So....I took my car to a self car wash, and there is so many scratches. That brush full scratched my car, very visible scratches, more than just swirls.

Anyway, does anybody recommend someone in Sydney that might be able to help me remove all these car wash scratches/swirls.

Ohh and how much will it cost?

Cheers,

Danny

I never take my car to those places.

So many dirty 4WDs precede you.

BTW, is there any 'lack of disclaimer' at that establishment?

Search for threads by PolishDoc and others.

Can use Zymol (or other high quality) Polish > Sealer > Canauba Wax

i take it you have a black car...as most who have posted here have..lol as do I. yeah first time i took mine to one was the last time i used the brush for cleaning. What I do now is dab the brush onto the car when soap is dispensed, then use a wool mit to clean but I still come away with some scratches from the brush.

a good polish should help get em out.

Black Beauty! =)

Wool Mit is perfect for it, you use it as normal wash but the trick is, you just glide it over your car and you do not put pressure at it at all. this should reduce the swirling that it makes. Just my opinion anyway. =)

oh and avoid taking your car to those car wash boxes! unless you bring your own stuff.. and just use their high pressure rinse. everyone uses the brush to clean the tyres and wheels last before hanging it back ready for the next round!

It can be fixed...you're looking around $250-$300 or so depending on who you goto.

The detailer will probably start with a medium swirl remover on a rotary on a medium/light pad. This will have to be followed up by a sealant/wax/both of your choosing or the detailers.

Never ever use drive thru washes if you're worried about swirls peoples.

I don't really recommend doing this yourself if you haven't done it before.. you may cause more damage if anything and it is a VERY time consuming process and special equipment really does help.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
