[sniffy]

hehe sorry...misstaken you for someone who cares for his car...j/k

if your really worried, take it to a guy who works at a spray shop, see what he thinks

[sniffy]

[Horus]

If you want a good cut and polish go to Ajay Motors in Richmond, my dad knows the owner, and they are the guys who fixed up my tranny recently, and they also do performance work btw

bit off topic, but i remember last years MAS, i saw some dick snap the R bit off the GTR badge on the stagea...

dunno how he did it, but he pulled at it and it looked busted afterwards...

Dale.

we are all thinking (for entrants) to get together on Thurs nite or something at a big car wash somewhere and we all go over all the cars that are competing...

Kinda like a BIG bonding session

And we can all go over each others cars/etc and get them looking nice.

Just hope it doesn't rain on friday

But Thurs we do interiors also for dust/cleaning and stuff aswell as the outsides !!!!

but then if it does rain... just a light wash fri arvo will fix it all.

well i did mine myself.

and it came out killer. not a scratch in it.

it like a different car now.

i used Meguires car stuff. it worked really well.

i give them 10/10 and its clear coat safe

[R31Nismoid]

mmm. I use Meguirs *sp too.

it costs a bit but it is by far the best stuff on the market.

don't bother getting anything else IMHO. all the other brands are crap.

[Raza]

thats true

i even gave it a wax.. it looks killer

i cant stop talking about.. hahahahhaha

[Raza]

it looks that good i should of entered it in MAS..hahahaa

[R31Nismoid]

aint used the wax yet...

i use the hand polish... (takes ages) and then it looks so good just with that!

Can you do wax after polish? Or not???

I might use wax also if you can

[Raza]

wax is good only to prevent light scratches.

and gives it a good shine.

polish gives it a smooth finish.

[Raza]

but wot ive been told by a panel beater is that if u plan to get the car resprayd wax gives them a very hard time gettin off.

i just think he was a lazy panel beater. and a dodgy 1 as well

he stuffed my 4x4 up a bit

[EnricoPalazzo]

3M polish is better then any meguires

[Guest RedLineGTR]

theres another brand that works sweet as well..bit more expensive than meguires but does a better job with less the effort...using two products the paint came out feeling as smooth as glass, i was suprised myself...

[Guest RedLineGTR]

3M is the shit too...anyone know where to get it from, pm me if anyones knows..

[R31Nismoid]

i might not have my car back on thurs...

but i'll still come to help out!

But if i have mine beck i'll be happier!

Meguires you can pick up from Kmart

That Merguires wax is the shitz.. I did few bits of my car, and its amazing. Smells really funky too, like bannanas or something - i just wanted to lick it .. lol

The wax made a big difference to the overall finish and result.. when you take off with a whole bunch of rain on it.. it just slides off..

While not being cheap, I just had my car cleaned, detailed & polished at Protech in Bayswater for a HPI shoot... They did an awesome job and the car came up really well.

Cheers,

I got a quote from VIP car care, Full detail is $157 which includes C&P, interior / exterior - the works basically. Quote is $145 without 'cutting'. The guy in my area is fully booked this week anyways [not surprised].

I may or may not get a full detail though...looking at cheaper options atm
