surly theres gotta be some guru in perth some1 knows who wants a bit off moola for a simple amp install?? that's all I need really.. some1 who knows where all the wiring goes and can solder/heatshrink the joins etc so its all done properly... also some1 with sound/audio experience...

if not im gonna have to take it to audiocom and get them to do it... they will want like $300 and prob wont even do it properly like they did my last ute... I ended up pulling it all out and doing a bodge job myself which was better :S and im a joke with this stuff... I can tell u that

JB HI-Fi in Midland Installed my System for pretty cheap, try them!

Mat,

Here are a couple of pics after the Swissvax treatment. I didn't get much of a chance to take any really good photos but you get the idea.

X2!

Cant fault the finish on that! How long do you think it will last?

D, its a few of the better detailers can do it, but a tub of the swissvax sheild will set you back about $190. I dunno how much the detailers charge but decent wax is definitely worth it I think. The best swissvax is custom made to your car and paint and will set you back $3,950 a tub! Still if you can afford an Enzo or something 4K is nothing!

Well after the new zorst I think I'll just be doing the DIY Mothers polish. Looks too good though. I wonder if we dont drive it for a few months and put the fuel money ......

that came up mint, should try it on mine since it the same colour

[LeighD]

I actually had it put on by a car detailer (Sublime Car Detailing) because I didn't have time to do all the hard work and buff out the swirl marks etc.

Brett at Sublime is really well regarded in car detailing, he spends most of his time doing Mercs at Diesel Motors. If your car didn't need much in the way of buffing then it probably wouldn't be very expensive for them to put on a coat of a high end wax like the Swissvax Shield etc.

Brett said that the wax should last 2 months or so, which isn't bad. If you want real longevity, you will still need to go for a synthetic wax/blend.
