Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / April 2006Cut and polish the 4wd?
Well hubby is just working himself to the bone lately - Hilux is 6yrs old and just doesnt look its usualy gleaming self anymore. I want to sneak it to a panel shop??? and get them to do a cut and polish.IT is a white Hilux. Is this adviseable? Dont want to ask hubby as I would really like to surprise him. I got a quote for $170 is this a fair price? I thought it was considering the hours it would take us to do it. Now I wait for all the men folk for their valued opinion.. Thanks Kathy. > Well hubby is just working himself to the bone lately - Hilux is 6yrs old > and just doesnt look its usualy gleaming self anymore.

A bit steep, try your local car groomer, a full detail (Including cut and polish if required) should set ya back around $150-$200 and thats inside and out. I used to groom for a mates yard and we did Hilux single cab full presale details for $180. Hell, for a 6yr old vehicle I doubt that a cuts required anyway. Took the Hilux to the detailer and he said it just needed a good polish. WOW you should see it now! Cant wait for hubby to comehome and see his "new" Lux. Cost was $65 and I would pay it again and again and again for a job well done :) > Took the Hilux to the detailer and he said it just needed a good polish. > WOW you should see it now!

Now all ya need to do is buy hubby a grooming kit so he can keep it that way eh. If you want advise on products let us know as theres a wealth of products used and opinions in here (some good and some not so good) He has all that Scott but thanks. He has just been putting in 12 to 14hr days since Cyclone Larry with the Electrical industry so I just thought it would be a nice treat. He was thrilled - when he got home at 10pm last night all the carport lights went on for the grand inspection and he was just tickled pink! LOL I went bush this morning and came home a little muddied - straight out the side to the hose! Hopefully he will get home in the daylight hours to have a good look before I get it dirtied again!
