There's always a certain appeal to watching others work while you kick back

On my car though I tend to do it all myself, but it's only because I'm sick and twisted and actually enjoy it

I think there are a couple of threads where guys have mentioned good detailers in Melb though

^^^^ +1 in a twisted way too!!!

I think it has something to do with the before and after effect???

The only downside to washing/detailing your own car, for me anyway, is that you get to see all the new stone chips and scratches. Seems like I'm finding a new one every week lately

If you want a good detailer in Melbourne then I can recommend Eurogloss Prestige.

A good job doesn't come cheap though. And he doesn't use Autoglym I'm sorry

Thanks for that

Hi Fats.
I have used many of the AutoGlym products, and have always been very pleased with the results.
I even use some of them when polishing gloss black pianos for very fussy clients.
The easiest product to use is their Super Resin Polish- wipe on, bit of elbow grease, buff off. All just using good quality microfibre cloths.
Always check the cloth to make sure there is no debris caught in the fibres.
If the paintwork needs a bit of a cut before polishing, Autoglym Paint Renovator is worth trying. Just always use less than you think you may need.

Check out ZAS' products. I have recently done the DIY opticoat and am very happy with the results.
Joel from ZAS is very helpful, with a swag of tips and techniques to share.

IMO you don't need a detailer unless you're not much of a fussy owner like I am.

I've been known to have spent 2-3hrs cleaning my car, from washing it, to cleaning and detailing the interior and also doing the exterior, and most times even cleaning the door jabs and engine bay, boot and using plastic polish on my headlight/taillight lenses.

if you have patience and time on your hands you can yield great results!

Yeah, when i do a wax which is 2 - 3 times a year takes me no shit about 12 hours from washing to clay bar->Pre wax cleaner->Polish->Extra Gloss protection-> ScratchX where needed-> Hand Wax... Along with taping up the rubbers around the windows takes time. Here's a tip for windows instead of using Rain-X... I've never used Rain-X but im so happy with the result i personally wouldn't see much better gain with rain-x. Anyway I use Autogylm Polish on my windows let it sit for 20 min then wipe off, it runs and beads so easy its a joke lol, at about 80km/h there is very little need for wipers the water just runs off.

^^^ Yep the sales rep at the AutoSalon had told me the same and every time I've bought a bottle of the super resin polish I wack it on the window glass as well. It works a real treat and like you said don't need wipers as much coz the water just beads off!!!

The is also a window polish which has been specifically been made for glass, that way you have one bottle to do the panels and the other for your windows.

Oh also yesterday after picking up my car form Mazda with the missus I noticed how dirty her car is (melb weather) yet still how shiny it has staid, my car is the same since I did mine straight after I finished with hers!

Believe me I was so bloody sore after doing two cars in one day!!!

Just picked up some autoglym Ultra Deep Shine from Repco on sale for $30 !! Weekend job locked in......if it stops raining.

[SarcasticOne]

Is this the same company that offers rust protection against positive electrons?

X-pack paint and rust protection...

Quickly did my mates driver's side panel on his dark green BA XR8 Ute and he straight away went to Autoranch and bought a bottle of resin polish! hahaha lol

What can I say he was really impressed
