$500 all up.

Cut and polish

Swirl removal

Stone chip touchups

Over buff mark removal

Full interior vacuum and window clean

It looks like a million bucks now. All the faded blemishes in some places are completely gone now. Paint looks deep and smoother than a baby's ass.

That photo was taken with my pocket point and click. It doesn't do any justification. You have to see it in person to really appreciate how well it's come up.

Where are you taking your car to get tinted? I had mine removed when I got a blueslip because it was too dark, so that's probably next on the to do list.

I went to tint-a-car in Flinders St. and it was only $80 to get it removed. The guy that served me there owns a R32 GTR V-spec. Top bloke and everyone I talked to there knew what they were talking about.

They quoted me about $380 for a full new tint. They recommended I get the "Formula 1" tint which would look better than the 'darkest legal' tint (looks lest filmy).

Taking it to Koolatint down Bomaderry, got quoted $250 plus a little more for removal of old "tint" if you can call it that from the rear window. (eg. another 20 or so, I think). Been highly recommended to me by other people down that way.

I spoke to SolarShade in Albion Park rail, they said $260 for tint with 10 year warranty, or $340 I think it was with lifetime.

Told ya he does a great job

+1000 internetz for Tristan! :P

Here are some more photos taken just before sunset at Port Kembla beach. No matter what angle I did it at, shots turned out a bit glarish lol.

For sure. I live in upper Berkeley so yeah Port is only a few minutes drive away. What about you?

Are you going on the Kirrawee to Austinmer cruise this Sunday?

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
