One product that is getting a lot of attention online over the last couple of months is a new release by Meguiars, what they are calling their “Hybrid Ceramic Wax“. I must admit when I initially read about it and saw the name, I was immediately sceptical. For one, this does not look like a Wax Product, nor does it look like a Ceramic Coating product. Seeing the words Ceramic and Wax used in the same description had me questioning…
Last Saturday morning I was setting up all my detailing gear for the usual weekend clean of the TTRS. Just as I was ready to go, I turned on my Karcher pressure washer to give the car a pre-rinse before I started the snow foam process. Suddenly I heard a loud hissing noise and the water started spraying everywhere! I looked around to see what was happening and noticed that the hose part of the Karcher Pressure Washer had a…
As some of you may already know I recently changed my car to a MK2 Audi TTRS. I have owned the car for a couple of months now and I must say it is the best car I have ever owned. Both the looks and the performance are amazing. Although I bought this car mainly for the driving experience, one thing that it was lacking was the “tech” in the car – particularly the radio and entertainment system. It begs…
Hydrophobic Coating for Your Cars Glass Over the last number of years, there has been an ever growing interest in Ceramic Coatings, Glass Coatings, Leather Coatings and just protective car coatings in general. It has been a trend that has really taken off, and for good reason.

As some of the regular readers of my blog will know, I recently bought a new ( to me ) car. If not you can read about it on a previous post here. This was a dream car for me which I found in the exact spec that I was looking for ( albeit it was a long wait to find the perfect one ). This car was second hand with one previous owner. As with any second-hand car, the…
Summer is pretty much In full swing at this point, the sun is out and the air is warm outside and everyone is happy! Summer is probably my favourite time of year overall. I know in my case when I see the sun shining, it goes hand in hand with me wanting to clean my car. Although I am a bit of a freak comes to cleaning my car throughout the year, I turn into a super freak during the…
There’s really nothing that grinds your gears more than polishing your car’s exhaust tips only to discover those pesky orange spots tarnishing the shine of your tailpipes. This is a little misadventure I found myself in recently, and I gotta tell you, seeing it for the first time on the exhaust surface was quite the unwelcome surprise. Without missing a beat, I sprinted to my laptop and fired up Google, typing in everything from “how to get rid of rust…
There are few things in life more infuriating than spending hours cleaning your beloved car, only to have a pesky bird or pigeon ruin your hard work with a fresh dropping. It can feel like these birds have been watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and the moment you turn your back, SPLAT – there’s another mess to clean up. Sometimes it feels like it’s intentional, and you can almost hear them laughing at your misfortune. Unfortunately,…
