Here is a collection of my favourite "after" shots of cars I have detailed in the last 3 or 4 months ( exterior only ). All freebie jobs basically ( does a carton of beer or more count as payment? :) ). A Mustang I did for a friend of a friend ( A 69' fastback I believe, but I am open to...

If anyone is interested in buying used clay, let me know and I will get a few pieces together for you with the details I have lined up in the next few weeks for $10/bar or I am willing to swap for new unused clay :rolling

I have read people who are frustrated with the constant battle to maintain the perfection of black or the difficulty of seeing a hazed product on white, but I have to say that metallic silver is by far the most painful colour for me personally. I have detailed a fair spectrum of different...

As an Australian on the Autopian boards, I felt that I should go ahead and do the righty and review this Australian detailing product. :) First up, the webiste. I believe they have a US based distributor as well so that is good news for the majority here at Autopia that may want to give it a...

I have a mates car (dark, slightly metallic maroon) that has vinyl graphics applied to it that he has asked me to detail for a car show. I have looked it over and for a 6 year old car it is not too bad. It has never been clayed :bigscream so it was kinda rough to the touch and clay will be my...

Had a few products on the black test bench this weekend, with still one to come. Products tested: SSR2.5 EX-P QuikShine Vanilla Moose Exceldetail edgeless MF's My basic process was QEW, clay, SSR2.5, Menzerna FP, VM and EX-P. Now my car is a company car, so I can always dictate...

Why do all my pics that I uploaded 2 days ago still have "pending approval" all over them? How long does this normally take? Hard to show off the results of my work this way.....

Not sure if you have this or an alternative in the US, but...... Its an interesting product I stumbled across here in Australia. While not a "detailing" product as such, this may be a good temporary protection product for highway trips, offroading etc to protect that "Autopian finsh" :cool...

Is there a Poorboys distributor in Australia or within the vicinity? As you are probably aware, shipping to Australia is a real killer, usually between US$25 - US$50. Makes detailing here an expensive proposition, so if I can cut out ( or reduce ) the frieght component it would be a huge bonus!

I have wandered over here from Autopia to have a bit of a look around and get some different perspectives on detailing. I am an Aussie, so it has cost me a small fortune so far to amass my arsenal of products, but you get that I guess! :-p There is a link to a picture of my car in my...

Will the man himself, Mike Phillips, be making an appearance here in Australia as an American expert at this Meguiars sponsered event? Meguiars MotorEx 2004 - Sydney

As the title implies, is WG fussy about the base on which it is layed? I have some due this week, but I didnt purchase the WG paint cleaner, insteading I was intending to use AIO. But I am now starting to think outside the box and I am considering the use of a glaze like GEPC or #7 ( VM is on...

Now I have Souveran, so is it worth my while to round out my collection with the above for light coloured cars, or should I just use the Souveran? So essentially is it all that with light colours like the Souveran is with dark colours?

It seems to be, from the few threads I have read about it, that FMJ is a remarkably good sealant that has "flown under the Autopia radar" so to speak. The durability aspect still seems to be up in the air a little, but on the face of it, the $40 asking price and lack of Autopian apprasial is...

I recieved my Pinnacle Souveran wax this week after purchasing some with the Autopia store discount ( cheers David :xyxthumbs ), still cost a packet to get it here to Australia, but I hope its worth the expense! ( Im sure it will be ) I am as keen as mustard to try it this weekend. Problem is...

I know of Poorboys SSR2.5 ( can you actually get this or is SSR2 the same stuff basically? ) as a possible alternative per Anthony O's testing results, but are there any others out there?? I am hoping to be able to get something locally ( Australia ), but if it comes down to it I will import...

After humming and harring for some time now, I went to the Meguiars distribution / sales warehouse here in Sydney to pick up some DACP ( I was searching for a local 1z UPP replacement and thought that it may be a touch more aggressive than my menzerna IP ). I looked around the small display...
