2 Monaro VXR's in one Day!

[SaxyDan]

Well it was a challenge but finished in good time nonetheless.

Process was:
TFR
Snow Foam
Rinse
Snow Foam
2 Buckets (1 x warm water)
Klasse AIO
Collinite
Wheels - TFR and/or Megs WB as required.
Glass - NXT + AG Glass Cleaner
Tyres Megs Tyre Gel

Cars turned up at 9:00 and left at 3:45. No breaks.

Spent the day getting these two beauties back to cleanliness. They are now thoroughly prepared for the season's worst and should survive till spring :)

The VXR500 (one with the supercharger! :y: ) was filthy but it had been detailed by me in the summer so once the crap was removed there was still a good shine and a good base layer there.

The other VXR hadn't been detailed before but as there wasn't enough time I didn't clay or polish on this occasion however it does need it and the owner will be back in April for a full detail.

Some before shots to get you in the mood :)

oh my god !

that is secks, you did a good job on them aswell.

all that power sittin outside your house!

[liamk15]

nice cars .But if they own two vxrs jackets ,thats just gay

[Mitchell]

they could be gay though

[SaxyDan]

Yeah, nearly 1000hp sitting outside! It was sweet, they are so loud too, the ground literally shakes when they start up - I am begging my dad to get one (we used to have a CV8 with the 5.7l engine with approx 430hp after tuning which was awesome :))

[SaxyDan]

Also, the vxr jackets were given out free at a donnington BTCC round in the summer and as far as I know, they aren't gay lol!

[Jackman]

NICEEE. good job they are such a nice car!

[Mitchell]

did u get any interior shots?

[SaxyDan]

Krovean, we didn't have time to do the interiors, the owners just wanted the exteriors to be protected over winter from all the shite and salt that gets put on the roads. In april we are going to give one of them a 'proper' detail with full swirl removal etc. probably topped with Zymol destiny or atlantique, I will be sure to post them up for you :)

[Skorpion]

Might be calling on your services next year towards show season!!! Eveyr car i have seen done looks superb!!!

[saxovtrandy]

they are two very nice cars and youve done a really good job on them to, well done mate

[davew]

awsome cars mate a bloody good job....

[Tupps]

Awesome number plate - Boss VXR

[hesslevtr]

saw these and comented on them on detailing world

amazing work on amazing cars

you like your black cars dont you

[ets2k9]

Those things sound better than they look and in true vauxhall fashion the price will take a nose dive on the 2nd hand market making them alot more affordable.

Although the Astra VXR is where my money would go :)

[Saxy1]

nice cars, you done a great job !!!

[saxooxas]

looks a really good job mate

[Mikey]

my uncle has one in australia, they are fast

:P hehehe. The Astra VXR is a nice car and v. quick but the Monaro is in a different league IMO, there is no replacment for displacement and the FWD torque steer on the Astra would drive me nuts, especially when the upgrades start coming. There is going to be a fully warranteed 600hp pac coming next which includes an intercooler and pulley upgrades to the supercharger for some serious power. We also have an nitrous kit sitting in our office at the moment which could provide some fun :panic:

[ets2k9]

I'm being sensible though a 5.0Lt Superchargered car is going to murder my fuel budget.

[SaxyDan]

It's worse than that, it's a 6.0l! Actually the consumption isn't too bad, they have so much lazy torque that they can quite happily chug along at 80mph on the motorway doing 30mpg and the supercharger is rather clever in that it shuts itself off when it's not being used to save fuel.

[ets2k9]

I cant believe a 60l is economical with or without supercharger but if money was no option I'd get one tomorrow.

[SaxyDan]

I like to think of it as damage limitation lol! :)

[ets2k9]

Yeah I know what you mean I use to try and keep off the boost with my GT in an attempt to improve economy but it didn't work and that was only a 1.4 :)

[Dan]

Awesome cars the monaro's, I loved them when I lived in oz three years ago, would love one!

Great work on them too.

[gotamintvtr]

looks good mate. that collinite stuff dont look bad. i didnt think it left muh of a shine but it seems to do well

[PolishedBliss]

Nice work, great finishes, always nice to have two the same in a single day - makes for good pics. :afro:
