Rodger turned up with all his gear and he spent from 9am till past 6pm on my car..

the paintwork had been washed by idiots during the life of the car so it had a huge

amount of spider web scratching all over, and a few deeper scratches to boot.

The results were amazing, as he said, "better than new".

Check it out..

He charged $450 which yeah it is steep, but he knows his stuff and gave the car

more attention than we expected it would need at the outset, so I think I got a

break on the price given the hours he spent. All the trim was taped up first, he

removed the spoiler. The whole nine yards.

if you use him tell him you saw the black skyline on SAU. I don't get any benefit from

this, just want to thank him for the work.

thats good. so please tell the work that he did from 9 am to 6pm? detailed with black paint and a brush? few layers of cream plus a couple buffs? did you have any scratches on your car down to the metal or were all the "spiderweb" scratches just in the layer of clear on top of the paint?

No black paint..

I'm summarizing but basically wash with new microfiber, then rinse, then clay bar,

then re-wash and re-rinse, then tape up all the trim, then use Xpert 1000 ultra polish

then Xpert 1500 polish, then machine pad glaze, then hand Xpert titanium paint sealant

and finally a carnuba wax. Somewhere in here obviously also interior, tires and alloys,

oh and all the glass which was fairly well covered with the usual plastics out-gassing haze..

its a lot of different chemicals towels, waxes and pads. hard to justify the expense of

doing this oneself because of all the crap you have to buy, including the high power light

rig etc. I like washing my own car as much as anyone, and can stretch to a wash and a

couple of layers of wax on a lazy afternoon -- but not further than that.

I do believe the base charge was $110! Well worth it in my opinion, do you see how shiny the damn brace is haha. Anyways he charged me extra due to the call out since I do live quite far away but I still was damn happy with the job and will call him to do the rest of my car.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
