Well for about 1 month, there wouldn't be any polishing action, paint too soft, but you can apply some wax.

As far as i know, you should stay clear of synthetic waxes or sealants, and go with a carnauba wax.

Reason being is that carnauba breathes, synthetic doesn't.

That was my understanding.

Hit up FI for some killer carnauba's...

Dodo is great new range of waxes available recently at FI.

Pete is pimpin' Onyx at the moment (swissvax)

Zymol has an $18,000 tub of wax if you're keen :)

not sure if you saw my post in the D.A. thread Marcus, but i'm sooo glad you took my advice to go get your car worked on by Damian. You could travel the country and possibly ship your car anywhere in the southern hemisphere and not find a better detailer :)

It's going to look stunning :ph34r: Stage 3? And please say you're getting a coat of Royale to finish it off? Nothing like finishing with a $18,000 coat of wax :wave:

Regarding FI, i read from the members only thread, SAU members have 5% discount off his services right? The other i went, Dammo said it's only 5% off DETAILING services and not a normal wash.

Can someone from the committee clarify this issue?

Apologies for the supporter post. It is true that the 5% discount only applies on detailing services.

Sorry for the confusion. Supporter thread has been updated.

FI is pretty darn good.

but so is my guy...and I have seen others also - its not rocket science.

A good detail and wax will last for a long time and is worth the $$...my last Zymol applciation lasted for ages..like 10 months but my car doesnt see much sun or weather.

Thinking of booking in here soon.

To cut a long story short, ended up stuck on a one way bush road that I couldnt reverse out of, so have minor scratches all along the side of my car from ferns and other plants >.<

Stage 3 should do the trick yeah?

Thanks for the kind words mate.

About the Zymol lasting 10months, that can't be right. Zymol Waxes are toatally organic, the natural carbauba in Royale (even with 3 coats) would last a maximum of 3 months. Even without driving the car or washing it, it would see a limited amount of time, possibly 6 months max.

Maybe the 'look' still lasts 10months later but the wax will defintely be spent.

Wax up now to protect that surface! ;)

Hope this helps, if you need anymore info let me know,

Oh Yeah, I've spoken to the Cafe Manager, Elise, we will now offer 5% off all wash & detailing services at FIAB now.

Present your card when you pay and we'll deduct the 5%.

Cheers guys, thanks for your support.

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
