you're my detailing hero Looks great

Those kind words mean a lot!

I have spent most of my life looking up to and following others for direction. With detailing, I feel like I have confidence to lead the way.

Observant members will notice that when I drive a car, I detail it afterwards.

Did it need to detailed? Not really. But I needed to detail it.

A very productive therapy session!

What make of supercharger is that on top?

What make of supercharger is that on top?

These Coyote based 5.0 V8's were fitted to Falcon's from 2010 to 2016. They were codenamed Miami and locally assembled by hand at the Geelong engine plant, where the engine builder would stamp his initials under the supercharger snout.

Most components like the block and heads were imported. The Miami V8 had a locally designed intake manifold to support a Harrop HTV 1900 with Eaton Twin Vortices Series rotors that were originally developed for Jaguar. They used the Boss 302 rotating assembly and locally designed exhaust headers. Unlike the Coyote, these engines only used VCT on the intake cams.

The huge open cold air intake was standard to introduce some induction note to the soundtrack.

While a Coyote is all about top end power, these engines hammer from idle to redline, which is set at 6250 rpm. The consequence of such grunt is hellacious fuel consumption!

These Miami V8's were the first Ford in the world to have a factory fitted supercharged Coyote.

Interesting. I am actually considering a Harrop supercharger instead of the more popular Whipple as I understand the Harrop makes better torque down low and is considerably cheaper.

Any recommendations for water spots on the paint?

With water-spots, you can attack this in two ways.

If you are lucky, a product like CarPro Spotless would be the first thing to try. These break down the mineral deposits left by water-spots. You can also make your own by mixing white vinegar and demineralized water at 50:50. These products can also be used on glass.

CARPRO Spotless 2.0 Water Spot Remover 500ml (17oz) *New* - Sky's The Limit Car Care (carpro-us.com)

If a water-spot remover doesn't work, then you will need to polish them out.

This video is a good how-to for Spotless -

Thank you! It might be moot however due to new work parking lot next to a bunch of bee hives in boxes. Came out to a car covered in bee poop yesterday. That shit doesn’t come off easy. Next purchase may be a flame thrower.
