S A U - N S W Tech Night 21St Feb - Detailing

[GTR-N1]

Makita random orbital on special atm at Sydney Tools Dulwich Hill for $169 according to brochure Owen

[PN-Mad]

The one at the night is 550 from Sydney tools. Pretty serious investment.

Why don't you check out waxit, forum trader. They have some good kits available with pads, polishes, and a Random orbital included.

[God_speed]

Yeah I have bought from Waxit.com.au before, great service and products

[PN-Mad]

Sorry, I should say, you can buy the random orbital by itself, and use the products from the guys at motor active. Bit of poor form telling you to go somewhere else.....

[Pezhead]

I've been thinking of that R.O. from WaxIt. I think it is about $300 with 3 pads, wool, foam cutting and foam polish. Would sure make doing a whole car a whole lot easier.

[oweban]

Yeah, I saw Sydney Tools - I think I'll be visiting them soon.

Heres my car after going through the exact process that Owens bonnet went through as promised! Only cam phone pics btw,But damn its hard work by hand! Need that orbital lol!

[G3TFKD]

Looking good!!!

Don't worry, it feels like you have accomplished more once you are done when you have done it by hand.

[Pezhead]

Looks very good! Good job..

D: that's exactly what I want at the moment... yellow evo 9

[Mick_o]

Thanks guys

[Mick_o]

Haha I wanted a white evo but this was too good a buy to let it slip so I settled for yellow

[God_speed]

Looks great Mick

Probably should see in the flesh to truly appreciate it though! Any "before" pics?

As Matt said on the night there are fewer worries with a non-metallic clearcoat paintjob as well as swirl marks aren't as obvious. But it's great knowing you put in the hard yards to get that level of finish

[Mick_o]

Thanks Matty I do have befores but it actually looks shinier lol but its not in the flesh though. Hopefully if the weather is good this weekend I will see you on the charity cruise Sunday

[God_speed]

Haha no worries, even if it rains a bit on Sunday your paint is now more *hydrophobic*

to use one of detailer Matt's terms

[Mick_o]

Haha yeah will be there rain or shine BUT not hail

Was it just me or did Matt look slightly like the hoff? Lol he was a good fella though

Ahh, same Mick_O on the evoOz build thread I'm following lol

Do want that toxicfab manifold

[Pezhead]

Here's my update from what I learned at the Tech night. Been playing with that 3M Carbon DiNoc film. Practicing before I try to tackle the roof.

[GTR-N1]

I saw you walk away from MotorActive towards your car with a spring in your step Eric > You knew exactly what you were going to do with that wrap!

Love the "Yama-Shita" motif

Haha yeah mate that's me can't wait for all my goodies to turn up! The toxic fab manifold is a nice bit of gear Dave I scored it for a Damn good price too lol!

Love the rims on your car Eric I think I'm gunna put them on the evo but in black. The wraps looking good too
