Autumn, the best season for garage pottering! I couldn't take it anymore, the Ranger just HAD to be washed. And yes, there was some mud to be dealt with.................... Today's theme was using up some odd-bod products. Soap of choice was P&S Wide Open, which was used for the wheels, a...

The thing with Chemical Guys is that they used to one of those sleeper brands that if you knew, you knew, similar to Poorboys and Ziano. This is an interesting situation because Ziano forgot to innovate and got left behind, and Poorboys still markets their products as if it's still...

And this was "my" Bathurst moment back in April 2010. Favorite corner? Easily "The Chase", which even at the strictly controlled speed limit was immensely satisfying. To quote John Goss, "Falcon has always been a good friend for me"................"You know there's a little bit Bathurst in...

Nine years before my time, but I get goosebumps watching that. In more recent years, Ambrose winning two championships back-to-back was epic, especially after such a long HRT dominance. Ambrose was and still is a hero to me. Then Ingall making a SBR 3-peat the following year. Brock was never...

Last year, I got swept up in the hype surrounding Bilt Hamber Trace-less, touted as THE best glass cleaner ever made. As soon as it landed locally, I jumped in with my order and was keen to try it out. But I quickly found something just wasn’t right…………………….. My assessment presented late last...

History less again, sorry......................... We got Falcon in 1960, which was virtually identical to the US version, although we also got a Ute, Panel Van and Wagon. The Hardtop Coupe didn't arrive until 1965 with the XP model, which was also when the Australian and American Falcon...

The sad thing is, the still beautiful cars don't sell very well. That would include the Guilia, vastly more interesting than the 3-Series or C-Class. And this mentality applied to the Jaguar XE, which is now sadly out of production. The XE was what the 3-Series used to be, as in a compact sedan...

Good news, Armor All have a new high end "Podium Series".............................. https://armorallpodiumseries.com/en-AU It's clearly so important for Armor All to compete with Meguiar's, Turtle Wax and Mothers that they decided to emulate the same "Hybrid Ceramic" naming system. How...

I no longer use one, but the key to using a California duster safely is as you have described. In 99.9% of situations, guys tend use California duster by dragging it across the paint like a brush, and that's how they have gained the reputation for jacking up paint.

Ok, part 2........................................ That XR6 was the last evolution of the Australian Falcon. It was launched in April 2008 and was seen as a half-assed attempt compared to the new Holden Commodore, which you eventually got as the Pontiac G8. Where GM-Holden spent $1.1 Billion on...

I'm going to have to split my response to your post, so part 1......................................... This might be controversial, but I'm not a fan of most sedans on the market today. In an attempt to garner attention in a dying segment, the design of sedans has become so ugly and over...

I've been driving the XR6 as my "daily" over the last two weeks. She will be 17 years old this May and barely ran in with just over 32,000 km on the clock. With the Blue Rocket washed and covered, its the Mustang's turn now............................................

I've always used CoverCraft, they have several options depending on price, material and intended use. Ford use CoverCraft to make the "factory"/genuine accessory covers for them. 2024 Ford Mustang Car Covers - Covercraft And for those wondering, that same S550 cover also fits my...

Over time, yes. Just use the right socket and be careful and you will be fine though. I've had those on/of four times and they still look great.

As others have stated, all Mustang's for Australia have the chrome jacket lug nuts. I swapped out the two-piece chrome jacket OE nuts for black solid metal lugs. Just a word of caution when selecting replacement lug nuts for these cars. I'm usually an OEM parts type of guy, but this is...

Well done on choosing a color with so much character! I'd love to get my hands on that color, it would positively glow after I'd be done with it. I got into an argument with a guy when Molten Magenta was unveiled last year, he seemed to have insecurity issues regarding colors and...

Despite having the saw set up out in the driveway yesterday, the Falcon got showered with a layer of sawdust. In hindsight, I probably should have moved it out of the garage, but then I wouldn't have had something to do today! :wink: Soap of choice today was NV Snow. Snow | pH-Neutral...

Optimum / Opti-Coat Glass Clean & Protect From experience, the fancier the glass cleaner, the worse it performs. I’ve learnt this the hard way, buying glass cleaners that claim to be the best on the market, but end up leaving behind unsightly haze and streaks. OPT Glass Clean & Protect is the...

You know how I mentioned avoiding the clear plastic type? Well, I couldn't help be amused by this post - Useful tip for the cheap clear foam cannons | Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum ".......................I only paid $16 and the thing works great. IMO there’s no need to pay $90 or...

I'm only in a Mustang (and other Ford's) because of the Falcon. The very first car I drove was a 1992 EB II Falcon GLi Wagon, in 2004 I got my drivers licensee in 2003 BA Falcon sedan, my first car was a 2001 AU III Fairmont sedan. I grew up lusting over high performance Tickford and FPV...
