    Same. In theory, the iron remover is the pH neutral part of the equation.

    Decon wash? Help a newbie

    Quite often, the term "decon wash" will refer to a high or low pH soap used to break down contamination and older sealants and waxes. But I tend to use "decon" to describe a more involved process approaching the task from multiple angles, using both mechanical (clay) and chemical steps. All of...

    DFB's Garage

    The only "woody" that we had here was the Falcon Country Squire Wagon, which Ford offered on the XL, XM and XP models. It wasn't very popular. I absolutely love the round taillights from this era, so pretty. At the time, Ford were throwing a lot of ideas at the wall for Australia...

    Cordless Polishers 2025

    I personally use the Rupes iBrid, but its overpriced and has fallen behind a slew of newer competition. After briefly using it last year, and hearing nothing but positive feedback from a mate, I would be looking at the ShineMate EB210. Think of this as a new and improved Flex PXE-80. In that...
