Smile Hawkeye STI washed and polished..

Well thought I would give the car a good detailing before heading to PCAD in castle comb on Saturday..

Started with a weak mix traffic film remover, powerwash off then shampoo, then used meguiars clay bar followed by another wash, in the garage then for machine polishing with meguiars ultimate polish followed by Auto glym wax.

shampoo valeted inside all the carpets, cleaned all the seats with foam cleaner, and the dash.

took me about 12 hours in total...and by the looks of it its going to **** down all weekend..typical

Lovely scoob you have there.

I wish my garage was like that, big enough to get all the way round my car, it's only just big enough to fit the car in.

looks great, mate!

That said, owning a white Hawkeye STi myself, I am rather biased.

the Stereo/satnav system is a very neat install. What brand is it?

Got the exhaust from someone on here, yes it does pop and bang a bit but I think when I get it mapped I will ask for a bit more..[img]/grinning-smiley-17116.gif[/img]

The STI is from a company called Likwid art he had a stand in Japfest last year he is a top guy, really good quality product he will do almost anything you ask for here is a link to his web site..
