I do my own car washes, but I think I'm due for a full cut and polish.

I don't trust myself to do it in case I screw up the paint work so I want to get it done professionally.

Never been to a detailing place before, but I have found a few places around here in Wollongong.

Not sure which one to goto though, so was wondering where people have gone to before and what were the results like?

Also, would you go back there again?

How much did they charge you and what did you get done exactly?

When I imported my skyline I got it detailed at Evershine Car Detailing in Dapto

20 Hamilton St

2530 Dapto NSW

Phone: (02) 4261 5424

They did a full cut and polish and also some paint touch ups etc..... I can't remember the exact work & figure, because it was back in 2003 I think, Fark.....7yrs ago I bought that car!

Maybe around $3-400 off the top of my head. I haven't been back since, but only because I've had no need. But I would go back there if I did need too.

Next door to W.A.S, kons brother is the best, go past and see what he has in there and that'll make your mind up

Next to Wollongong automotive services you say?

Are they in Auburn street? Do you have the exact address? I cant seem to find them..

I've just been to W.A.S today after work and they said I can take my car in on Monday morning :ermm: It was just near HangDog as you said Owen :)

They said it will cost between 200-$500 depending on how far I want to go with it, step by step. Will take a couple days apparently. Buffing, get rid of swirls, paint chips, blemishes and any other marks.

He said whoever buffed it last didn't do a great job as there are some buff marks in some places and its had some resprays in some areas in its time. Also looks like the boot has had a bit of over spray aswell.

Can you get some before and after photos using a DSLR?

Sure thing :ermm:

Buffing won't get rid of chips because there's no paint there to polish. If you can feel the chip or scratch with your fingernails, it's pretty deep.

yeah, he'll be touching it up with paint.

Might be too late for that. I just said I heard about W.A.S on the skyline Australia forum lol. They seemed to know what I was talking about.

Will let you know the results tomorrow arvo!

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
