For a car guy, and a detailer in particular, the first wash of a new car is a very important bonding moment. For me, it's the moment where I begin to understand "how" to wash the car. The S550 was my favorite car to wash, the expansive panels and all of those taut lines were strangely...

So after more than a two-year wait, yesterday I finally took delivery of my S650! And with that, the detailing to bring it to DFB-spec has began. The first task, Exhaust tips........................ The first detailing job on the new Mustang, addressing the exhaust tips. The S650 uses carry...

And so, here is my YouTube on camera debut......................... Yeah, I know, that's cheating. But, at least you can see some of my words in action with this time lapse. I did the driver's side wheels before turning the camera on so that there wasn't a delay before the action started. I'm...

The First Wash! For a car guy, and a detailer in particular, the first wash of a new car is a very important bonding moment. For me, it's the moment where I begin to understand "how" to wash the car. The S550 was my favorite car to wash, the expansive panels and all of those taut lines were...

Exhausting Work! The first detailing job on the new Mustang, addressing the exhaust tips. The S650 uses carry over mufflers and exhaust tips from S550, so the pipes themselves are not sleeved with a chrome finisher. I actually quite like the crisp look they bring, even if it means they will...

Ummm, well................................ Not sure I should text him or not, maybe I went too far?

Thanks so much. :blush: Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot. :blush: I feel like we have been through this together, I wish yours was here right now too. Hopefully not too much longer for you.

I've been asking the same question for years now, the brand is highly regarded, maybe they just don't want to bother with exports.

They are supplied in the boot. I recommend grabbing it and throwing it in the bin before delivery.

Bloody hell, one day late! 😂

Ok, so I'm nearly done. I have to say, it's been a full-on day and I'm about to crash. I have yet to scrutinize the paint, but a few areas have stood out needing attention, so I have some work ahead of me getting to the level I'm happy with. Put it this way, the car I left at the dealer...

The First Mod! Yeah, yeah, I know, this isn't really a modification, rather making the best of a necessity. Number plates on Mustang's seems to be a complicated topic, no other car I have experienced has had so much thought put into the tin plates screwed to the front and rear bumpers. For...

The First Drive! Not for the first time, I drove a Race Red Mustang out of that delivery bay. Compared to the first time, this drive was somewhat familiar. I remember being absolutely terrified driving out of the dealership and onto a busy highway. The ultra-low driving position and that...

The Spec! Up until this point, I just realized that I haven't outlined my chosen spec for this car. Model wise, I briefly entertained the idea of aiming for the top and ordering a Darkhorse. Thing is, I had a strong hunch that Ford were going to ask in excess of $100,000 for them, which many...

Delivery Day! My nerves were fine until last night, I started to get that heart flutter of anticipation and butterflies in my stomach. There is no reason for such a reaction, just something I have always had when I’m either dreading or anticipating something. I also didn’t get off to sleep as I...

Project S650 – 771 days in the making! This all started in early September 2022 with Ford unveiling the new 7th Generation Mustang. At the time, I had been a Mustang owner since March 2017, in that time nothing else on the market really interested enough to buy something in the meantime. The...

Auto-Store Soaps In the past, the availability of car washing soaps was somewhat limited. You would either go your local automotive store, grab something from the supermarket, or raided the kitchen for some dish-washing liquid. Believe it or not, I have done all three in the past. These...

Not really, they are just re-selling parts that have been on sale in the US for more than two years now.

I have to say, the aftermarket has been very slow getting started with S650. I guess they have been holding off until cars have started to arrive. In the meantime, they miss out on sales from those who would like to buy parts in advance. Strange.

It's been a very slow start to spring this year. By now, I would normally be well into a fortnightly routine keeping grass under control. But the grass just isn't growing, a few warm days is then followed by a few cold days. Up, down, up, down.............................I mention this because I...
