Before:

Stage 2 decontamination:

Paint levels fine, no signs of respray however looking at it in the sun it was obvious had been attacked by a hack detailer with the buffing trails as well as the usual swirl marks

We need to all chip in for a car bra or something for Hamish so he will travel to Melbourne to Detail. He's too precious about his car and thinks it will get stone chips if he drives to Melbourne.
I drove to Sydney and back without a single stone chip, and without a car bra!

Let's start a petition Melbourne folk. We want, no....NEED Hamish to visit our wonderful state! And not by plane, because he needs to bring all of his equipment.

A white bug today, attacked by another detailer 3-4 months ago so he was a bit skeptical about getting it done again, also had a crack himself at de-badging and needed help

Wash:

Checking paint levels - Normal

I would definitely be in the queue!!! Bring my own chair as well and look forward to Hazza feeding me sausages and Chaotic bringin' me coffee. White and one, thanks chap! :lol:

Seriously, if Hamish came to Melbourne, he would need a bloody big truck, cause the queue would keep him here for a month.
