Best detailers?

Hi guys,

Want to take the swirls out of my car and give it a good detail + wax. Who are the go-to guys in Melb? I live inner Eastern, and the only name I have is Final Inspection.


Anyone I should be looking at? I want to get it schmicked up before my Gintani exhaust arrives in the next couple of weeks.

Sounds good!

Unfortunately I have a 360 CS for the Ferrari Concourse in September and a few other cars that been booked for months in advance. Sydney is pretty busy as it is!

Maybe I should set up a trip end of the year? PM me if interested (if you can wait that long!!)

In the mean time, check out:

Damian @ Final Inspection
Mario @ EuroGloss Prestige

Thanks mate wil check em out.
Is it a good idea to go through a full detail for a car that is so young? I've heard too much polishing is bad as it will remove percentages of clear coat etc. Pardon my ignorance.

Worth checking out Mitch at immaculate reflections too.

Both Mario and Mitch are experienced in applying opticoat, which is a ceramic clear coat sealent.

Sorry for the late response, didn't see your reply until now.

See what Mario recommends and go from there. He has enough experience to tell you what needs to be done. I've seen new cars that look worst than 10 year old cars. Every car is a different case, but a quick polish is perfect to clean and correct the paintwork before applying a sealant/wax.

On another note....I'm coming down to Melbourne this weekend, but for holidays!

Thanks buddy. Mario is at my house now actually doing Day 1 of 2. Can't wait to see end result and certainly a great xmas present from myself. He went with an XO coat in the end (Out of Opticoat any one other) - I just left it to him he has more experience than I can on the call.

Well as usual by the time I get around to taking decent shots it rains. Well what can I say but the coat Mario applied ( I forgot the name) beaded the rain straight off and my car is virtually as if just washed again.

I also bought a Concours PA Foam Lance to go on my Karcher and some of the blizzard snow to give a wash on Sunday. Tapping dry with microfibre means little to no contact with paint.
