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 :)

So either go all out to Final Inspection or I'd do it myself for fun.

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 :)

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

:D

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

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.

striking through paint to bare metal i would think is something pretty hard to rectify birds :D

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 :D

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.

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
