Ive got a bit a cash and wanna spruce up my car a bit, its got some paint damage on one side that i want to get fixed up and various swirl marks etc, it looks like someone has been grinding around my car because on one side the paint has tiny little orange marks on it like tiny specs of rust, can this be removed buy just cut and polish or wud u need another clear coat or something

im after some gud detailing places that can do the full treatment, not just wash and a couple of layers of polish etc, ive done a search and most of the posts where from a few years back so i thought id ask

yeah mate those orange marks are specs of metal that have melted into ur clear coat. now its probably turned orange cause of specs rusting.

most panel beaters do a thing called a Compound Wax. i think i got quoted 200 or something like that for the whole car..

but hey ring around/ask around. u might get a cheaper price.

hope it helps

I ran into a mate today thats doing car detailing now and he said he has got this polish that works better than anything he ever seen , but i cant remember the name i will check with him. He just found out yesterday that it's the polish they used on all the cars for the fast and furiuos movies. I going to try it i will let u no how it goes.

it's called industrial fall out, was called out to a job on a new Audi Q7 a week after it was delivered as the rear tailgate was littered with spots everywhere, can be removed.

pm me if you want details etc, cheers

p.s - thanks Dan

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
