Your Detailing Results - Picture Thread

[ARTZ]

Here's one I tried some AMMO on Matt...personal project I've been working on, I spent the best part of three days with the polisher on most of the major panels...but bumpers ,mirrors are too faded and will require repainting though when I get some time so i wont to bother show pics of them...Unfortunately with the lighting conditions of my carport and the 23 yr old paint, its near impossible to get every scratch out...but its close ...

Has a few layers of skin and 1 of creme atm, but i think my favourite so far has to be the hydrate.....its very enjoyable to use for everyday detailing duties

Good stuff mate. AMMO is great to use and the results speak for themselves. To really get it to pop, keep applying the skin and Creme.

Another GT-R in progress.

What did you use to remove those swirls JDM??

[ARTZ]

You need a polisher Shane..Then pretty much any polishing compuond will work to get swirls out...

Picked up some IronX a couple weeks back, had heard some pretty good things about it and wasnt disappointed!

Start with some pretty filthy wheels

Spray and leave for a few minutes

Then clean off

And finished with some Poorboys wheel sealant and also Poorboys tyre gel

[SABBAi]

Good wheel cleaning/protection combo you have there. Great results.

Only used meguires next gen car wash, And a soft wax to finish. Will throw up some photos of my 34 when i get a chance. But seriously your hobby should become a profession on the side at least, Amazing results.

Pretty much my first real attempt at detailing and polishing, did it on my new home respray job on my track car.

Used a super cheap DA polisher then scholls s3 gold for cutting and s30+ for polish as recomended from Antonio from waxit and I'm very happy how well the product works no mess at all! Car was rubbed down with 2000grit wet after spray before cut and polishing it.

Looks like it came up pretty good

I've got a couple of panels here i've meen meaning to have a crack at but i've got no idea, what process/steps did you use? (sand > clean > primer > paint > clear > sand > polish) etc.

Quick wash and clay, followed by testing out Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on the lip. Came up heaps better but definitely more to go. Spent probably 20 minutes just on the lip of this one, need a hell of a lot of elbow grease.

Process was basically get thd body dtraight since it was completly damaged both sides so alot of oxy and body filler lol but then it was final sand , primer, 800 grit sand, fill any holes with putty, sand putty with 400, then primer over putty areas, sand 800 again, paint, then sand 2000 , cut, polish.

I didnt use a clear since its a solid colour and also its going to be constantly repaired and touched up so makes it easier with no clear. In saying that i consoder my process a rough job if you want to go step further after paint sand down with 1200 then 1500 then 2000 folowed by cut polish will give a perfect finish but takes considerably longer since that last sanding process takes the longest.

Is this the AMMO stuff you guys keep referring to, Is there a local supplier?

[Mavric]

Hi Nicr4wks,

I was running with the distribution of AMMO in Australia.

Unfortunattly when it was first released we were not seeing a high enough volume and shipping was too expensive for our volumes.

I would suggest that the cheapest option would be for you to purchase directly from the ammo website.

You will find that the cost of the suff online is the same price if not cheaper

Cheers,

Matt

Hi, I did not take any before shots , this car was in a garage for 5 years and I think it must have had holes in the roof, the water etchings were really deep and took forever to get the crap out.

Going to wax it when it get it back from the workshop
