Rodger turned up with all his gear and he spent from 9am till past 6pm on my car..

the paintwork had been washed by idiots during the life of the car so it had a huge

amount of spider web scratching all over, and a few deeper scratches to boot.

The results were amazing, as he said, "better than new".

Check it out..

He charged $450 which yeah it is steep, but he knows his stuff and gave the car

more attention than we expected it would need at the outset, so I think I got a

break on the price given the hours he spent. All the trim was taped up first, he

removed the spoiler. The whole nine yards.

if you use him tell him you saw the black skyline on SAU. I don't get any benefit from

this, just want to thank him for the work.

thats good. so please tell the work that he did from 9 am to 6pm? detailed with black paint and a brush? few layers of cream plus a couple buffs? did you have any scratches on your car down to the metal or were all the "spiderweb" scratches just in the layer of clear on top of the paint?

cheers

No black paint..

I'm summarizing but basically wash with new microfiber, then rinse, then clay bar,

then re-wash and re-rinse, then tape up all the trim, then use Xpert 1000 ultra polish

then Xpert 1500 polish, then machine pad glaze, then hand Xpert titanium paint sealant

and finally a carnuba wax. Somewhere in here obviously also interior, tires and alloys,

oh and all the glass which was fairly well covered with the usual plastics out-gassing haze..

its a lot of different chemicals towels, waxes and pads. hard to justify the expense of

doing this oneself because of all the crap you have to buy, including the high power light

rig etc. I like washing my own car as much as anyone, and can stretch to a wash and a

couple of layers of wax on a lazy afternoon -- but not further than that.

I do believe the base charge was $110! Well worth it in my opinion, do you see how shiny the damn brace is haha. Anyways he charged me extra due to the call out since I do live quite far away but I still was damn happy with the job and will call him to do the rest of my car.
