Got my widebody paint matched.

Now it's time to match the front bumper and fix the wheel setup and worry about other cosmetics later. Huge car show on June 3rd that I will be participating in. Lots of mods coming up next with my headlights!

That's sweet man, I love seeing your car.

Do you detail it yourself?

Last week I spent all day detailing my car. Black is a pain to keep clean.

I just got a new rotary buffer and damn, I should have picked up one of these earlier. My car looks like it left the showroom.

I actually don't but I really wanna learn instead of paying a high quality detailing company $300 for a showroom quality detail. You should tell me the process, or better yet, make a thread. Have yet to find a fully detailed one with links and it's uses

Edit: main reason I haven't tried is because I don't wanna burn the paint off with the buffer lol

Sweet set up dude. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the body kit and installation for it?

Body kit flares were only $800. Installed them myself with a friend

I was there about a month and a half ago. I'll probably find my way that direction sometime in the next year or so. Maybe I'll have my Toyota Slowlara supercharged by then!

Always love seeing your ride.

I detail on the side, would be glad to give you some help if you ever need it. Recommend buying a dual action rotary buffer, with a cutting pad, polish pad and waxing pad. Before all of this though, buy a clay bar and detail spray and do it all properly from scratch. Each car I properly detail roughly takes me 7-8 hours and I charge about 300-400 AUD, which includes clay bar, cut, fine polish and Brazilian wax eliminating next to all swirl marks or light scratches/scuffs. The new hexagon foam designs are quite good for pads. Trust me, it's great doing it yourself however very time consuming. Once it's done (RIGHT THE FIRST TIME), it doesn't need to be done for a long time and it's easily maintained if you take car with your washes. E.g, don't take it to a fkn automated wash swirl centre.

The gloss that a black produces is unreal, highly recommend :p

Sounds exactly what I would say if I weren't tired.

What brands do you use for chemicals?

How much would that whole setup cost?

Really wanna try it out but it does take a long time and I don't wanna ruin my paint from the heat. Might just pay someone to do it for now and learn on a test car. And the pint on my car has a pearl finish to it, so if it were detailed properly, it would look insane

I bought a hood that was in decent condition from the scrapyard to practice on.
