Just gotta watch out for them swaying gutters now. :)
Cheers

Did an Oil and fuel filter service this weekend.
I didn't like the look of the wood grain finish on my cars, so I carbon fibered it

So after 11+ hours detailing the car. We increased the clarity ten fold, removed 90 percent of swirls and imperfections, and improved the depth a great deal too. It's liquid smooth and looks and feels fantastic. So stoked.
Used:
Dodo juice clay and lube
Mint apc
festool rotary, festool rotex, carcareproducts das6 pro
Menzerna polishes FG500, PF2500.
Mint apc wash again
Dodo juice lime prime
Duragloss 601 bonding agent
Duragloss 105 sealant
Duragloss 111 clear coat polish.
Will layer the car with dodo juice blue velvet wax soon, and. Top up with dodo juice red mist.
Thanks to pierre's rotary wielding skills and car care products.

I'm not a fan of carbon fibre that much, but absolutely hate the wood grain in a modern-ish car, looks completely out of place. I didn't see the before pics, but looks way better, I'm sure!Quote:

PS - Advice needed..
I have front brake disc that has a screach, also it's 'on-off-on-off...', the brake pads have heaps of meat, so I don't know why it's screaching? I assume that the 'on-off-on-off...' nature is because of a warped/buckled disc. Any thoughts?
I've been offered 'machining' the front 2 discs for about $120-$160 at Pedders Mascot/Alexandria, or I could buy a new disc?
Took a photo of it today. Sorry about the iPhone quality, didn't have my dslr with me
Photo updated. also sorry that its a thumbnail... stupid imageshack has changed..
