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...

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
