Any tips for someone dabbling in detailing their own cars micko?

Get yourself a cheap Random orbital polisher. You can't damage your paint with 1! 

Get yourself some orange pads and some HD apapt. This stuff cuts quite heavy defects but is also a diminishing compound so the cutting agents actually break down as they are worked. Unless your car is seriously munted this stuff will work great and will finish down to a nice mirror finish ?

Decontaminating & Preparing your car for sealing is the key to making your wax or coating last as long as possible ?

So heres how she finished up.

I sealed her up with Angelwax Ti-22 titanium paint sealant followed up with Angelwax Dark Angel. Then i threw a coat of Kamikaze overcoat on it. 

Pics do it no justice. Kamikaze products are amazing!

      You could have a chat to these guys and empty your bank account, I like their de-stroked 2.5 combo. https://esslingeracing.com/mazda-4-v-per-cylinder-4-cyl-engines/mzr-2-5l

      Sorry I'm late to this, but if you're still looking or for others who happen upon this, pretty sure these are what you're(and I'm) after.....   https://www.kmakaero.com.au/r32-skyline-gtr-rear-spats-for-gtr   https://www.obsessionr.com/products/muse-japan-bnr32-n1-type-rear-spat-set   I'm personally interested in the Muse set, as they are also made out of ABS instead of fibreglass.

      If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
