Hey guys,

Well as some of you may or may not know, i'm getting married in september.

as a result. i need 2 cars detailed on the morning, however it'd have to be early.

I'm in the Hills. But can anyone recommend someone that will do a good job at about 7am?

They're commodores if it matters

Cheers

Nick

Commodores can be detailed anytime of the day or night, here's the tools you'll be needing;

Ok in all seriousness, you can detail a car the day (or week) beforehand then just keep them/it undercover until the day they're needed.

Or if undercover parking isnt an option, get them detailed the day before, then at 7am have someone out there giving them both an easy normal wash with a hose and a bucket just on the outside (get the morning dew off them) and leave time so they can dry in all the spaces like door jams etc. And of course, whoever does it in the morning has to do a decent job with a chamois

You know how long a full detail takes, right?

I used to be a detailer and do you have like 3-4 hours time in the morning for a full detail?? Lol, on your wedding day, thats the last thing you will want to be worrying about whether the car is ready. Get it fully detailed during the week, and all you need to do is give it a hose, in the morning and chamois it thoroughly. If you think its not shiny enough, just get some quick detailer spray and a polishing pad and just quickly rub over everything (or get someone else to do this for you) would only take 30 minutes and a quick vacuum inside if it's dirty.

Yep exactly.

A just detailed car should only need a quick rinse and wipe for months after.

I gave my GTR a full detail myself about 4 months ago and even last week, just a quick rinse and wipe and she's perfect.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
