A very close mate of mine had referred his brother since he purchased a new Mercedes GLA-200 and I was more than happy to help prepare it before it starts its daily responsibilities.

I'll sound like a broken record here but this is the most ideal time of the car ownership, right at the start, to get it protected from our harsh elements. Often owners will get caught up in the moment of the new car so you don't really consider it at the time, so thanks to my good mate for guiding his brother in both, 1) escaping the full retail of a dealership 'addon' from some random you'll never even come face to face with and 2) ensuring the vehicle gets suitable protection before its heavily used.

I started early Saturday morning with a full decontamination process:

Foam lance, wash, two-bucket method, fine clay bar treatment, air blower for tight areas, and a careful dry-down before the car came inside.

Then the paintwork was refined using a combination of Zvizzer Australia & NZ pads and Absolute Valeting compounds. A final wipe down and then coated with one of my all-time favourite Gtechniq Australia Crystal Serum Light.

The interior surfaces were treated, with the carpets, mats, door trims, and dash all receiving attention as well. 303 Products and GYEON Australia utilised.

As always, a massive thank you to my trustworthy suppliers!

In one of those rare moments, I've got some time to post up about our own car and some family van shenanigans that have occurred past few months.

I loved our white Estima, it brought both our babies home from the hospital and all the many family adventures in it - but the 2GRFE, while a sleeper powerhouse, was just too heavy on the pocket :( - so it was time to bid it farewell and let it go to someone who would enjoy it more.

I've only ever had Toyotas or Hondas, so I tried that again with an Odyssey and while its a great car - the example I landed unfortunately needed more work than I was willing to admit at the start, so reality smack later - off it went to another owner (with full disclosure of what was necessary for it). Basically my OCD couldn't handle it..

You read/hear it all the time, the whole 'you only realize what you've lost once it's gone' and yet until you experience it, it doesn't kick in! - on losing the white Estima we realized how much we genuinely preferred the interior space it offered. Forget the engine, it was the interior dynamics and the ease of use with the space it offered. For anyone who knows my car history, I deal in 2s, if not 3s.. so we set out to find a replacement Estima and it didn't take long to find the black one or Blackstima!

This will continue to build over the next few months as time permits. Need to sort out an Android/Apple Play head unit next !

It’s an interesting time in the world. While much sits beyond our control, one thing that always remains within it is how we treat one another. Kindness and respect cost little, yet they can make a real difference. At the end of the day, I’d like to think most people simply want peace of mind and the chance to go about their lives and goals without too much hassle.

Not to get too preachy though.

This long weekend, I had the pleasure of preparing this 2025 BMW iX1 for daily duties. A repeat client, a fantastic owner to deal with, and a job I was only happy to take on this long weekend!

The best time to get proper protection on a vehicle is when it’s brand new and straight out of the dealership.

Anyone familiar with the industry will know that new cars do not always arrive in ideal condition. After time at sea, through ports, transport yards, and dealerships, there is often a fair bit that needs correcting before the surface is truly ready to be protected.

That’s not a criticism of dealerships either. They work at volume, with limited time and different processes. My little detailing setup allows me to take a far more focused approach for the discerning owner.

That said I started early Saturday morning with a full decontamination process:

Foam lance, wash, two-bucket method, fine clay bar treatment, air blower for tight areas, and a careful dry-down before the car came inside.

From there, the paintwork was refined using a combination of Zvizzer Australia & NZ pads and Absolute Valeting compounds depending on the area, before being wiped down and coated with one of my all-time favourite Gtechniq Australia Crystal Serum Light.

The interior surfaces were not overlooked either, with the carpets, mats, door trims, and dash all receiving attention as well. 303 Products and GYEON products utilised.

The owner arrived just before the rain, perfect timing. With 4 to 5 days of undercover parking and no rain exposure, the coating will be well on its way to curing properly and this iX1 will be ready to face daily life, rain or shine!

As always, a massive thank you to my trustworthy suppliers!
