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 :)

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.

my new home respray job on my track car.

Looks like it came up pretty good :thumbsup:

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.

C'mon dude where's the photo of your reflection in the paintwork....anything can look shiny from a distance. :rofl:

loll kind of ran out of time and and no good lighting at the time ended up finishing the job at like 4am took those couple of pics then onto the trailer and drift event next day, now its dirty again, will get some closeups after i wash it next time.

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 :yes:

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
