Hey all,

First off I've done a bit of detailing over the past few years and there's nothing I enjoy more than getting compliments on how well my cars have looked. I mostly hand detailed before until my dad picked up a mothers wax attack. I used it a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed the ease of machine buffing but noticed much sooner than later this product really didn't cut the grade for what I needed it to do. I invested in a Concours 900 DA buffer from Waxit (with Lake Country and Menzerna compounds to suit) and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thought I'd just post up some results for all those people that like to check out photos.

Keep in mind, I got this side fender from a panel beaters and as well as a big ding in it, it had flaking paint etc... so the test spot is a little askew haha.

As you can see it's in pretty poor condition. Swirls and scratches clearly evident.

This was after I washed and clay barred the right side.

A couple of passes using Orange lake country pad and Menzerna Power Finish.

There's a picture missing between the last photo and the next one but the step involved Grey Lake country pad with Menzerna Final Finish.

Swirls and Scratches seem to have been removed fairly good.

Reflective finish is always rewarding :thumbsup:.

I could have spent a lot more time and there's a few steps I missed out on (like waxing) just because I didn't want to waste too much on a crummy pos fender (it was a off a ford anyway) :rolleyes:.

going to give the missus car a crack in the next few days hasnt been done for 5 years and looking shabby...

I was told by a panel beater to lightly spray water on as you buff to stop it drying out, saves you using so much product..

Yeah it's definitely a good kit. I spent close to 24 (broken hours) detailing my car before I left over seas. Got some pretty good results although next time, I wish to have in my possession a paint depth indicator. Detailed my car with a concours white pad and Menzernas Power finish PF2500. I got most swirls, light scratches and holograms out however, there was still a few that remained but personally could be buffed out with a different compound/pad combination. Anyway, car looks mint ;)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
