Jack- Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just want to know some good places to get your car detailed or even mobile ones that come to you, preferably western suburbs.. I've only ever been to one and it was shocking, my dog could have licked it cleaner than they left it. Any feedback is appreciated Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 If you want a great job done, go here: Final Inspection Auto Boutique Factory 10, 36 Merri Concours, Campbellfield VICTORIA 3061 Detailing: Tuesday to Saturday: BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Products: Saturday: 10am-4pm To make an appointment, or to enquire about distribution of Final Inspection products please contact us via (03) 9357 5503 or at [email protected] http://www.finalinspection.com.au/ But it is in the North, but worth the travel and Rekin just got his R32 done there: http://www.skylinesa...57#entry5862157 + I am sure any of those car wash places can do a decent job. So either go all out to Final Inspection or I'd do it myself for fun.

bluejeans Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 ive been wanting to get car detailed by final inspection but i might wait till atleast spring - would hate to get it done and drive it straight out into rain Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5867008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 ive been wanting to get car detailed by final inspection but i might wait till atleast spring - would hate to get it done and drive it straight out into rain That's the point of detailing, it stays clean even through the rain. Makes it very easy to keep the car clean through the wetter seasons Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5867016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack- Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Only reason I want it done is cos I'm selling it, don't want anything too fancy just mainly the interior - a steam clean. I can do the outside myself. Might give the iceman a call he lives 5 mins away.

macdog Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 how often do people detail there cars? Define detail, Cut and polish thats all it is yeah? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5867396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS8_Gohan Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 how often do people detail there cars?Define detail, Cut and polish thats all it is yeah? i'd go at least yearly for a detail, but with maintenance in between. Detail to me would be a machine polish. But i would clay the car at least a few times in the year, with a few layers of sealant or wax throughout the year, which makes the maintenance/detailing easier dude, out west... no choice, Final Inspection /end thread Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5867606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesK Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) I have always heard a bad story about something or other about the "Pro in their field" whether its a tuner, panel beater, paint job, or pretty much anything if you've been around long enough you've always heard at least one bad experience....everything/everyone EXCEPT for Damien @ Final Inspection, I swear the amount to people praise him you'd think he's a god Edited June 19, 2011 by JamesK Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5872648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Pretty hard to stuff up detailing and not be able to correct the mistake though. Not saying there aren't shitty detailers, but at least you don't have things like worn engines blowing up on you / messing with ya work.

SS8_Gohan Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 striking through paint to bare metal i would think is something pretty hard to rectify birds not to mention plastics, glass, exterior moulds, interior trims - there's some things you can do that there is no coming back from.

And a lot of it are prices you don't want to ask from a stealership to replace Hahaha that's true, but how often does it happen to a professional in the field? Tuners on the other hand, well I've heard stories of engines failing and always being blamed on the tuner. I guess what I'm saying is, a pro detailer can usually see what they are working with and know what to expect as an outcome...mechanical fields tend to be more prone to f*** ups on behalf of a worn or poorly built car/engine.

SS8_Gohan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 that is true, it's pretty much all out there for everyone to see. And a good detailer would be doing a PTT before doing any serious correction, so you do know what you're getting for the most part mechanical is definitely a bit of a pandora's box sometimes Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367833-car-detailing/#findComment-5884822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
