autoglym what exactly??? it's like saying... "HKS, makes my car go faster, they're awesome!"

they make some good products, their bumper care one is not bad...

but there's a whole other level above autoglym :happy:

I have just upgraded from Mothers to Poorboys and I must say its far superior. No more off the shop shelf products for me. And bang for buck you cant go wrong. Next step up to try will be P21 and also want to try Dodo Juice people are saying it on par to Zymol or Swissvax ,without the cost. Just need to find someone that sell it in Oz

dude, finalinspection.com.au has been mentioned a zillion times in this thread. He sells ALL the best stuff

Swissvax

Zymol (he has a tub of Royale, $18,000 if you're interested)

Dodo

Zaino

P21s

Menzerna,

etc, etc..

Which dodo are you referring to? They have a lot of products.

Mate, poorboys is decent but just go get some Menzerna polishes, not that expensive and you CANNOT get better. You know what you're doing, so just get the best :happy:

P21s is a great BFYB product, and the new P21s100 is better again (although more $$). Swissvax Onyx is a great wax as well and not that $$.

I've seen some great results from of Dodo's range of waxes as well. So Onyx, Dodo (choose the wax depending on the car colour), P21s100 would be some great waxes to try.

Dodo's Lime Prime is one of the best pre-wax prep products available as well. Obviously suited to Dodo products, but works equally with others.

Yeah want some Dodo juice purple haze, so will drop him an email. I have two, I use a 1200w Ryobi Orbital for the heavy stuff, it is a bit fast as it runs at 1500rpm to 6000 rpm but have mastered it at those speeds, just dont use heavy pads LOL and a Ryobi ERO750VK random orbital for light paint correction and swirl removal, orbital diameter is a bit small though at just 3.5mm.

im about to spend some time on my paint - its black & was repsrayed about 2mths ago...considering its new paint i shouldn't use clay or polish right as this cuts the paint which i dont want to do?

if im on the right track i should only use a wax to compliment the paint.

for example if i went with autoglym i would use deep shine & gloss protection.

Ask the sprayer about curing time, but yes, that is quite fresh paint. Perhaps give it 3 months before detailing.

In the mean time it's VERY important to give the new paint some protection, BUT also allow the paint to breathe so it can cure.

A Carnauba wax is perfect for this. I'd pick up some P21s paste wax, or even some OCW (optimum car wax) from Final Inspection, to help you with this. Both around $30, but brilliant for the money, best bang-for-buck waxes you can buy.

Build up some layers to protect the paint until it's time to detail.

Skip the AutoGlym stuff.

If its 2 pack it will be cured, if its acrylic and has had hardener put in it, it will be cured. If it is just Acrylic, give it another month before putting any sealers on it.

COMPLIMENTS to D'ELEGANCE in Western Subs of Sydney.

They tried to deliver some Zymol products to an address at Earlwood and it never arrived!

Someone in our Postal Service has it still, I presume...

Anyway, D'ELEGANCE rather than lose goodwill, replaced the whole order in exchange for direct pick-up!!!

This is Service +++ from the old days!!! :)

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
