Hi Guys, my r33 is in need of a proper clean including a good cut n polish etc as there are some marks on the paint ever since those buggers at Jack Hillermans repaired it from an accident 18 months ago. Whilst they did a good job on the repair, they left marks all over the car seemingly from where they had taped plastic around it... I don't drive the car much so didn't cotton into it until later. Its hard to explain these marks but they annoy me when i see the sun reflect off them. I dunno if it stripped the clear coat, stained, something that's visible when light reflects off it. They are mostly around the door handles and rear bumper. Anyway, im after someone who can give the car a good solid clean and fix up this stuff as well. I don't want to waste a day stuffing around myself and potentially not even get the outcome I want. So options please.... either around the lower north shore (chatswood/st leonards etc) or Campbelltown areas. Thanks!

Not far from Chatswood at all is...

Eugene Chan (aka JDM_Performance) here on SAU.

He has polished/sealed/waxed several cars that have won awards.

0421.141.538 and he might be best engaged to spend a couple of days on your car.

You may be able to get away with it by cutting it yourself. I know you mentioned you don't want to spend a day stuffing around but it may be a simple thing. Have you got photos?

Also Terry, does Eugene have a website? I'm keen to have my cars swirl marks detailed. Being a dark coloured car, and having the right products, I just can't seem to get rid of them.

No website afaik, but I'll post up pics here real soon of my 2nd GTR - pearl black.

2 grades of Menzerna polish were used...

> swirls and scratches gone

> Bob Barker, Daily Telegraph photoshoot

> Best Concours M Skaife Award at R34 GTR 21st

+1 what Terry said.

I bought my car off a dealer where Eugene does the detail work before sale. I was very happy with his skills and attention to detail. Sadly now I have to learn myself - so off to the SAU NSW detailing workshop organised by Terry :)

Eugene had changed his preference of Sealants from Zaino to Optima by this stage.

Hope this helps with your darker colour too Gary.

Thanks Terry. I'm thinking this product may help.

Those look like amazing results. I'm sorry this is off the thread topic but how do you detail the bumpers? I always just wash and shammy it, nothing else.

I use Malco Banana Wax to remove black soot from the bumpers rather than polish because it won't abrade the sealant. Eventually though, maybe once a year, I'd go back to polish > sealant > wax sequence

    • So, they admitted via message that they accidentally sent me a non Hella product. Then, hilariously, out of nowhere I get questioned about the legitimacy of my BMW intercooler for sale. This is the first *ever* enquiry in over 18 months. WIthin 8 mins of me telling "Total Engines" that I'd be reporting them for selling knock off's.
    • I don't know what it is supposed to look like, but I'd suggest confirming with Hella whether it is genuine. Some of the photos online do show parts with a Hella stamp on them. This looks sus.
    • Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad. 
    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
