  1. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    For a split second, I thought you bought a 5L container of their "glass cleaner", but phew :whew:, I was getting mixed up with their Trace-Less Use-Less. :giggle:

  3. Automatic or Manual?

    Just stumbled across this. An interesting look at how the automatic transmission has developed over the years. The real reason automatics are quicker than manuals Know it All with Jason Cammisa Ep. 11 I still choose a manual for the overall engagement and user experience!

    Great to meet up today. :like: The most S650 Mustangs I have seen in one spot, so far! Something about moving the ATM sign before taking a photo. :facepalm:
  5. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Yes, trying to make the white "pop" is what I'm primarily aiming for. As a bonus, the hydrophobic properties make drying much easier with the EGO blower, instead of towels. I did recently get some Collinite 845 wax but haven't had the chance to use it. I have some reading up to do about that...

    Yep! Mine got a wash this arvo as well in preparation.
  7. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    I was washing the Mustang this afternoon, and I'm half way through a bottle of Bead Maker. Now, I'm in a real predicament! What will I replace it with?
  8. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    In an ideal world, your dealer will get another example of the same colour in, and a side-by-side comparison will nail it. Ask your dealer: when are they expecting another Atlas Blue GT in? So you can bring yours in, and compare.
  9. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    My only other car is the 2016 RAV4 Cruiser. It has "Liquid Bronze" metallic paint, so not sure if that would show any screw ups, more that the flat Oxford White paint on the Mustang?

    I've only seen three other S650s since September. Somebody else can organise the next one. I'm away with work a lot, but late March/first half of April would suit me around my known work schedule. Saturday or Sunday, morning or arvo, even mid-week, any time is fine with me.
  11. Tyre recommendations for S650 Mustang GT

    This Youtuber knows his tyres. You can ignore the Primacy 4+, but this gives a good comparison of the PS4S vs PS5, which as D mentions, the PS5 is not an upgrade to the PS4S. And this video, although dated, compares the PS4 vs the PS4S..
  12. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    I've never owned, or used a polisher. There's something about them that scares me! The cordless DIY Detail polisher with mid-mounted battery revealed during SEMA 24 did catch my attention though. The mid-mounted battery to help balance the weight seemed like a brilliant idea. But I've never...
  13. Everyday driving configuration

    That's an issue at the moment. FORScan is Russian software. With the war, their Russian payment channel was frozen and no longer accepts payment to register the software. You can register a 2-month trial for free, but I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. You need to register the software...
  14. Everyday driving configuration

    This! I wish the SVT cluster had a gear indicator. In the early days I found myself too easily shifting into the wrong gear (both going up or down). ie; 1st to 4th, instead on 2nd... 4th to 1st, instead of 3rd. :facepalm: Aside from cosmetics, it was an unexpected bonus that a weighted shift...
  15. Everyday driving configuration

    This is exactly what I do. Favourites button toggles to quiet mode. Once I'm away from my own local streets I toggle the exhaust back to what ever drive mode. I did set up a custom drive mode, but tend to just switch to sport mode via the steering wheel switches these days. It's a shame...

    Agreed. Inadequate base coat. :frown:

    We'll do some more Rod. Mike's suggestion of Harrigans at Jacobs Well or Siromet at Mt Cotton should get a run, and that will be down towards your way.
  18. My Mustang Journey

    Come to think of it.... I've been getting exhaust pops with my GT when down shifting into 2nd in sports mode as well. I've done 2,000km and that probably started 1,700 ish. After reading about Frostees EPA drama , I don't want some frivolous BS complaint made to the EPA against me. Can do...
  19. Aussie S650 Paint protection and detailing thread

    Glad you finally have your car, Steve. We have the same bucket set! And I must admit, even though Bowden's isn't given much credit, I do like their Big Green Sucker towel. I can get around the RAV4 (more surface area than the Mustang) including all glass, without wringing it out at all. I...
  20. Australia - 24C35 S650 Recall and Service Action Lookup

    Not including the one and only official notification from Ford Aust months ago, I haven't had any communication from my dealer or Ford Aust about pending updates or any timeline since. Took delivery 10-Oct-2024.
