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*

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
