Recommended A Good Detailer In Melbourne?

[dezz]

I'm all for recommending someone you're happy with, but as Ruffels put it, I see it as ignorant to say they're the best in Australia, The Southern Hemisphere etc...Not saying he's not great at what he does, and i'll more than likely be taking my car there in the future, just saying...

seem your point guys, i just think that sometimes you find someone in a particular profession who has taken it to another level with both their skill and passion for their job.

car is under dust cover in garage,

you've already scratched the car, hopefully not too bad

IOWNU, there would be very cars fews in good enough condition to warrant a Stage 1. There is a lot of work involved in detailing a car properly, and even though a car can look glossy enough after a wash, most people have scratched/swirled/marked the clearcoat enough that Stage 2 or higher would be required.

Is $150K for a R35 GTR a fair price? Some people would think paying $100K+ for a Datsun is retarded, but then others would be quick to point out that the car is almost $300k cheaper than a slower 997, 911 GT2, so is the price fair then?

He should and could charge way more than he does, but he doesn't. So be happy with the prices you get, because if you asked any detailer to takes the same steps he does with your car 1) that wouldn't know what you're talking about most the time 2) they would quickly realise how much work that would involve and charge you accordingly.

The other thing though, is what sort of finish are you looking for? More depth of colour, better clarity? completely defect free?? I mean if you're happy for the car to still have marks in the clear, albeit very slight ones, then maybe you could get away with a Stage 1. Stage 1 being roughly/approximately 1 pass done by a machine polisher. It doesn't matter who you are though, 1 pass by a machine polisher is NOT going to remove everything single mark/defect, end of story. But if you just want to spruce up the paint a bit, then by all means. Just depends what you're after

As i said, pics of cars and i can give you an idea of how bad it is.
