Love your work Hamish.

I'll put my hand up now for next time your over the border.

Nice R8! Pretty impressive that you're called to work on high end cars like that, awesome!

[bosc0]

I hope you rushed through it so there was time for the owner to take you for a spin

[Sh4wry]

Damn I'm jealous....

Will you have much time left for us when your doing ferraris lambos etc?

What products do you use to bring out such brilliant results? Or is this a trade secret?

Would/could you on sell these products?

No trade secrets, Most if not all products can be sourced from car care products, Waxit.com or zas.com in Australia. It's more about patience/technique and knowing what works on the particular paint and defect.

There's some good shit on that.

But I was trying to find the Opticoat that you keep mentioning.
But no luck...

There is a thread in the detailing section with a list of good products that Hamish helped me compile. Hamish most likely uses a swagger load of other products also, but it's a good start.

I'm lazy, will not search for thread

Opticoat/Optiguard is a professional product only. There's only a few dealers each state that can apply it.

There is Opticoat 2.0 which is sold to the public but is a much much weaker ratio and won't offer nearly as much protection.

We should have done a day of detailing/halo headlight install

I drove it in and out of the garage does that count? I don't think my business insurance would like me hooning around in an R8

Wow so there is only 2 people in SA that can use the real professional version and you are one of them? Awesome

Still need to book in for that at some point, but waiting til the spoiler is on and house moving craziness is done. How's your mid-September look, Hamish?
