I love the "We didn't spend much time doing it" comment from Pat, We noticed "Patrick" didn't spend much time doing it, because Liam spent all his time doing it,😂😂🤣🤣 I noticed Dan did the runner as soon as you turned your back (very smart move) 😂😂🤣🤣, also you need to put a protective polish on it, the cut and polish leaves the paint very susceptible to UV damage as it's really just a cutting agent.
Nice video gents. As a Detailer I’d recommend using an air compressor to remove polish residue from the pad by blowing it out, rather than using water. You’ll end up blocking the pores of the pad and creating heat otherwise. 👍
I'm going to say that as a detailer that was a little hard to watch haha but you guys did well and Dan's tips are a great starting point for anyone picking up a machine polisher! As someone who has done many a paint restoration on these 80s to restore the factory paint I highly recommend getting a tin of colour matched paint and going over all the paint chips. These cars (especially the white 80s) have pretty thin paint and often have many spots where lights, rubber seals and trim pieces rub through to the metal. going around and touching up all the rub throughs and chips will help prevent rust issues in the future and improve the overall look of the car significantly!!
@@Madmax-bw6gb The typical 50ml touch-up bottle that your local Autobarn or Supercheap can mix up for you with your paint code will have a brush on the bottom of the lid. 1. Give the bottle a good shake to mix the paint 2. Unscrew the lid and carefully brush all the paint sticking to the brush and the shaft into the bottle so it doesn't drip off it when your trying to do a touch-up. 3. Dab the brush into the paint to get as much paint as you think you need to do the area you want to touch-up 4. apply by carefully dabbing the area leaving the paint in a slight blob as when it dries it will shrink down 5. don't try to apply too much paint at once so if you have a large spot then repeat the process above until you've covered the large chip or rub through 6. brushing the paint on won't give as nice of a finish as carefully dobbing and spreading it like that Lastly if you want to take it to the next level don't bother using the supplied brush on the lid and get some paint touch-up brushes or for small chips grab a toothpick Also highly recommend finding a couple Vids on RUclips so you can visualise the process!!
Dan gave some great tips there, two other tips, start with a fine pad and fine polish and slowly work your way up if you still see scratches, do not allow the pad to dwell on one spot because you can damage the paint. Great job guys and the 80 is looking better.
WOW. amazing what a splash of paint will cover.bullbar looks good. mine needs a paint but probably wont happen. buffing the car makes it shine near like a new one.back in the day we did it it with cutting compound and elbow grease. no buffers .i definitely like the shorter mirrors. i got older ones and it looks like a longhorn cow compared to the shorter ones,lol.nice job boys .👍
This is actually brilliant. I’ve watched so many videos that made polishing sound so intimidating that I’ve nearly been scared off ! Now I’m energized just just give it a sensible go
If you're a novice I always recommend start with a random orbital buffer/sander. cheap from bunnings, and not too powerful so you wont ever burn anything. I think I buffed 3-4 cars with one before stepping up my game to a bigger machine. You'll find that sweet spot between "too slow" and "too fast" pretty quick. Just gotta get in and give it a go!
Spray some tyre shine on and see the way the wheels and tyres enhance the polished panels Patty. Now that you’ve given the 80 it’s first polish, watch the bug bite for more shine👍
Hey Patrick another great video, just a quick mention was surprised to see you put a roller fairlead back on normally with rope better not to use roller fairlead as it can get pinched in rollers on odd occasions just something to mention in my experiences. Love your boys work keep it up 👍
You guys should do a workshop tour, that fire place is cool never thought of it in my workshop, also it looks like you have an amazing back drop there.
I used a few different polishes and waxes on my Ute ove the years but kittens wax is the best stuff I’ve used and last forever if you put a ceramic coat onto pot the wax
Nice work, I had to take my fron fenders off for the engin rebuild to allow for wiring mod so I got all the genuine replacement rubbers from UAE with my other genuine engine parts. I repaired the chips in the flares and spraid them satin black, looks perfect.
Far too many smartarse know it alls on most videos. I get sick of the "you should have done this" or "in my experience" heroes. Piss off and do your own thing if you know better. I'm 60 and have seen and done shitloads in my time and have still enjoyed these young fellas and have learnt or re learnt heaps.
Love the videos boys, just an idea I reckon cut the hoops off the bar and have the light bar in the middle it looks tough as. Just my idea keep up the videos boys I love them
Use some Meguiars Ceramic Hybrid wax or similar (people are saying Turtle is good as well) to keep that beading. Easy to apply and the mud comes off so much easier.
Came up well Liam lol, great job on the cutting. The bull bar looks great, is that light bar position legal in Victoria. Just wondering if you have thought any more about putting a wrap on the 80 Patrick as I suggested at the Brisvagus 4x4 show.
The 80 series has to be the pick of all three 4WDS drives on Aussie Arvo's only in my opinion only because i own a 80 diesel my self forget the Nissans
I tried polishing my D40 Navara, everyone was telling me to just try it, I didn't clay bar it and had no idea what I was doing, ended up covering the thing in deep swirls, paints fukd now.... :(
No mater how much you polish a turd it's still a turd 😂 na I'm joking it's come up looking sweet....personally I would never own a brand new 4x4 or ever get a paint job I seen old mates heart sink copping the pin stripe on the GQ...I rather roll in something that copping damage is a memory with a story, then worry about my panels....P.S for people that don't have power tools good old elbow grease half a carton of booze with a mate you can get the same results 😉
I had the Ocam mirrors on my 200 for one day. I nearly had an accident changing lanes. I never seen the other car in my mirror. The mirrors were absolutely horrible.

