Hey everyone I hope this post doesn’t sound too silly. But I’m based in Melbourne Victoria. And I’ve taken an interest in car wrapping. I’ll be honest to say I’m not very knowledgeable about cars. But I’m very interested to learn and become more knowledgeable when it comes to the world of car wrapping. I was wondering what’s your advice for someone who wants to learn, what’s the best way to start. I would love to learn from someone in person but also what people do you recommend to watch online that’s very informative etc. so far I only see videos of people wrapping their cars but it doesn’t explain the process. I’ve been wanting to reach out to some businesses but I’m worried as I’m not as knowledgeable about cars and because of my gender I may not be taken as seriously. But I’m ready to push and keeping trying until i get the hang of things. Knowledge is power I just want to know where to start what’s your advice etc? I do have a car I can practice on as well. I’ll just need to get all the relevant tools etc. I’m hoping to gain enough experience where it can become a career for me one day.

Thankyou in advance

Hello everyone hope this post finds you well.

I’m buying a used 2021 Akera Mazda CX-5 in Victoria. I’ve put down a deposit and negotiated an agreed price they had the Mazda was up for 35k I negotiated it down to 32.5k including my trade in.The sales person disclosed that there was a small crack/chip on the windscreen upon inspection. Everything else to do with exterior and interior was In good condition. This is my first time buying from a dealer so I was quite overwhelmed as you know they are trying to sell the car and I was being given so much information i felt bombarded. I didn’t push on the chip/crack. Because they said it might or might not pass the road worthy check. But I’m regretting not pushing on it because it could pass the road worthy as it’s small but noticeable but might be just enough to pass it. But if it does pass I still don’t feel comfortable receiving the vehicle with the crack/chip. I would like it to be repaired or replaced which would be unlikely. But I just want to be informed because I’ve got myself in a bit of a pickle as I should have mentioned it when I was there for the inspection. I know if it’s passes the road worthy check. The crack/chip can be a massive issue for me in the future and be very costly to replace. I was wondering if you guys could help me become more informed on what my options could be and what would be reasonable. I know if it’s passes the dealerships main argument would be it passed and it’s a used car but I really don’t want the car to have the crack still upon completing the sale. The car is awaiting mechanical inspection first. I only viewed the car yesterday and put down the deposit yesterday but I’m wanting to reach out Monday. I wanted advice first and to be more informed as I’ve never bought a used vehicle from a dealership before.
