's, take the following post as a PSA ## I'm sure many will remember this, but late into my ownership of the S550, I had a little...