Its called 'delegation' 😂 The Director can't always get dirty

That’s exactly what’s happened to my white 80😅😂
What’s the best way to apply paint to the small paint chips/rust spots

Amazing what a good clean and a bit of paint can do, top job mate
Ooo nice another thing u could do is new TURBO stickers on the side panels old ones are faded as
Yes please do that 😅
Was waiting for this video, knew dan probably was itching to work his magic on the 80s paint

It's amazing how a wash & polish can transfor a vehicle. The front bar looks like a bought one. Looks fresh. 👍👍

Good starting point is to start with 80grit and go from there.

Those new mirrors look mint. Will help you see fellow SUV drivers, great addition.

Came up a treat!
I also use the spray on ceramic wax when washing the car to keep up the protection 👍

Congratulations .
Dan was right. The only way to get better at it is to get Liam to do it. You won't get cannons if you won't do the work Patrick. 😂😂
Awesome effort lads
Great cosmetic ideas . Ur SUV'S look outstanding. 👀. You guys must be stoked with all the hand outs these companies swing Ur way.

Great job the 80 is looking good.
Aye carumba! good idea with the bullbar. might have to try this with my ute
Good stuff boys. I find detail spray better than water, bit more slippery 👍
Next step is going down the rabbit hole of detailing with ammo nyc channel or pan the organizer 😂
Someone get the boy some neoprene covers for the XR6 seats!! There great seats but seeing the XR logo in a Toyota kills my ocd
Think it’s time for a 80 series rebuild series….or at least a redo of the clear coat!!
The new mirrors look good.
You boys are classic, "You don't trust me with this do ya ?", No, No I don't 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once you buff it you should put on a ceramic coating and then wrap it with clear
Whens the 80 chop going to happen ? Would be wicked as an extra cab and nice canopy. 35s 👌
Watch a couple of painting vids & do the front guard & bonnet.
Rooftop tent on Liam’s gq in the corner of the vid hey !!
Nice job with the cut but id be putting a good wax over the top of that straight away.
Came up well Liam lol, great job on the cutting. The bull bar looks great, is that light bar position legal in Victoria. Just wondering if you have thought any more about putting a wrap on the 80 Patrick as I suggested at the Brisvagus 4x4 show.
Well done 👍
Goddamn it, Paddy! Why did you have to go & do that? Now I have to go & do my 80!! Thanks a lot !!!
The 80 series has to be the pick of all three 4WDS drives on Aussie Arvo's only in my opinion only because i own a 80 diesel my self forget the Nissans
Mate !! She just went up in value $$. 😁🍺
wow that looks bloody awesome!! good job. defs wanna go do mine now. hey can i ask, what offset are those steelies on the 80?
What pads did u use to grind back the bar? Cheers
AWESOME video, the 80 looks shmiko
Slow down there mate, only just washed my car the other day. Admittedly it's only the 3rd time in 3 years. Cheers lads, was great 👍
Great work
Looking great.
Is there anything you can do with the clear coat going. Shit?
