Did you have smoke pouring out of the hood vent like I did?

Mine has about 800 km on it and the smell is mostly gone, unless I hook into the throttle and get it nice and hot and it comes back a little. Really, the smoke and smell are worst during the first 100 - 200 km, by then its mostly burnt into the metal.

Killer spec! :clap: I was considering the same Atlas Blue with the Black Pack and Magneride.

Well, summer is making a belated appearance. In the past few summers, we haven't had long stretches of above 38-degrees, just the odd hot day followed by a cool change. However, the next 7-days doesn't look pretty, with the lowest temperature predicted being 35 on Wednesday and Saturday...

This is a subject that usually gets detailers arguing. The guys from the old school swear black and blue nothing comes close to offering the decontamination ability of a traditional clay bar. While those open to new ideas argue synthetic clay products are safer and easier to use. Both sides have...

For a traditional clay bar, it's an excellent choice, very mild and user friendly.

Meh. I love what 888 achieved with Lowndes and Wincup back when they were racing Falcon's, but I actually gave up watching the sport because of 888. The arrogance they developed racing GM products really put me off them as a team, and the sport in general.

When I did my floor back in 2021, there were like two options for that style of tile, so I went with the original Swisstrax Ribtrax. Now there are countless options that offer the same size/spec for similar or less money. Wish I had the choice back then.

Not all tire dressings/coatings play well with all tires. This can vary widely and sometimes a tire is just super sensitive to dressings, notably Michelin PS4S. With the PS4S, I've found only a couple that play well, but even then it can be patchy. From what I can tell, the ultra waxy sidewall...

What flooring tiles are you looking at? Are you set on Hex lights? I know they look amazing, and if its a pure show garage, they are fine. For working under them, they are super fatiguing and not all that good for consistent light dispersion. Just something to consider.

Ha ha, that's an understatement!!!! :giggle: For glass cleaner, keep it simple. I'd also highly suggest any Mustang Hardtop owner have the Clean & Reach Tool for the rear glass. 1st - Stoner Invisible Glass, affordable and available everywhere. 2nd - P&S True Vue, again simple and...

I also did a bit of mower detailing today in preparation of a little photo shoot. The little MasterCut 460 got a pre-soak with Bilt Hamber Surfex mixed at 1:1, the rinsed with the pressure washer. I then went back in with an old detailing brush and Surfex, agitated, rinsed again, then applied...

Just to add this, removing the Meguiar's Endurance will take a bit of effort. You will need a strong rubber and tire cleaner and an appropriate brush. However, because of how Endurance accumulates dirt and grim, it's going to make a mess of your tire brush, so I'd probably use an old brush, or...

Wash day for the Mustang! Tyres were scrubbed with Undressed, wheels and body cleaned with GSF. Following the blow off, I used Amplify on the paint, wheels, exhaust tips and door jambs. OG TD for the rubber, and a damp towel was used for the interior wipe down. As the car continues...

My favorite regular tire dressing is Obsessed Garage Tire Dressing. It can do some gloss with multiple coats, but I don't think it would be what you are looking for. If you aren't driving in rain and therefore longevity isn't an issue, the following I've found to be the glossiest water-based...

The bottles have been shipped, I think there has been a hold up on getting them to the warehouse.

I'd go the other way around. Clean the tire super well, seal it up with Ghost, you could then dress of a traditional tire dressing as needed. I really, really like OG Tire Dressing and much prefer it to Perl. That's not to say Perl is no good, I just prefer the look, application and scent of...

Despite there being so many Mustang's on the road, both S550 and S650 now, its nice to see they still turn heads. What other car under $100k can do that? I had an A/C guy here last week and he immediately noticed the car in the garage, even knew it was the S650. On Monday, I had a group of...

Armour Detail Supply Ghost 👻 I've met very few tire dressings that I didn't like, and of those, I'd say most of them were from my early days when I didn't know what I was doing. Armour Detail Supply Ghost? Well, it's another knockout ADS product! ARMOUR Detail Supply Ghost Tire Sealant...

Cutting grass for the first time in decades............................... I had two passes by today say how cool this thing is, and like a proud "grandson" (it's just too old for me to be its fatherly figure), I couldn't help but proudly agree. It's not perfect, it's go a few battle scars...
