No

I wouldn't say I'm great with money but I'm not totally stupid either.

Find yourself a good detailer and your car and wallet will love you for it.

Re: VF Series II IS HERE

Agreed. Skip the dealer and find a good detailer that will correct the paint and then use something like Opticoat or Gtechniq for long term protection

Don't get any of the dealer options. I went with the opticoat option that I organised myself and so far I've been happy with it.

the dealer paint protection etc is waste of money. If youre Brisbane based, check out this bloke:

When i picked up my VF redline, i booked it straight into this guy. Does amazing work. Here is a before/after for my VF.

Re: VF Series II IS HERE - Part 2

I have done a lot of late model commodores including a VF that came literally straight from the dealer to me.

Check out CAD automotive paint correction on facebook for photos etc. Obviously only useful for people in Sydney.

I will be calling you in the next few days mate. Just need to get the dealer look at a small paint issue on the back bar / fascia first.

Man that looks brilliant! I am getting Heron White as I like a white car, plus it always looks clean even when it's dirty. Ball park price for your VF Redline if I may ask for the paint protection package?

its just professional detail from the guy i mentioned in my post, not any kind of specific 'paint protection package', and nothing dealer-related etc

Re: VF Series II IS HERE - Part 2

Just found out, cost cutting by Holden. Now only 1 horn instead of 2 for VFII. VF1 and VE had 2 (and very loud). Must save at least a couple of cents on every car!!!!
