Recently had my Nickel VE given a Stage 1 detail and it came up brilliantly, especially given silver is usually hard to make look really good. Even better is to come as subsequent layers of Optimum Car Wax are added! :woohoo:

I'm spreading the word as he has just invested heavily to set up a fabulous place where you can just drive in and have your car professionally detailed while watching the whole process through huge glass windows, sipping on a complementary coffee, chocolate drink (made from melted chocolate I'm sure - yum) or coke etc.

Given his skills and knowledge (and to me bargain prices) I'd really love it to become really successful, so please Melbourne people support him. :yep:

The car was done with Clay Magic Blue (basically a liquid clay bar product) applied with a buffer and finished off with a coat of Zaino All-In-One. It feels smooth as glass now!

Look at how the metallic comes up in these close-up shots! (one with flash, one without)

Damian said he will give anybody who mentions they saw my car a 5% discount, making a Stage 1 job like mine around $150 - absolute bargain if you ask me as it took him over 3 hours and now absolutely gleams.

Had the Wonkymobile washed today by Damian and the guys at Final Inspection and a second coat of OCW (Optimum Car Wax) added, so it's now had Zaino Clear Seal applied when Damian detailed (and clay barred) it, then a coat of Zaino AIO (All In One) and now two coats of OCW.

Went to the shops tonight and almost couldn't get myself in...... The light from the shop was reflecting off the front guard as I got out and the shine just looked so liquid and deep that it was almost hypnotic! I've never seen a shine like that before except on show cars - and this was on l'il ol' mine!! And on silver too!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Reading between the lines I got the impression today that as with many new businesses (which is in some ways what the boutique is given he used to do his work onsite) Damian is having difficulty generating enough new business to make it viable, so if you are considering getting him to work on your car please do it soon as I would absolutely hate to see him go under.

He is a genuinely nice guy and an absolute master at what he does. :bow: :bow: :bow: If you want to see some of his stuff check out http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/index.php. I think you have to join to see anything but if you have the slightest interest in learning about stuff to make your car look good then it is well and truly worth it!

PS Damian's computer is being repaired at the moment so no point emailing him.
