This car was done three weeks ago & compared to the GT-R35 it was a walk in the park,it had scratches, but nowhere near as bad as the GT-R35 :bunny:

One day was spent correcting the paint and this time it wasn't a black car :banana: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Hi Mario,

Great job! Hands sore?

Do you use clay bar at all?

Perhaps the better Q is what process did you follow?

Cheers Mate, T

:/ Terry !

Hands were sore as a matter of fact ! I did use a clay bar because paint didn't feel that smooth, i used the new Flex XC 3401 VRG DA with Lake Country Orange 6.5" Buffing Pads . The machine was used at full speed at all times ! Finished off with Wurth Paint Sealant .

Regards Mario

Hi Mario,

On all your posts/threads, you are very constructive and helpful. You are to be complimented on this !!

And I'm real glad that you supplied a pic of your van - because then I realised what you did for a living!

Stupid me when I first came across one of your posts for the first time... I thought that you might be a Dr from Poland> Er Um Lol

Beautiful, Well Done Mario.

I see that this car is currently up for sale so, whats your personal opinion of the car?

Would like to hear your feedback.

PM me.

Cheers.

I have sent you a PM !

Regards Mario

Hi Mario

Looks fantastic - how much roughly for a job like this?

Also are you only based out of Vic or do you have employees in NSW, etc?

:D

I am based in Melbourne (SE Suburbs ) but i do travel even interstate !

I will be in NSW ( Sydney ) on August 31st ! I have a meeting and a job booked for that month ,going into September ! :D

Without seeing your car i can only give you an estimate from $ 400 upwards ! That's just for the paint ( Paint Correction for the removal of scratches and swirl marks and other paint defects ! These jobs normally take a whole day but there are times when they can take two days !

What colour is your car ? Is it a metallic colour or solid colour ?

So i will be in Sydney end of August ! PM if you are interested ! Or call me on my mobile 0419 881 439

Regards Mario :(

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 months later...
Woh, $400 to buff a car...wish we got that much...

One whole day to do this job ! Sometimes two ! If i do ever come to NSW i will need a 50% deposit before i even move from Melbourne !

Regards Mario :)

was it just a one stage correction (after the prep)? ie, 1 polish product with the orange pad?

you seem to like the Wurth sealant, can't say i'm familiar with the product. Is it a glaze?

any chance of full sun shots?

Im interested

how abrasive do you go with the polish? guess it would depend on depth of the swirls/scratches etc; do u use an ultrasonic depth gauge to check thickness of the clear coat

post polish do you finish with a glaze before paint protection and what type of protection do you use; polymer or organic waxes?

My cars black and ive spent alot of time detailing but im not confident enough to use an abrasive polish and orbital polisher.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
