Hi all, My name is Bob and I'm an Aussie enthusiast not a pro like you guys. I have always had the cleaning bug ever since I got my license. I only really got right into it in the last year. I own 2 black cars hence my enthusiasm for detailing.

The first is a 2007 Mazda 6 Luxury Sport with 19" wheels.

The second car is a 2011 Mazda RX8 R3 or GT as we call them in Aus.

I have been using Zaino ZAIO, Z5, and Z2 on the RX8 and Meguires on the 6 all with my Concours DA polisher.

I look forward to learning all I can. I have already watched all the video's and just bought some Pinnacle Sovereign Paste wax and Microfibre bonnets because of them.

Welcome! This is the best place, and many people here (including me) are not pros. I was checking out an Aussie detailing website a while ago and you guys pay a FORTUNE for some products. Sometimes we common about prices and shipping here, but compared to what the rest of the world sometimes pays we have it cheap. Any good Aussie detailing products???

Thanks all, no Aussie products that I have tried are any better than Al the products you guys can get. I was a dedicated meguires fan for years but have recently branched out to the more professional products like Zaino and now Pinnacle.

Great choices. Im only a recent Mazda convert. We bought the 6, 3 years ago and I loved it so much that we bought the RX8 new in December last year. Lone them and the quality of build is fantastic for the price. I don't think I would for in a miata. I'm 6 foot 4 and a larger lad. My knees used to hit the steering wheel of
My mates one.

Just found a nice Aussie product that is really very impressive. It's called Juice. They do a black swirl remover, cleaner polish, speed wax, (this is exceptionally good), quick detailer, wash, interior cleaner and plastics rejuvenator. I used it on my bosses ford and it did an amazing job. Very easy to use, goes on and comes off very easily. No fillers at all. I was extremely impressed.

I will get some shots soon.
