My new newer STi, Cleaned....ALOT!
 

Ok so had my new Blobeye 05 widetrack for about 4 weeks now and decided it was time to take out the annoying mass paint swirls in the paintwork and give her a good deep clean.
So started at 8AM ! on saterday, cleaned the wheels properly before starting anything else then snow foam with karacher attachment slapped to my hose pipe! 2x bucket method with some microfiber mitts etc.
Leathered dry and clay'd the hole car.
Moved the car into the shade then as sun was starting to beam at about 9.30! (yesterday was a scorcher) and set about the 3 stage paint restore, Compound/Polish/Wax this took the best part of the day by the time the sun went down I had just finished polishing the plastics and rainx the windows etc :S! 13 hours ... done!
Even had the other half out in the sun at it with a toothbrush!! yes she helps clean the car sometimes!:thumb::cool:

Products used:-
Turtlewax Platinum series performance car wash.
Meguiars Quik detailer + clay bar.
Meguiars Endurance tire gel.

Cheers mate

Looks great fella. The best colour aswell.

the grill looks fine to me

Looks good mate. I can spend a couple of hrs on it no way near the 13 hrs your spent. Great effort though.

That is lookin very nice mate :thumb: you wanna help out a fello s'netter mine needs a good clean :lol1:

Nice work.

Not a fan of the rainx, I use nanolex or Angchem Repel, both easy to use. One alot cheaper than the other.

Lovely mate.

Nice work there mate looks great

Aww my old car! Looking good there buddy, although i'd still take off the stiffys and grills;)

Lovely that mate, good effort!

Keep the grilles, but sell the Stiffys to meee! ;) ;)
