First off the EVO. Did this one 2 weeks ago. Recently imported from Japan, but this was quite a routine detail, with no big surprises. Mostly light swirls and a few slightly deeper scratches. Also removed some stickers at owner's request so it's probably a little slower for it. :) No before...

Friend just imported it for track purposes. As with all imports, it was a mess. Fresh off the boat and I had to deal with it. Dirrrty (and ugly). I was told "most of the paint's ok, just on the spoiler it's a bit iffy". Once I saw it I knew my weekend was gone. Badly oxidised...

Looking for a place where I can order some of this stuff. Duragloss site doesn't seem to ship overseas. Anybody know? Also willing to Paypal someone who can help me get it. :)

2004 Holden Monaro aka Pontiac GTO. Did this one on Saturday. Was in pretty good condition, with the usual swirls and a few bird bomb marks. Less than 2 years old, but odometer already reads 70k. My Metabo rotary kept cutting out because of the heat (I think) so I did most of the first...

15 year old Toyota Soarer. Parked outside on the street, washed only at DIY car washes. Brush swirls were obvious. I gave him some advice but not much he can do as he can't wash at home. Also plenty of etched watermarks, bird bomb etchings and even clearcoat failure. What we did: Wash and...

So far I've been using mainly 6"/6.5" pads on the rotary. In your experience, are larger 8" pads easier or more difficult to use?

Last detail of the year. Took about 6 hours and the weather wasn't the best. Was hot and sunny at the beginning so I had to wash it in the garage with QEW and at the end the sun was hiding behind the clouds which were letting off some light drizzle. A couple of before pics: Besides...

Paint was in bad shape. 11 years old with lots of stone chips, swirls and oxidation. Didn't polish either bumper as paint was peeling. Weather was good, about 70 degrees and lots of sunshine. Tried SSR3 and 2.5 but decided not to continue with them in the end. Optimum compound still doesn't...

Handles like a boat. Goes like a boat. Even stops like a boat. :eek: Anyway, 2-day detail. Interior saturday, exterior sunday. Here's a couple of pics of it after I brought it back on Friday night. Paint was full of dirt but not too rough (not driven much), still showing signs of...

My order with UPPS arrived last week, I gave it a spin this weekend and to be honest I expected more but to be fair it is a good product on its own. Was doing a detail and after polishing, I applied UPPS. Goes on nice and easy, just like most QDs. Part of the car was left in the sun and...

Was a long, HOT day for me yesterday doing a friend's mini. Start with pics of before: Ze Bird Bomb Ze Swirls, that thing stuck on the roof left a tiny yellow stain which I wasn't able to remove. :/ Ze dirt. Ze engine. Surprisingly the cleanest part of the car. Simple...

Used this twice now on 2 different cars. Dare I say it, it's a lot like Z8. A spray sealant with light QD properties. It goes on very nicely. Doesn't matter if the paint has a sealant or carnauba, it still finishes up super slick. Works just as well on glass and wheels and smells pretty good...

Well, Ghetto to me anyway. Done a while ago, just posting it up now. Never used so much Armor All, and it was hard not having any MFs. Story is, my family is from Brunei. I live and work in Australia, and my Dad lives and works in Egypt with my Mom. So this car's been quite neglected for a...

I'm thinking about ordering some Pink Wax so thought I'd try out some of their sealants as well. Can anyone recommend something? I don't mind something with cleaners in it, as long as I know about it. I read that their sealants can be layered immediately so I'm keen to try this out. Will...

Yes it's spring in Australia! Anyway, just a quick wash but car looked pretty good after S&G and the owner wanted to take a few pics. Thought I'd post them up. Current LSP is Blue Natty's which is about 2 months old now. Was applied during winter so it's past the better part of its life...

Wow lots of Hondas all of a sudden. Start with an after pic: A Red Integra, probably the nicest colour, imo. We don't have Acuras here. Friend just got back from overseas, and his car needed a wash. So I offered to detail it. Usually gets cleaned at a car wash cafe, so the normal...

Just tried this out today. First off, it's a very thick liquid wax. You could package this in a can and call it a soft paste wax. Was difficult to get it from the bottle to the pad. Applied very easily via foam pad. It takes a moderate amount to cover a car. I guesstimate it took about 25ml...

First of all, big ups to Nick at AG Group Australia for the Polylack samples. Start with some pics: Doesn't look too bad. Look closer: bird bombs and tree sap. Wheels: Some dirt: And of course, some swirls: Process: Wash Clay (this car was a nightmare, took...

Thought I'd fool around and try Z8 on some non-Zaino LSPs, just for the heck of it. I hope I don't set off any Zaino fans. I like Zaino products myself, but wanted to see how Z8 does on other LSPs. Start off with the Magna. Much like mine, same paint colour and similar wheels. Current owner...

Been wanting to try this product. Anyone know where I can order this online and have it shipped to me in Australia? Or should I not bother since I already have Zaino and UPP?
