It was great to see his knowledge, skill and professionalism in action, while watching my car begin to sparkle.

Thanks again Hamish for the detail, the helpful advice and tips, and making the trip down to Vic!


Not a problem Huy :D

Thanks Jake, was good to finally meet you, hopefully your old man liked the work on his car as well, should have taken some before and afters of that

At least now it's protected and the paint has been polished so when you clean it again it will look just as good as when I left it :D

Kieran's GTB. Considering he doesn't drive it much at all and lives in a garage it was in good condition, only needing a light polish and then protected with Opti-coat paint protection

The headlights look mint and tie in so well with the other black areas on the front. :D (Even if I didnt do them I'd still think that)
