Detailed a VP Calais last night..

[savage1987]

well not really a full detail, just a quick (and I do mean quick) paint polish.. Went from a very ordinary paint job to something really quite presentable
















Reflects a lot better in person, I blame crappy lighting and a phone camera ;-)

Nice paint job too

Think you need to invest in a better camera so you can show off you skills better

[Morton]

a camera that makes your car look like this, for example:

[savage1987]

Wagon_Wheel, you are absolutely right. I don't know the first thing about cameras though.. snapping photos off with the phone in my only free hand probably didn't help my cause either haha

[wrx884]

looks awsome man despite using the phone lol i got the VT back 2day 2 n guess wat all they did was detail parts of the roof as u suggested there r a couple scratches that u can still see but i think i'll have 2 live with it ay but now ive got parts from where u started the other day and his so we'll have 2 tee up a day 2 do a full detail somtime man.

[Haydz]

looks like you know what your doing and done a done a good job for that guy if thats a quick go id love to see the full detail

[savage1987]

Thanks guys, Haydz yeah I can easily spend a full day on the paintwork of a car but that costs a fair bit as you can imagine.. it's just a matter of how fussy I am

couple of better quality pics

Looks good man, why the ACT plates?
Also do you remove marks that general washing cannot remove? eg my VR has a few black marks that look like a bit of rubber from when I bought it, its very slight but no amount of washing will remove it

[savage1987]

because my mate is visiting from the ACT at the moment.

As for your black marks, polishing should get them out

[Morton]

That looks beautiful, savage.

welldone mate looks good, I also did a major detail to my car today.. clay bar,cut then wax.. came up a treat.

[savage1987]

They come up stunning sometimes more than worth the effort. Also feel awesomely smooth afterwards makes chamoising them off so much easier!

I just got a full detail the other day for 250 on the vn which was a full interior/exterior/engine wash, cut n polish and paint protection. DEFINATELY something that should be done on a commodore before a sports exhaust or other performance mods.. increases and maintains price value and gets more looks than a run down heap of crap.

And i agree with it making the car smoother the difference before and after is amazing

It's true!! I couldn't help but drive along feeling the door, it was the closest I came to ever having sex with my car.

Mmmm...delicious

[savage1987]

LMFAO!!! Well I'm glad you like it Jordan, yours didn't cost quite that much either

[Eliminator]

but did you do a cut & polish as well as paint protection?? the paint protection i used cost 130 for the tin alone so really only paid 120 in labour, inlcuding them using their own cleaning products to polish the windows, wash & buff the car etc..

this is how mine came up
