[Manne]

They're trying to charge me double the quote....

[colin.ssc]

So they didn't call you to say their bill is going to go over the quote? Hmm, that's rude. Why is it so high?

Storage fees cos they have had it so long?

[Manne]

I talked them down to the original quote. The reason it was so high was because the door kyp supplied was in really bad condition (according to uneeda) he documented the repairs (as per my request, I said anything you charge me for I want to see a photo of). He claims that they spent 5 days panel beating the door just to get it to fit. The Respray is good. The colour match is perfect. Will I go back? No. The job might be good but their work ethic is crap. They should have called me and told me about all of these issues and let me decide if I wanted them to keep working on it or not. Plus they went 5 weeks over-time. 

[colin.ssc]

5 weeks? Shit. Didn't realise it's been that long. Now I'm gonna hassle the guys about my car haha

[Manne]

Yeah. Its been a while.  What's going on with your car? 

[t_revz]

Wow 5 weeks over. Didn't think it was that long

[Manne]

Yeah well the Original Quote was 1 Week if they could find a door. It took them 3 weeks to find a door, which I ended up finding for them, and then two weeks to get the door on the car. Now seeing how banged up the door was when they picked it up (almost looked like a different door), it makes sense... but oh well.

The way I see it is, the car is back in my hands, and fixed. Now I need to save some money, and once i'm back in my 'green' zone, I will continue to work on it.

Wake up WA

thanks trev would have slept in otherwise, morning all 

[Manne]

Morning. So, now that i have my car back. I'm going to clay, cut and polish it. Starting with the hood and seeing how I go. This is really an experiment to see what results I get. The hood is covered in bird poo burn and numerous other stains, so... Let's get started

Oh and Trev...I *could* wash your car/s for some shekels.

for some reason it keeps doubling the attatchments, no idea why.

[colin.ssc]

You missed a spot

[Manne]

nah. Those are rock chips. I probably removed the stains by 50% and on the right angles they're not noticeable. But they're still there.

 

I should mention the process I used was (in this order).

 Wash --> Clay --> Cut --> Polish --> Wax, and then I sprayed some Maguires "quick detailer" on top.

It took roughly one hour, just on the Hood alone.
