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.

Thanks David :). Was there the other day. He was a little shocked when i asked for the 5% discount off my wash :wave:

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.

  • 1 month later...

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,

d.

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.

    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
    • Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?
