car detailers


Recommended Posts

How much did you want to spend??? The 'car wash cafes' don't seem to be worth it at all (my brother gets his car cleaned there and its always pretty pathetic)....the guy who I bought my car off spent a few hundred on the detailing and it was, without exaggeration, like a new car. I can chase up his name if you want to spend that much.

White Glove (I think thats the name) in Edgecliff charge a fortune but their results are supposed to be spectacular.

There's a few in Five Dock, last time my boss got a detail on his BMW it was like $150 or something? but this was a FULL detail.

Check yellowpages and give some of the local guys in your work area a call?

Out of precaution I get my car looked at by people close to work and not close to home :rolleyes:

Any north shore detailers? I've got little paint scratches on the bumper and slightly larger ones which have been painted over (but dodgy) which I wouldn't mind having cleaned up.

Am I right in thinking I just bring it in and they wash/vacuum it as well as doing the detailing? (Yes, I'm too lazy to clean it before I take it in).

Please PM me details if you can.

Cheers,

Tim

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
