More Than Cars
Our Commitment
We recognise the need for businesses to participate in supporting their local communities and charities. While it’s important to help local communities by providing employment and business opportunities. We see it as part of our social responsibility to directly engage with local charities at a level that reflects the core values of what Final Touch is. In 2019 Final Touch International will embark on its first official charity support, through providing sponsorship and corporate services to the “Pork Pie” Charity Run, Easter 2019.
Paint chip repairs
It’s our ‘Spray and Wipe’ Automotive Paint Stone Chip Repair Process that really sets us apart. The ‘Final Touch’ process is unique in its ability to achieve an exceptionally smooth paint chip repair. What’s more, it has been setting the benchmark for the S.M.A.R.T Paint repair industry in New Zealand since 1993.
This process of airbrushing paint into the chip greatly enhances the vehicle’s appearance. With over 25 years of continued system development Final Touch has developed an unparalleled yet simple process that has stood the test of time. The process is NOT a coloured polish system or ink. We replace the missing paint with carefully matched automotive grade paint providing a blended smooth look. Disguising the appearance of chips, while enhancing the look and value.
The Final Touch process can make an average vehicle exceptional and SOLD significantly quicker.
Training Services
Ask your Final Touch operator about their in-house training opportunities available for your grooming staff. Your Final Touch operator works to an IDA standard and is skilled in assisting your staff to further enhance your bottom line through skills acquisition.

2019 Pork Pie Updates
January 2019;
An update from the little yellow Mini crew:
We have been quite busy displaying the car with the flags up. We’ve mainly used ’Salmon Tales’, a very busy café in Rakaia, situated on SH1 which attracts a lot of travelers wishing to take a break from driving.As well, I took the car down to Cromwell last weekend for their classic car show, a very popular annual event in Central Otago, displaying with 3 other cars from the PP Run. This also gave me the opportunity to trial the car on a long trip (850kms return) in case the blue one’s repairs haven’t been completed in time for the run. I did go and visit it last week and found it hasn’t been started yet! They are aware of the run and have it scheduled for beginning in the next two weeks. So, my fingers are crossed. However, the yellow car performed beautifully with no problems. 850km is far longer than the longest day of the PP Run! We are coming into the car show season and will be attending as many of these as we can, flying the flags!
| Fri 19th, April | Kaitaia to Taupo. Lunch will be held at the Mini Garage in Newmarket and afternoon tea will be at the Classics Museum in Hamilton. These breaks are normally 45 – 60 minutes long. |

Paint Swirl and Scratch Removal
When a car is, incorrectly, cleaned the dirt is clumped together and dragged along the paint surface. Brushed cash-wash machines are very good at damaging your vehicles clear coat, leaving many deep swirl lines and scratches in the paint surface. Continuous washing...
Tip & Tricks For Maintaining That Shine
When cleaning a vehicle try to remove the heavier dirt items with a higher pressure wash. Follow this with a good emulsifying cleaner that releases the dirt from the paint surface. Minimising scratching. Wash top down, cleaning the wheels last with a specific brush. Always dry the vehicle back and never wash hot paint, as this risks etching in water spots. For a deeper clean consider clay baring the paint surface.
Our recommendation is to use a high-quality sealant like DurSeal or OptiCoat Pro, to minimise the need for polishing and waxing. However, when polishing or waxing, ensure the paint surface is cool and the vehicle is away from direct sunlight. Apply in uniform motion following manufacturers directions.
Often forgotten until it's really bad. Care of your vehicle glass is important for the long term value and overall feeling of ownership. If your glass has got water spots on it, it's possible we may be able to remove them. However, some glass is quite soft and very easily etched by water spots.
