Well for about 1 month, there wouldn't be any polishing action, paint too soft, but you can apply some wax.

As far as i know, you should stay clear of synthetic waxes or sealants, and go with a carnauba wax.

Reason being is that carnauba breathes, synthetic doesn't.

That was my understanding.

Hit up FI for some killer carnauba's...

Dodo is great new range of waxes available recently at FI.

Pete is pimpin' Onyx at the moment (swissvax)

Zymol has an $18,000 tub of wax if you're keen :)

not sure if you saw my post in the D.A. thread Marcus, but i'm sooo glad you took my advice to go get your car worked on by Damian. You could travel the country and possibly ship your car anywhere in the southern hemisphere and not find a better detailer :)

It's going to look stunning :ph34r: Stage 3? And please say you're getting a coat of Royale to finish it off? Nothing like finishing with a $18,000 coat of wax :wave:

Regarding FI, i read from the members only thread, SAU members have 5% discount off his services right? The other i went, Dammo said it's only 5% off DETAILING services and not a normal wash.

Can someone from the committee clarify this issue?

Apologies for the supporter post. It is true that the 5% discount only applies on detailing services.

Sorry for the confusion. Supporter thread has been updated.

FI is pretty darn good.

but so is my guy...and I have seen others also - its not rocket science.

A good detail and wax will last for a long time and is worth the $$...my last Zymol applciation lasted for ages..like 10 months but my car doesnt see much sun or weather.

Thinking of booking in here soon.

To cut a long story short, ended up stuck on a one way bush road that I couldnt reverse out of, so have minor scratches all along the side of my car from ferns and other plants >.<

Stage 3 should do the trick yeah?

Thanks for the kind words mate.

About the Zymol lasting 10months, that can't be right. Zymol Waxes are toatally organic, the natural carbauba in Royale (even with 3 coats) would last a maximum of 3 months. Even without driving the car or washing it, it would see a limited amount of time, possibly 6 months max.

Maybe the 'look' still lasts 10months later but the wax will defintely be spent.

Wax up now to protect that surface! ;)

Hope this helps, if you need anymore info let me know,

Oh Yeah, I've spoken to the Cafe Manager, Elise, we will now offer 5% off all wash & detailing services at FIAB now.

Present your card when you pay and we'll deduct the 5%.

Cheers guys, thanks for your support.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
