Only place to get your ride detailed.

Damain is probably the best IN THE WORLD, and there is not a business like his in the country.

How are they price wise?

Well, they are the best.

Are you looking for the best job, or the cheapest?

They are actually VERY well priced considering the quality of the job they do.

Depends on whether I can get the best done for cheaper :happy:

A rough indication would have been nice.

the proverbial "no brainer"

Damian and the boys at Final Inspection. End of muthaf*cking story.

Don't even CONTEMPLATE anywhere else, because these guys are practically the same price as comparable "detailers" but provide a level of service completely unmatched by anyone in the ENITRE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE!!! I say 'southern' because there is a freak of a detailer in the UK by the name of Paul Dalton. He does some ultra impressive work as well.

I believe a Stage 1 detail is around $200, (don't quote me on that). But it really, REALLY, depends on the condition of the paint.

If people post up some pics, i can give you an idea of how bad/good the paint is. Full sun shots preferably

dunno why everyone says this final inspection place is the best? as dezz said, unless you've used every other detailer in melbourne/victoria you cannot compare! i've never used final inspection, and i don't doubt they are very good, but i can't comment on their work as i havent seen anything.

all i know is i paid $220 for my detail, and now my car looks although its ready to be taken delivery of for the first time out of the showroom. so i'm very happy.. but i won't go as far as saying they are the best, forget everyone else! that is just ignorant!

if you followed the progress of the construction of Final Inspection's Auto Boutique in Brunswick, seen Damian's work, read about detailing and learning about the best products, the best techniques, what to look for in good results, what corners can be cut, what are the common pitfalls, what are the band-aid approaches, what are the tricks supposed "detailers" use to create "good" results, the bullshit that is found in any industry (5 star shine). When you hang around all this and the detailing forums, and try all the products, see what everyone around the world is using, their results and their processes, you'll quickly realise that Final Inspection has no peer in Australia.

A car straight from the showroom has the potential to look a million times better than how it's presented when you buy it.

is your car metallic Ruffels? got any full sun shots?

Around 200 bux is fair, what does a Stage 1 detail include though?

I'll be getting both my cars done at FI, and take my mums car there to fix up the shltty job the place she just got it detailed at did...

I haven't used anyone else for a detail, but if I'm happy with the work of the one place, why not recommend it? *thumbs up*

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
