Here's one I tried some AMMO on Matt...personal project I've been working on, I spent the best part of three days with the polisher on most of the major panels...but bumpers ,mirrors are too faded and will require repainting though when I get some time so i wont to bother show pics of them...Unfortunately with the lighting conditions of my carport and the 23 yr old paint, its near impossible to get every scratch out...but its close ...

Has a few layers of skin and 1 of creme atm, but i think my favourite so far has to be the hydrate.....its very enjoyable to use for everyday detailing duties :)

Start with some pretty filthy wheels

Pretty much my first real attempt at detailing and polishing, did it on my new home respray job on my track car.

Used a super cheap DA polisher then scholls s3 gold for cutting and s30+ for polish as recomended from Antonio from waxit and I'm very happy how well the product works no mess at all! Car was rubbed down with 2000grit wet after spray before cut and polishing it.

my new home respray job on my track car.

Looks like it came up pretty good :thumbsup:

I've got a couple of panels here i've meen meaning to have a crack at but i've got no idea, what process/steps did you use? (sand > clean > primer > paint > clear > sand > polish) etc.

Quick wash and clay, followed by testing out Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on the lip. Came up heaps better but definitely more to go. Spent probably 20 minutes just on the lip of this one, need a hell of a lot of elbow grease.

Process was basically get thd body dtraight since it was completly damaged both sides so alot of oxy and body filler lol but then it was final sand , primer, 800 grit sand, fill any holes with putty, sand putty with 400, then primer over putty areas, sand 800 again, paint, then sand 2000 , cut, polish.

I didnt use a clear since its a solid colour and also its going to be constantly repaired and touched up so makes it easier with no clear. In saying that i consoder my process a rough job if you want to go step further after paint sand down with 1200 then 1500 then 2000 folowed by cut polish will give a perfect finish but takes considerably longer since that last sanding process takes the longest.

C'mon dude where's the photo of your reflection in the paintwork....anything can look shiny from a distance. :rofl:

loll kind of ran out of time and and no good lighting at the time ended up finishing the job at like 4am took those couple of pics then onto the trailer and drift event next day, now its dirty again, will get some closeups after i wash it next time.

Hi Nicr4wks,

I was running with the distribution of AMMO in Australia.

Unfortunattly when it was first released we were not seeing a high enough volume and shipping was too expensive for our volumes.

I would suggest that the cheapest option would be for you to purchase directly from the ammo website.

You will find that the cost of the suff online is the same price if not cheaper

Cheers,

Matt

Hi, I did not take any before shots , this car was in a garage for 5 years and I think it must have had holes in the roof, the water etchings were really deep and took forever to get the crap out.

Going to wax it when it get it back from the workshop :yes:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
