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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
