did you win the car show award with stock wheels?

[r33madd]

ya paint looks mint dude i love the look of a fresh wax.

[Silent]

Haha yeah , I won best import . They were so impressed with the fiberglass work and the kit was faultless!

[thrtytwo]

'best import' what was it ? a commy show ?

[Silent]

funny barstad

[kursed]

schmiko! can't believe you won with stock rims, I guess its a testiment to how good the bodywork is then if they can overlook wheels in the process considering how many show cars have crazy expensive rims on them while in shows.

have you considered trying to get sponsorship from a wheel shop or something?

[Silent]

No mate I hadnt crossed my mind, How do i go about doing that?

I just borrowed one of those MOTHER hand buffing machine - FARKING BRILLIANT.

Did the GTR and the Liberty over the long weekend - and what a great result.

I will be buying one of these gems this week/next week as they do making a shit job quite simple and easy.

Cant recommend them highly enough. Seriously one of the must haves if your serious about keeping your car tip top.

Just make sure you keep those pads free of grime! I dont like them all that much cause of swirl marks. Best done by hand unless you are cutting the paint.

[Silent]

O there about 160$, Pads are aboput 16$ to replace. If your doing the mothers propertly use the three steps.

1. Wax Cleaner/Removes Oxidation

2. Sealer and Glaze

3. Pure Carnaubra Waz

4. Showtime instant Detailer

Go to bunnings and buy 3x 3 packs of microfiber cloths.

Use the 2 cloths for each of the coats, one to apply one to remove! Keep turning your cloth around also. I cant stress this enough using different cloths for each stage.

Allow the wax to dry on the surface before removing, it has to marry to the surface. Other wise you are wasting your time and money. Dont be shy with the last coat of wax wipe it on so theres a lovley covering. Theres really no need to rub it in just so it coveres all the surface.

Be patient allow a good day for this. Always make sure your car is washed

before you do this!
