5 MINUTES WITH.... Phillip Davies from Amazing Detail
Why did you get into the detailing business? There was a need for good detailers in the Orange area and I’ve put a lot of time and effort into training myself, so I can offer a premium detail service similar to what you can find in Sydney and Melbourne. What’s the main type of work you do for customers? I do a lot of pre-sale details for people wanting to tidy them up to get a better trade-in. Paint correction — removing defects like scratches and swirl marks. And I do interior protection for leather and the plastic trim. I’m
completely mobile, so if there is a power point and a tap and somewhere I can work on it, I’m right to go. What’s the advantage of the ceramic coating you offer over other paint protection products? It’s very hard and superhydrophobic, so water beads and drags the dirt off. Bug splatter and tar doesn’t stick and bond, so your car stays cleaner longer and when it does get dirty it is so much easier to clean. Do have any simple maintenance advice on the best way to keep your paintwork looking good? Don’t wash your car with a sponge — use a microfiber mitt, because it absorbs the dirt into it rather than just
sitting in the pores. If you go up to a car with everything from having the engine of the bike upgraded towheels, bars, covers, saddlebags, fairings, right down to all the little nitty-gritty like your engine covers, grips and so on. There’s a huge range of Harley accessories, so basically every Harley ends up being fairly unique. Are there any services or products you provide that people may not know about? The fact that we do service all makes of bikes. We also have a large range of merchandise, not only Harley, but we have a lot of motocross stock in store as well. That’s something we are finding people haven’t been aware of.
