**anthony_VWJET** · 22-06-2009, 09:10 AM

Anyone know of any Car wash/detailing places in Sydney, pref. South West, that do a top job and that dont use high pressure water guns?

Thanks!

Just scared its doing more harm then good, its me being paranoid...

And recently discovering that my paint is pearlescent and would cost a bomb if anything goes wrong, im not fond of anyone using high pressure water on it...

Are you looking to get your car detailed? Or just washed, as on a regular basis?

As long as you're careful they don't get too close to the car or use too harsh a nozzle, you'll be fine with high pressure.

You're more likely to see your paint damaged through poor washing technique (using a sponge, washing with a swirling motion, not rinsing the dirt out and dragging it across your paintwork, etc.).

Detailed more like it, but if works out to be cheaper, wash and detail. I try to wash it once a week and a detail once a month (6 months down the track, im getting tired of doing it already...), but depending on the price, I wouldnt mind saving the energy and paying someone to do it for me...

You're detailing once a month - what do you consider to be 'detailing'?

Wash, wax and polish... all by hand...

Are you gaining any benefit from polishing every month?

A stage one detail done properly will cost you $200 or more, though that will include claying the car as well before polishing and then waxing/finishing.

If you would call making my black paint shine like the chrome grill a benefit, then yes...

200?

I think il stick to doing it myself....
