Question Canberra's BEST Detailer/Polisher... Who is it?

After giving the GT a bit of attention this morning, it has become obvious that the big girl needs a real good polish.
I'm nervous about doing it myself (I have a phobia about touching black cars) and I had my last Pursuit (also black) polished by a guy who was supposed to be the ducks guts and the car looked a million bucks for about a week. Then I noticed heaps of swirls and extra polish as well as polish on some of the non-painted bits which never came good.
Also, after it's polish (only one it ever had @ 100,000k's) it seemed to explode with stone chip's every day, it only had 3 or 4 before hand.

For these reason's, I want to find a guy who is the best, I don't mind paying well if the results are what I'm after, any reccomendations?

I haven't heard a bad word about INJEKT'D in Belconnen. You might want to give them a little bit of lead time on your detail though as I also hear they are very busy.

Maybe ask a panel beater/painter. They are paid to make the car look a million bucks after repairing it.... or just drive past a high school. With the amount of grease flowing off these teenagers, it should be shiny in no time.... lol!

Give Vince at Injektd a call or see kim at kim's behind him, they do share workloads when busy and both do superb work
