hi guys i need some help

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

cheers Nick

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

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
