Ooops, you just opened the can of worms....................

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Kylie's album Fever, and therefore 25-years of Can't Get You out of My Head".

To say that album is personally significant would be an understatement. When it was released in October 2001, I was two months away from turning 15-years old, an extremely impressionable age. For whatever reason, the sound of that album and the accompanying music videos resonated. It's basically the soundtrack of my youth and an album I have played just about every day since it came out. Everyone will have that one album that stands above all else, well Fever is mine. It was also her most successful album until 2023's Tension and Padam Padam.

My favourite from the Fever album is Love At First Sight, and my all-time favourite song, it just makes me happy.


The audience here is a flashback to early 2000's fashion and hair styles :ROFLMAO: -


This was the official music video for the song you linked. Most males only watched it for what Kylie was (wasn't) wearing -


And her iconic Brits performance in 2002 was a mashup with New Order's 1983 song Blue Monday, How does it feel.................. -


I bet you wish you didn't open that can worms. :ROFLMAO:
 
What's your earliest memory of hearing one of her songs, because you wouldn't have been even 1 year old when her first single came out in 1987, if I've done my maths correctly.

It was the previous album called 'Light Years from 2000. Specifically, 'On a Night Like This' and probably her most famous video clip of all, 'Spinning Around' with those gold hot pants she bought for $1.00. I didn't discover her back catalog until a few years later, but even then, I'm not crazy about here first album.


 
Made a return to DIY Detail for the Ranger's wash this week. In particular, the v1 Rinse-less Wash, Ceramic Gloss and Interior Clean & Protect.



The DIY brand is a tale of two halves for me. Of the products I've tried, most of them were really good. In particular, the Rinse-less and Ceramic Gloss combination works so well together, Incredible Suds has insanely good foaming and free rinsing properties, and the interior product finishes out beautifully. But then the public faces of the brand and their inclusion within the THOR group are off putting. The thing is, the products are good, but not so good that I can overlook the silly cult-like behavior of the wider THOR family. And there are plenty of great brands that don't play that game.

I'm in the same boat Deyon! They're available at The Bays Wheeling, so if I need something from them right away it's easy, especially Envie, I'm on my 2nd bottle. As you know, Envie replaced Ceramic Gloss and I have no issues with that! It's not because I didn't like CG, I did, but Envie is THAT much better

Interior Clean and Protect is awesome on my Alcantara, a product I'll always have as long as they keep making it

Please stay away from Yum Cars as well, something just isn't right about that guy.
 
I took this image to accompany an article I wrote the other day. Every different towel here serves a separate role. As the old Castrol GTX ad said, "oil's aint oils", well, microfiber aint microfiber...............

 
What is it about the DIY rinseless that sets it above and apart from the multitude of other rinseless washes on the market?

It's good, but I wouldn't say it sits above any of the others. I said the same when everyone was swooning over N-914.

Well thats what i was thinking when i asked the question. Very few rinseless washes exibit significant differences. Think i have seven rinseless washes. Feynlab and Optimum Hyper foam stand a cut above as cleaners. Idrosave leaves some protection ( polymer based) when used in drying aid ratio but that is a minor thing and may be not what many want, however that protection comes at a very reasonable $$.
Aside from that they are pretty much the same. Folks rave about Hero. I havent tried it but it is almost twice the cost of ONR or Absolute which are good washes. I dont mind paying more for a product but it should give something extra for that cost.

My apologies, I actually made a typo in that comment, since fixed.

It should have read like this -

So, in my opinion DIY Rinse-less wash is good, but not better than others with similar chemistry.
