I know someone that does them from his backyard has all the tools, washes, cuts and polsihes and paint protects. etc..he is actually a detailer at oakleigh nissan whatever its called now. Everything he does is top work he just did my mates r33.

He charges 100 for the cut and polish or 150 for cut and polish and paint protect.

he's in bayswater..but hey mav is probably betetr to got rhough since he seems to be organising some good stuff.

I cant find an address for these guys?

Would you happen to know it? Got a problem only a real professional car detailer may fix :)

Just use the booking form on that site they'll get in touch with you.

They don't have an address yet, have a place opening soon though.

You can't get more professional and REAL than Final Inspection.

They do on-site detailing. Meaning if you can provide water and electricity, they can go down.

Book early though, it's more or less fully booked all the way till mid-June ATM.

I personally don't use products like that on my rims i prefer to use a wax or something not so harsh, also something that will in turn protect gives a much better result if you go down that path...

If its looking like a 2 dollar whore im sure we can work something out to get it not looking like a whore again :P

A white car should be the easiest to look clean. A proper cut and polish and wax will make it so easy to clean, dirt just wash off.

As for rims, use Power Wheel Cleaner (PWC). Cleans rims real quick and easy and is safe for the finish. Then, use wheelwax to protect and shine it, so it's easier to clean them in the future. Wheelwax also has some cleaner in it. After using wheelwax, I only use high pressure spray to clean the rims. It lasts for about 1-3 months.

4th, 5th, 6th, 100th F.I. (final inspection) - Damian is the pro of pro's. You would struggle mightily to find a better detailer in the ENITRE country.

Megs make some good products, but don't quite cut it next to some of the top products. Can get all the best stuff from final inspection as well.

All depends on how fussy you are. If you're not too fussed, you could probably just raid autobarn for Meguiars products.

Or, if you're really keen on your paint/car, you'll find the next level of stuff through final inspection. And it's not that price inhibitive, and less is more when using some of the best products.

2nd PWC (power wheel cleaner), and the F.I. MSTD (mid-sheen tyre dressing, not that super wet chapel st look). And yes, wheel wax afterwards, to help prevent brake dust build up, and basically just let you high pressure water the rims clean with a bit of PWC at your next wash.

If someone is cutting and polishing, you can't just leave it after the polish. You must apply some sort of wax/sealant afterwards to protect the paint/clear from all the crap in the air/bird droppings, etc.. this LSP (last stage product) will also help A LOT in the depth and clarity of the paint after the polish.

A great, easy to use wax, OCW - Optimum Car Wax - a little carnauba, and part synthetic. Dead-set easy to use. Make sure you have some TOP quality MF (micro-fibre) cloths, otherwise you'll just put swilrs in the clear when buffing the wax.

all in the preparation...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
