ADR's, the now redundant set of standards that also sits alongside the Luxury Car Tax and ANCAP in being completely useless and no longer appropriate considering the government killed our car industry, but still benefits from it by keeping these three in action.

Oh I get it, Ford wouldn't be interested in doing it. What annoys me is that Australia is one of the largest export markets for Mustang, but the UK actually gets more choice in terms of trim and options than we do.

I know Ford are having no problem selling every single Mustang they land in Australia, but I kinda wish they would do an entry level Mustang GT for those who don't want all the bells and whistles and just want a V8 at a lower price. In other words, no Premium Package or Performance Package, no...

So happy for you, a well-deserved prize at the end of a long ride. Still waiting for mine to arrive at the dealer, was docked late last week.

Any of the rinse-less wash products mixed at the waterless wash rate will do the job. I use ONR for this role myself, either at the quick detailer or waterless wash dilution ratio. Just make sure you use plenty of product and flip your towel often.

Looking good! Also, love the Atlas Blue and Space Gray combination. How do you like Pneu? I recently got some to try and have been liking it. Delivers a deep, dark look.

Touch screens, along with gloss black trims, are areas of a car interior that will always be in some state of dirtiness. Like death and taxes, a touch screen will nearly always have fingerprints on it. The best thing we can do is manage this issue with regular attention using a couple of key...

He had it honking!

Three additional soaps to add to the shoot-out - Armour Detail Supply Shampoo+ - Having just gone on sale in Australia, Armour Detail Supply has hit the ground running with a range of products that have garnered plenty of praise. With that in mind, I was keen to try Shampoo+. The focus here...

I have Tint-a-Car Octane on my XR6, very happy with it. Brand new, no tint...................................... Octane tint........................................ I once had a customer at the nursery who would come in regularly, a lovely older lady who was always dressed...

This one got my hackles up.................... Spent the better part of 21-minutes complaining about a lack of rear seat legroom, the hard ride, that it's not a practical daily commuter, that the exhaust is too loud, that it's too heavy, the lack of fuel economy..................all...

Those products will be gone as soon as the pads contact the rotor, heat and abrasion will see to that. So no, there is no issue in regard to brake performance.

I thought everyone did that?

Sadly, TRC have announced they are discontinuing the Platinum Pluffle. Stock up while you can.

Please please please don't pay for the dealer to do this. Some do this just fine, but most don't. At the end of the day, offering exterior and interior protection products and packages is about generating more income for the dealer, achieved by extremely high markups. While exterior ceramic...

Speaking from experience, don't waste your money and time applying this product. I used the Autoglym version of this product and it was basically useless, it didn't even make the water bead. These might come in an aerosol for "easy" application, but you still have to buff them, which will be...

We have! When I started detailing in the early 2000's, I thought I had hit the jackpot when I was given a Meguiar's "Soft Buff" Synthetic Chamois. I ended up with a few of them, which I would wash out religiously after to use to keep them clean. I used this for longer than I care to admit to...

Reset is extremely concentrated, Carpro suggest up to a 500:1 dilution is achievable. Pardon my conversion here, I function on milliliters and liters. 1oz = 30ml 5 gal = 19 liters In a foam cannon, Reset will foam down to 60 - 80ml in 940 - 920ml of water, but I usually do about 100ml to...

Why Dawn is NOT a good idea! Using dishwashing detergent to "strip" or remove wax has been a pet hate of mine for a long time. Those that do use it, usually do so along the lines of "I don't need to buy some fancy soap to strip wax when I can just use some cheap dish washing detergent". This...

WASH AND WAX SERIES I’ve never really been a fan of these soap. In my earlier years, a product like this would have been quite useful in topping up my Mothers California Gold Carnauba Wax I was using at the time. But, in recent times, more durable forms of protection have, in theory, made...
