I'd use a glass cleaner or something like ONR at 256:1. From what I have seen, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of Bilt Hamber Trace-less, which is like a next level glass cleaner that WILL NOT STREAK, at all!
Bilt Hamber Trace-Less Super Wetting Glass Cleaner - Detailing Shed
P&S True Vue...
Reset and Lift would be a great combo.
I like Reload, but don't rule out Armour Detail Supply Amplify (more of a competitor to Carpro EliXir and can be used more often) or Armour Detail Supply Ceramic Spray Sealant (Reload competitor), both are easier to use than EliXir and Reload.
AMPLIFY -...
The below is a screenshot from one of the leading detail suppliers in Australia.
For a company of that caliber to be using the term "chamois", the only explanation I can arrive at is they are simply using that word to capture those who have yet to discover modern methods of drying your car...
Australian Media drives have coming through now -
While he might be a bit dry, there is no ego on show here. I love his videos, plenty of time just showing what the car sounds like without mindless drivel.
Be VERY careful going that route, the ATAK is waaaaaay nosier than you will expect. Even the Touring will land you on the wrong side of the law. I have the Touring and is great because you can fly under the radar when needed, or raise hell when the mood takes you there. The Atak is just always...
The Concept -
During the 25 years I've been cleaning cars, I've tried more soaps than I should probably admit to. Over that time, I've found a number of soaps that have surprised and delighted. Naturally, I've also discovering plenty of duds along the way. In no way am I suggesting that this...
Keep in mind if you decided to start using a blower, you may still need a towel to finish off, hence the inclusion of a smaller "drying aid towel".
I have a Big Boi BlowR Pro with the twin motors. Because of the narrowed outlet, it's extremely effective at "driving" the water off the car...
Microfiber 101 with DFB
One of the biggest advancements in the detailing world over the last 10 to 15 years has been the massive increase in the towels we use to clean our cars. With so many microfiber towels on the market from a variety of different brands, it can be hard to know what to buy...
I decided that I would like one of these as well. But the shipping kills that idea.
For those interested, shipping on a $50 decal will set you back at least $135.00! :facepalm:
Just keep in mind that there are multiple ways power figures are calculated, including SAE, DIN or ECE.
From memory, DIN numbers tend to be more conservative as they include the fitment of standard exhaust, charging and cooling systems. Ford Australia uses DIN.
These are some qoutes after some...
Mustang Motorsport dropped the below video today. Interesting to see we also get two new gauge cluster themes, a 60's style and the 99' Cobra style with white dial faces.
It produced 320 rwkw on the dyno.
OMG, that is simply stunning!
Race Red seems to be overlooked on Darkhorse, the black out treatments are much more prominent on Race Red than the plethora of dark colours doing the rounds.
I have not, but I'm planning on testing it out on my father's Ranger which is parked outdoors 24/7.
What draws me to the ADS coatings is the slickness, often missing from ceramic coatings. To get around that, you typically have to apply a secondary layer product, for example Gtechniq Crystal...
Perhaps they brought it forward to fill long standing orders before switching to the updated specs. Or is that concept a little too advanced for Ford's decision makers?
With my S550 and now S650, I have never really put so much thought into number plates. The main reason is that crease line that means a number plate is always going to look wrong if it's been done slap happy.
I have the angled spacer, seeing those pics, it should account for the central crease.
Question I have though, how do I approach this subject with the dealer. Do I insist that I'm present to install the plates? Do I ask them to not install the plates? Do I just leave it with them to sort it...
