    I noticed late last week that my original CTEK MXS 3.6 wasn't actually charging the battery it was connected to, the Mustang. I have two chargers, this and a newer MXS 5.0. I connected the new one to the Mustang and it began charging, then pulse cycling as they are designed to do rather than a...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    There are just too many legacy products that are still in production, even when new products have launched in the same category. And that's assuming there is a difference in the 15 different detail sprays, or have they just rebranded one formulation in different bottles and different names? Why...

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    I've decided to give these Tempest towels another shot. Considering they are wrapped in Concours branded packaging, I'm guessing they don't sell many of these as the Concours house brand was rebranded NV many years ago now. Koch Chemie / ColourLock recently introduced a range of...

    what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

    Same thing in Australia, THOR partnered with an existing company, but its ran as a separate entity rather than being a sold via the existing website.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I mean, pretty much every brand has a mixture of brilliant and not-so-brilliant products. I've tried some truly terrible products from the likes of Carpro and Gyeon, balanced by some brilliant class leaders elsewhere in the range. The sad thing about Meguiar's is that they should be an industry...

    RIP Hulk Hogan..

    Believe it or not, I used to watch Smackdown and RAW, back when they called it WWF and before the other WWF demanded they drop the F (Federation) for E (Entertainment). This was early 2000's, Hulk was an occasional performer by that stage. My favorite was Stone Cold Steve Austin, his character I...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    HCD has a warmer gloss and slightly slicker. Amplify is has a brighter, more sterile gloss, but is slightly easier to apply. Keep in mind I'm talking minute differences between two winning products. As a reference point, neither will approach Bead Maker for that ultra glossy and slick finish.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Put it this way, I can price out a litre of ADS Amplify at half the price of HCD in the same quantity. I like them both, but guess which I use more often.

    That thing is so underpowered that it would struggle doing even a quarter of a donut.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Just be thankful you aren't presented with the $47.99 pricing that the Australian Megs distributor asks for HCD. A quick sweep of Google shows two large auto retailers selling it for $52.99 and $54.00, while another has it on sale for $37.09. I often hear from people who don't even consider this...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Some rich guy wanted to buy the Holden name and the factories to continue manufacturing Commodores in Australia. GM refused. Instead, GM ran the name into the ground and shut it down.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Hmm, maybe I should start endorsing some of the absolute duds, rid the detailing world of some of the rubbish. Cough, Endurance Tire Gel, Cough, D180 Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.

    I often slag off where I live, known nationally as the drug capital of Australia...................but like anything, there is a flip side. A 10-minute drive from town and you are passing through the countries peak fruit growing area, and at this time of the year that means a landscape of bare...

    My time with these two has come to an end. :cry: The girl on the left, Maggie, is a couple of years older and is always the leader in pretty much everything they do together. As in, first in or out of the door, first to be fed, first to be leashed up, first to get into her bed, first to go...

    It's been bitterly cold today......................and that's just me, the weather has been pretty nippy as well. The forecast for today was to reach 12-degrees. Not even close! Even my mid-day walk failed to warm me up. 8am - 5.7 deg c / 42 f 10am - 8.2 deg c / 46 f 12pm - 8.5 deg c / 47...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Spotted one for the first time yesterday, was painted in that horrible cream/beige color that seems to be the flavor of the month at the moment. Having said that, it wouldn't matter what color its painted, it doesn't change the fact that the Tasman is hideously ugly. What were they thinking!

    If decide to touch those up, 100% go with Dr. ColorChip as that system allows you build and level the paint so that it doesn't crater or standout. https://drcolorchip.com.au/
