Cut and Polishing / detailing car + MAS entrants query


Recommended Posts

Go easy on me, I dont normally start my own threads.

Anyone got a decent contact for Cut and Polishing / Detailing?

Melbourne only. Preferably SE suburbs.

Reasonable Price.

Needs to be done by next weekend.

No silly posts, thanks.

Any HELP much appreciated :P

Either PM or post here.

How do you guys plan on preparing your cars?

Just the usual wash? - with a bit of extra care perhaps?

Full detail?

C&P?

Blow-wave? j/k :P

Are you doing it yourselves or what?

We could organise a group thing for a discount somewhere maybe?

I am currently trying to find a GOOD place, though I am concerned time isnt on our side.

Any tips would be welcomed.

its a car detailing place on the corner of hoddle and gipps st in collingwood... i used to work around the corner from it... do a good job... full interior clean including shampoo from what i remember and the exterior i think u can get a olish or cut and polish or depending on how much u want to spend they have different options etc

I"m up for some detailing as well, thoe i have the products Meguires i cant be ****ed doing it by hand, detailed my car myself a while ago, but so much work with using the hands...dam...

When helping out with the MAS on the two days its on i'll be in the stand hopefully, with nice pampering cloths and meguires quick detailer, to get those dam finger prints off and shit. I keep em up to showcar conditions even after the detail. CHeers Rob

sorry if its too late but the guy i bought my car off is a panel beater... deals with loads of skylines that he brings in... done some work on my car.. including repsyraying my bonnet before i got it coz it had a couple stone chips... and u've seen my car... the bonnet was fine yer ? might wanna give him a bell on 9308 8977 his name is Paul he is in roxburgh park (its close to the maccas where my car coz smacked :P) and tell him u know me he will look after you

oh and btw i wouldny cut it unless its in similar condsition to mine currently (i used a public car was brush :P stoopid me) as the black on skylines is the udnercoat and then the layers of clear go over that so it will just come up dull and ugly.. like where i got keyed when i tried to cut it.. i learned the hard way.. but i believe panel beaters know how to do it properly.. just tell my guy u want the paint looking schmick for autosalon and im sure he'll do what is required :D

Thanks again guys,

DJ: I will have to keep your advice in mind - thanks!

Rob - good to have your support mate ;)

Skyline33: I will be in touch if the other guys show some interest.

Sniffy: it has a lot of surface scratches that show up when looked at closely so I was thinking a cut & polish would restore it back to new. Just cause its a 34 doesnt mean the paint is brand new ~ I wish :)

me - whore? never [i could have made 5 posts out of this if I was a true ho like you :D].

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
