R2D2 build = train wreck?

OK, getting the thread back on topic...

My bank account is quite a few hundred dollars lighter, but I'm looking forward to detailing the car (hopefully) next weekend. I just ordered:

Concours 900 Polisher - Kompressor 7" Pads & Menzerna Kit
Aquatouch Ultra Microfibre Plush Drying Towel 60 x 90cm Green
Swissvax Microfluffy Towel
Mint Microfibre Super Plush Cloth
Clay Magic Blue Clay Bar & 49 Shine
Swissvax Applicator Pad - Wax
Dodo Juice Orange Crush (Panel Pot)

The Dodo Juice waxes are offered in small "panel pots" which are only $13.95. At that price I figured I would give one of them a go before deciding on a bigger pot or a different brand. Just a shame the front of my car is so full of stone chips, it hardly seems worthy of a good polish and wax but meh.

As mentioned the other week, I didn't end up getting the Rota DPT's and new tires due to buying a block of land and starting the building process now (= broke ass nigger). However I am contemplating picking up a set of those G-Max Drift6 rims in gunmetal to keep me going for a while. Hard to pass up for $750 and don't look toooooo shit...

Does spelling tyres that way mean they're coming from the U.S.A?

I always thought tyres was the American spelling. Seems not. Regardless, can use either spelling without distinction so stfu

Tyres will either be coming from Demontweeks UK or for $400 more, Wheels World which means they'll get on there quicker and won't have to attemtpt two trips in order to transport rims as well as tyres.

I usually do. While not a fantastic price for a set of 225/40/18 tyres, I know that if I use John a few times I'm sure at some stage I will get looked after. He probably bumped the price up because I know Denver.

Oh yeh, another thing - the school holidays = new bumper + paint courtesy of Main Roads, and I'm getting the bonnet resprayed at the same time to eliminate the multitude of stone chips

What's an adz pack? I was in talks with Swissvax about getting some OCDetailing packs but for the price I'm not sure it would have been something people would be keen on.

I've done this car previously and have been in talks about the right/wrong way to do things.

He's getting there - it's half the fun trying to work out how to do it yourself.

Also... if he ruins it I'll just charge accordingly to fix it :P
