    My latest article, this time featuring Bilt Hamber Atom Mac. Bilt Hamber Atom Mac: A Quick Guide | Detailing Shed BILT HAMBER ATOM MAC corrosion inhibitor (detailingshed.com.au) Bilt Hamber Atom-Mac | Rust Prevention | Obsessed Garage I chased a product like this for the longest time, now...
  2. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    I was using APC on interiors too, mainly customer cars. I got to the point where I didn't want to find out the hard way by destroying someone else's car, so switched to Xpress. If you want something more readily available, check out Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer, the retail size and not the...

    The main drawcard of the Griot's is the lack of a colorant and scent....................... "It contains no dyes or additives that could damage the surface being cleaned. Leaves behind no residue that would attract more dirt. It wipes clean and clear. Safe on all surfaces including carpets...

    The spouts are from Griot's, I love them!! We don't have access to Griot's in Australia, I got mine from OG at considerable expense. They fit most gallon bottles, including P&S, Adam's and Meguiar's. Dispensing Spout - Garage Helper- Griot's Garage (griotsgarage.com) Griot's Garage Dispensing...

    Fingers crossed for you. Make sure you insist on them NOT washing the car, have it noted on the service sheet.

    Post service sanity wash for the XR6 this morning. This time, I washed the wheels and paint with the remainder of a bottle of Gtechniq G-Wash. Despite a lovely scent and decent slickness, I never really loved this soap. Drying Aid was Meguiar's Last Touch, the wheels wiped down with NV...
  7. Cleaning Carbon Fiber Wheels

    Dialing it down that low would only be when using the CR spotless water demineralizer, which is used as the final rinse to prevent water spotting due to hard water.

    If you go the magic eraser route, I would tape of the surrounding paintwork as those things are incredibly abrasive. Something you could also try on a small test section would be something like Carpro TarX. Apply to a towel and gently wipe, making sure to rinse afterwards. Not knowing the...

    Glad its not just me........................
  10. Becoming a huge Bead Maker fan

    I think you might be onto something there. Bead Maker is a polymer sealant. P&S are a bit cagey on what's in it, naturally, from what I have learned, it does have a very small amount of Si02 in the formula, but not enough for it to be considered a ceramic spray sealant. In the past...

    He's currently in Australia running detailing clinics with various suppliers. They also had a meet and greet, if I wasn't so self conscious, I would have gone. Same for Larry Kosilla.

    See, you started the trend and now Carpro are joining the party. You should ask them for royalties. :giggle:

    Absolutely no need to wet sand paint to remove water spots. I have mentioned this a few times, but you need to chemically neutralize the minerals that caused the water spot prior to other measures, including polishing. If you don't, then the spots continue to reappear every time the paint...

    Carpro have just launched a new brush for tire dressing - CARPRO DarkSide Tire Applicator Brush *New* - Skys The Limit Car Care (carpro-us.com) This is not especially "new" as these have been sold by other vendors for a while now and can be had generic as well. Auto Detail Brush Portable...

    I have one of those, but think I've only used it once. This is a more general observation, but I get the feeling most people don't bother to read signs in any situation. I see this daily, customers walking right past a sign, but then still ask "where is xyz?".

    The XR6 up on the lift this week for its annual service...................read: oil and filter change. Actually, it was quite confusing for the service advisor. The odometer reads just 31,000 km (19,600 mile), but his computer said it was in for 105,000km (65,240 mile) service. I made...

    The brushes you linked are probably too small for tire dressing, they are designed for crevices. I get it though, the Curveball is probably better suited to 40-series rubber and above. I make it work the my Mustang, but for the XR8 and Jaguar with 35 and 30-series tires, I've been using the...

    I wouldn't use a polish in this case, even though Essence Plus is a non-abrasive. Reset won't be strong enough here either. A thorough decon and quick wipe over with Eraser should have you set. I would do the following - 1. Apply Iron Remover to the whole car, allow to soak but not dry. You...

    Perhaps have a look at TRC's new Wool Wheel Mitt. These are smaller than the microfiber version, fitting over your fingers rather than your whole hand. That smaller size can help with more intricate wheels where traditional sized towels or wash mitts would be too bulky. ULTRA Wool Wheel Mitt |...
