Hey guys, Many years ago I carried out a very intensive detail on an F40, it has come back in for another and this was captured on video. I hope you find it enjoyable :)

Hi guys again from Australia. Here's one I worked on recently. Detail Addiction - Detail : FGX XR8 : Blue

Hey guys, I haven't posted in years! I'm constantly lurking around though :) This is what I got up to recently, thought some of you might enjoy. The detailing process consisted of 1-2 passes of CAP Heavy (version 3 which is a beta tester at the moment) on an Orange HD (High Density) pad. The...

What's the finest pad you've ever used. What have you used it with and why? I've tickled a car with a 100ppi pad but found it too fine and grippy? Edge White ftw so far for me.

Car was filthy, hadn't been washed for over 8 weeks, was testing out OCW (3 coats): OCW actually did very well for a spray wax. The car was a little rough but pretty good. We had many, many hot days over the last 8 weeks in Melbourne and the car wasn't touched, no...

The only one in Australia and what a car, the Pinnacle of Japanese sports cars. The car was a very good example so not a terrible amount of work was needed. I completed a Stage 3 detail yesterday, sealed with Z2pro and today will be topped with SwissVax Mystery (those pics to come later on)...

My customer went and raced a solid black porsche with a brilliant white interior. I know, I know, pics... Dust and metal filings everwhere, stuck to ever crevice. Before: After: General Interior marks from boots etc. Before: After: Before: After...

This 430kw beast is obviously tracked, had a bit of paint damage, the worst being a few areas where a dog had jumped onto it and scratched it and stone chips on the front bar and around the wheel arches. The wheels were also in need of some attention and the paint had the usual nasty...

There are three different types. Any of them contain fillers?

Holes, Oil Leaks, Dents, Engine Noises - and crappy clearcoat. I love Holdens warm Devil Yellow, but the paint quality is rubbish and doesn't hold up to Aussie Conditions very well. Not all colours just Red & Yellow. This was an easy but time consuming job. The paint had holograms and...

This one was a slight rectification of a dealer detailed vehicle and also to provide paint & leaher protection. The car suffered from polish stuck in crevices and minor holograms and swirls. Paintwork:

Before:

One of the best i've ever done http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=492 All rotary polishing and various polishes, Optimum, Menzerna etc. lsp was Polylack and Zaino Z8 which I think helps acrylic sealants. Cheers, Damain.

Here is a Black 156 selespeed I detailed a couple of weeks ago, lsp is AIO and Seal topped with P21S today (2 weeks later). http://www.pixelstreak.com/finalinspection/Alfa-Romeo-156-Jet-Black I had to cut the car with a Black Foam Edge pad and Powergloss to remove most of the heavy...

Flash off: Flash on (such great clarity - awesome flake shot): Nice flake where the Rear Bar meets the Quarter Panel: Great Reflection: Great Reflection again, (check out the reflection in the flat part of the quarter panel): Rear Door is not waxed with Vintage: I...

How many of you guys are taking your detailing to the enthusiast level? I mean, you are reading Autoipia so obviously you are interested, but are you spending the hours on your pride & joy on the weekends? Damian.

Hi guys, Did this today for a customer who has taken photos himself: Damian.

Hey guys, Some pics of a Black A4 I detailed recently for one of my customers. I had to cut the side of it very heavily (lambswool, then foam) to remove scratches caused by the customers bicycle being dragged along the side of it.: Side Shot: Hood Shot (inside garge) - After Polish...

Hey guys, Did a buff job on this A3 for a friend of mine a couple of months ago, wondering what you thought. I used Menzerna products with Meguiars pads and topped it with Zaino. Before Pics: Sorry about the watermarks, there have been issues with people 'borrowing'...

Hey guys, New guy so be gentle. I do top-end detailing and have been for 8 years now, I'm based in Melbourne which is probably a little far away from you guys, I guess that's good for the guys here worried about competition. I do mostly refinishing, especially black or very dark coloured...
