Ive got a bit a cash and wanna spruce up my car a bit, its got some paint damage on one side that i want to get fixed up and various swirl marks etc, it looks like someone has been grinding around my car because on one side the paint has tiny little orange marks on it like tiny specs of rust, can this be removed buy just cut and polish or wud u need another clear coat or something

im after some gud detailing places that can do the full treatment, not just wash and a couple of layers of polish etc, ive done a search and most of the posts where from a few years back so i thought id ask

cheers Nick

yeah mate those orange marks are specs of metal that have melted into ur clear coat. now its probably turned orange cause of specs rusting.

most panel beaters do a thing called a Compound Wax. i think i got quoted 200 or something like that for the whole car..

but hey ring around/ask around. u might get a cheaper price.

hope it helps

I ran into a mate today thats doing car detailing now and he said he has got this polish that works better than anything he ever seen , but i cant remember the name i will check with him. He just found out yesterday that it's the polish they used on all the cars for the fast and furiuos movies. I going to try it i will let u no how it goes.

it's called industrial fall out, was called out to a job on a new Audi Q7 a week after it was delivered as the rear tailgate was littered with spots everywhere, can be removed.

pm me if you want details etc, cheers

p.s - thanks Dan

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
