Hi Everyone,

Thought it would be good to start a thread where everyone can post up pictures of their detailing results.

To kick off, here's a 50/50 from the bonnet of an MX5 I restored over the weekend.

Cheers.

MX5 main correction performed with numerous passes of M105 post wet sand.

Heres a few shots from a completed R32 GTR detail, also performed last weekend with Menzerna products.

Looking forward to seeing some pics from you guys.

Cheers.

Im interested too ! Do you own a detailing business ? your work is amazing !

Hey mate what did you use on the rear of the r23 to get of all the black soot?

Second this

Hi mate, wet sand + any heavily abrasive compound should remove contaminants and restore clarity for you.

Thanks guys, more of a hobby for me at present however have been considering opening a business when time allows.

If keen, shoot me a PM and i'll keep you posted.

Good stuff mate.

Love the before and after shots.

Car detailing involves a lot of attention to detail (obviously :P), having the right tools and accessories but above all a lot of patience and commitment.

Now that I have seen this, I am going to attempt to restore my crappy headlights on my Ford POS :w00t::miner:

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
