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...

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
