Crank with alot of bass and see how yours moves.

Dynamat the front n back of the panel might make it more sturdy.

Adam don't you think you should be keeping all original gear so when you sell car you will get more $ lot of people don't like cars that have been tampered with. My opinion

I get what youre saying, but it would be a huge job to put it all back in and I couldn't be bothered.
I know people dont like modified cars, but a small stereo doesn't really turn people off. Nobody would know about anything but the headunit, which im sure people will see only pros not cons. Handsfree car kit is a big pro that comes with it.

After a terrible professional detail, and me not getting anywhere by hand, I bit the bullet and bought myself a Meguiars Dual Action Polisher. Ive heard nothing but good things about these, and the best bit is i apparently cant do too much damage with it. Ill give it a go this weekend and put some before and after pics up. Fingers crossed!!

what was the issue with the pro detail?

what was the issue with the pro detail?

Well i cant go into details as its with fair trading at the moment. But basically the service i requested and paid for was a paint correction and it wasnt even close to delivered. My car has very bad swirls/surface scratches from the previous owner and the detailer was supposed to cut and polish to remove.. but he basically just polished the same way anyone would at home, and poorly at that. So end result was a very expensive polish i could have done myself.

So going for a diy staged cut, polish, seal and wax?
I'm doing same so keep us posted with the details!

Yeah im doing a clay, cut, polish then wax. Im not a convert on sealants yet. I know theyre good, but i havent bothered getting any yet as the wax i have is great and it smells delightful hahaha

ill mask off half the bonnet and do a proper before and after photo.. im pretty confident i can get the paint almost perfect with this polisher.. its just bad swirl marks so it shouldnt take too many passes.

I'm very interested to see some 50/50 shots of the bonnet

dark colour cars suffer a lot when cutting, polish covers this but doesn't fix. my mate fixed mine wich was a 2 day job he blocked som scratches and de nibbed it better. he normally charges $600 he does lots of high end stuff

[bigBADbenny]

Hey Newbie.
Im sorry but i cant say who the detailer was due to a settlement agreement. Its a NSW detailer though, so you have nothing to fear.
