  1. On the fence about extending warranty

    Best thing to do is check the fine print of the warranty. See what is excluded and what isn't. It's common knowledge that most extended warranties for consumer household goods are not worth the paper they're written on. They're up-sold by retailers because they make a margin on them, which is...
  2. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Me too! I had to Google "The Onion". https://www.theonion.com/
  3. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Not to mention the aroma of a running two stroke! Yes, I will miss that, a bit like boarding an aircraft via the rear stairs or at a regional airport... ahh, that smell of Jet A-1. :blush: Electric has no ambience about it, but it "just works".
  4. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    That's quite impressive. I chucked my 13 year old Stihl MS180 in the bin the other day. Had a gutful of it being a bastard to start, and bogging down. Pulled it apart, cleaned everything, mesh filter, carb, new plug. A 2-stroke is a pretty simple thing. And it was still being a dog. Time to go...
  5. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    A search in this forum suggests the answer will be no, but does anyone here have any experience with the APC Nextzett Blizt? Product link in USA. Blitz, made in Germany, supposedly has a pH of 10.4 at full concentration. I'm asking because my current order of goodies is being held up due to...

    Just some Cardonay, thanks, you pack a ...! 🥂
  7. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Well, I ordered a Bear Force foam cannon off AliExpress to do the wheels & tyres. It's the brass version, and not expensive. AUD$25 = USD$17 ish for those who drive on the wrong side of the road. The reviews on Youtube are quite good, remembering the price point. I didn't bother with the...
  8. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    As always, appreciate the detailed reply, D. The IK Foam Pro 2+ (forgot to include the plus) has a Schrader valve on it, and I was thinking of utilising my bike pump. I was actually toying with the idea of a cheapo foam cannon for the wheels, (and possibly engine bay). Don't want to...
  9. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Brake Buster is on my shopping list, and I was looking at getting an IK Foam Pro 2 for the wheels & tyres. This seems like a no-brainer, but then this caught my eye on the WaxIt site. A nozzle that is supposed to add foaming ability to their small spray bottles. + The WaxIt site doesn't...

    Don't shoot the messenger! :lipssealed:
  11. P&S Absolute Rinse-less Wash Review

    FYI... A timely video from TRC on the subject, published yesterday.
  12. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Is there a better alternative to using the roller drum on a typical Gerni? (Other than the obvious - a better aftermarket hose etc) It's such a tight roll, the tension in the hose causes the drum to spool back, and the wind becomes loose. I can appreciate why you'd fit a QC on the pressure...
  13. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    Lead acid car battery manufacturers have honed their skills over the decades so that their battery will fail weeks/months after the warranty expires! That ultimately translates to faster turn-over of stock. Ka ching! Manufacturers warranty period is a good indicator of life expectancy...

    At least Pan doesn't come across as vague and clueless, like Josh tends to. I struggle watching that guy, so appreciate your pain. :lipssealed:
  15. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Sorry, off topic, but how on Earth did you get your S550 in there? You cannot possibly open the doors being in the container. :crazy:
  16. DFB'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF DETAILING - UPDATED APRIL 2026

    In the process of attempting to improve my own detailing game, I'm referring to the information in this topic, a lot. With DFB's blessing, here is a cut 'n pasted pdf version of Deyon's first post. I do like to have a hard copy of some things in front of me for reference. If you like to burn...
  17. DFB's Soap Shoot Out

    FYI... Bilt-Hamber have a new version of Touch-Less. pH is now 10.5, and it's concentration has been increased. PAN released this new video 19 hours ago. Interestingly, and despite the high pH, this is supposedly ok with waxes, paint sealants and ceramic coatings.
  18. DFB'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF DETAILING - UPDATED APRIL 2026

    I see what you mean Deyon. $244 for 1L of the yellow colourant is absurd. :thumbsdown: Thanks for taking the time to post those sample images. Appreciate it. Not a issue. The problem with our long wait times.... you over-think things whilst waiting for the new toy to arrive. 🕰:crazy:
  19. DFB'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF DETAILING - UPDATED APRIL 2026

    I have an Oxford White S650 on order. I'm also looking at getting a foam cannon. I might be over-thinking this, but how hard is it to see the foam coverage over a white car? Is a stoopid idea to put a tiny amount of food colouring to make the foam more obvious? Or is there a product...