Should give the bonnet a respray
Awesome video boys. Pat just do a re-spray 😅
Where did u get those indicatorsfrom
Just ebay: ebay.us/qmdhf6
Good to see the 80 getting a bit of TLC. Bull-bar turned out great. Nothing like a new lick of paint to freshen things up. Good one boys. 👍
How do you rate the Geolanders?
Gum boys lessss goooo
I tried polishing my D40 Navara, everyone was telling me to just try it, I didn't clay bar it and had no idea what I was doing, ended up covering the thing in deep swirls, paints fukd now.... :(
Need some indicators in the holes bud
Only one way to fix that cruiser, buy a patrol haha
Snazzy.
My ocd on the clear coat please fix it ocd ocd lol
Pat,I would of replaced the rollers for the winch with a new one for the plasma rope............no need for rollers.😒
Tbh I i would have sent the bar off to get sandblasted and powder coated. It would probably only be like $200 to get done
Yeah, you wouldn't, but they didn't. Go start you own channel ace.
Now 4inch and 35s 😂
No mater how much you polish a turd it's still a turd 😂 na I'm joking it's come up looking sweet....personally I would never own a brand new 4x4 or ever get a paint job I seen old mates heart sink copping the pin stripe on the GQ...I rather roll in something that copping damage is a memory with a story, then worry about my panels....P.S for people that don't have power tools good old elbow grease half a carton of booze with a mate you can get the same results 😉
A fairlead would look better/tidier, the rollers looks like your 80 has braces on.
Good job guys
Why are there ford seats in there 😂😂
bush wrapz???
Tape it up cause it flicks the shit everywhere
Paint the wiper arms
oh no! you've lost me now with the big mirrors. :(
Surly you’ll repaint the bonnet and passenger guard
you should do a 4x4 rebuild of the inside and turn it into a living space with nice wooden trim and things like a sink and pull out wooden kitchen
those rollers sprayed silver , waste of time , should chrome them.
Don't ask Dan how to polish, he clearly has no idea...😆
Why was Liam doing all the work???
Shine the f$&king tyres😂
I had the Ocam mirrors on my 200 for one day. I nearly had an accident changing lanes. I never seen the other car in my mirror.
The mirrors were absolutely horrible.
If you had any kind of a clue you would adjust them correctly to cover the blind spots. Not hard to do at all. 😅
First
80 looks far without bar
Take that rear quarter turbo sticker off please. And put a new one on. Looks no good
It's not your car, it's his.
@Hillbilly973 sick bro. New sticker would look better!!would it not
@@bioshock425 "sick bro" go away. 😂
@Hillbilly973 nah bro. Free speech bud.
When is the 80 getting a raptor coat or bush rap
What about the normal person who has to pay for things and it’s not all sponsored products ?
Buy the gear yourself and start your own YT channel 😘

Didn't realise that you don't need much of a following on Y/T to get free stuff from companies. Aussie Arvos proved that. 😂
Anyone else find Pats voice annoying af?
clay barred that paint first💪🏻 overall for what it is it came up okay
