You're still ahead of me, but I'm catching you. Only 650km for me.

I totally agree. I also use Brake Buster on mildly dirty engine bays. Just foam the engine bay using a foam cannon just like you would for wheels. Agitate with a brush and rinse. Follow up on the wet engine bay with a light mist of Hyper dressing and leave to let it dry on its own for an like...

That's awesome that it won't delay delivery 👍

That sucks mate. Will they let you take delivery and keep driving it until the other one arrives? I guess it depends on how badly the current one is damaged. Is it still usable?

No problems at all. The cover fits like a glove. I actually just ordered a second cover for another car of ours.

I see the guys from MightyCarMods are busy playing with an XR8. I suspect you'll cringe a bit at their detailing skills. :cwl:

Yeah its a bit of a science. I'll need to go and talk to an expert in the field and see what they recommend.

I'm still thinking of getting the BigBoi water filtration unit at some point. I've measured my water and its pretty hard. I have around 400PPM water. Unfortunately this also means I'll go through resin quite quickly. One thing I was wondering about is if putting a whole house filter and softener...

Some shots taken today in East Perth. Man I love this thing...

Wow man. Good on you for trying everything in your power to protect your car. Thoughts and prayers from the opposite side of the country. Look after yourself as well. Cars can be replaced at the end of the day.

I think your method is perfectly fine. I guess the question is have you ever noticed any swirls or scratches on your vehicles that was introduced by washing? If not, well your method is safe and working for you and your cars. I also ALWAYS do wheels first. I have a wheel bucket but I dont fill...

I have to clarify. My cars are never very dirty. At most a couple of weeks of garage dust. What I'm doing currently is: * On a dry car I foam with my pre-wash soap. Currently using Gyeon Foam, but will sometimes be Carpro Reset or Lift, Koch Chemie GSF, NV Snow or Snow+, depending on what I'm...

Yep, 2-bucket method for me. I've heard that it might not make that much of a difference if you use a pre-wash foam and rinse, but to me, it just feels like extra insurance and I dont see it costing me more than a couple of extra minutes. The overhead of filling another bucket and dunking the...

Yeah you'll definitely be able to see them without jacking up the car. You just need to look in there at the spring under the fender. I just didn't check at all until today.

Thanks. Yeah I can see mine is sitting a bit lower already. I like it! 😁

Yeah probably. Haven't driven it yet, but will take it for a drive tomorrow. 👍

When I got my car, the dealer (pretty useless, but more on that later) just left the underbody strakes in the boot. I wanted them installed, so today I decided to try my new jacking pads and see if I can install the strakes. First step off course is to jack up the car. As I mentioned in...

Outright as well.

Yep there are so many variables. I simply need to try it and see if my stuff works. The cup on my trolley jack is bigger than the jack pads so I think I'm simply going to put a microfibre towel over the cup and then lift using the jack pad. The jack pad should go into the cup and not be able to...

@5.0ALM , Have you used jack stands on your car yet now that you have those jacking pads installed? As you know I have the same setup now and I need to take off the wheels to ceramic coat them. Lifting the car with a jack on these new jack pads will obviously work, but how do I swap the jack...
