I feel really relieved today. no more business BS, annoying people, a***, ridiculous hours and sickness from working so hard.


hi matt,
i was in surgery yesterday when ya posted this so wasnt on the computer last night.
so its all over hey, you will fell so much more relaxed over the next week or so, so much so that it will seem realy strange but in a good way. when i left my last job i was almost bored with the new one for the first few weeks because it was so much more relaxed and less stressfull.
did you get any pics of that XY man?

Wow hasn't time flown by. Two months since the last post
I bet you all thought I had vanished without a trace.

No it was time for a well deserved break to unplug from the digital world and the real one too.
Been down to our Port Elliott Holiday Home last weekend
Anyway this week has been fairly quiet at Splash, we got an Aston Martin Vantage in on wednesday for Paint Correction and Gtechniq C1 coating.

For the next few months, I'll post up the best pics from our work at splash and sometime after June, I will again have a look at revolutionising the detailing industry or at least, the way that paint defects are repaired, paintwork polishing, glazing, sealing and anything else that I can think that hasnt been fully developed yet.

What I will continue to work on and develop is firstly, a rotary based reflowing process/techniques to make scratches and swirls melt away without any paint film being removed as well as orange peel reduced or removed at the same time

Then with help from my friend, Chris Houston in the USA, to invent all new tools and products that eliminate time consuming traditional polishing and paint correction methods, all whilst not removing paint film.

chris is already at work on a work light for me that will be something like 12 to 15 times more powerful and effective than my LED torch and cheaper than it
for now, Its goodbye and happy motoring

OK, here is an Aston Martin Vantage we recently did with Gtechniq P1, Menz 85RD via orbital machine and then IPA wipedown and Gtechniq crystal Lacquer
The paint was superb to work on and we spent plenty of time jewelling the finish down with 85
Sure I could of taken it further and gone to Glare, Prima and Driven products route but these products do not allow Gtechniq Lacquer to bond properly.

So here's the results.
Not the best angles and photos ever taken but I'll get better over time

That's one of my co workers, not me.

Wow that was a fast reply
The only guys I know that are top class in Victoria are

Eurogloss Prestige - Mario
Final Inspection - melbourne

since I speak with Mario alot more and he's always keeping up to date with latest technologies, I'd say go see Mario.

he will if there is enough paint on it and you don't screw him around
He'll tell ya to bugga off if you even look like wasting his time

Not cheap price wise but if you pay peanuts you get monkeys so see it as an investment in your car, not just any old cut and polish

Thats fine i understand that, would $500 get me a good work over and bring the paint back to its nice shiny self? (have some annoying water marks, and paint is going a bit dull)

Probably. his rate I think is $75 - 85 an hour but it's all worth it
