I flew out to Scotland from Essex the other day to meet olive from UKSC to take her Glanza off her hands, sorry again olive! :p

It took 9 hours to drive the car back, and about 80% of the journey was thick snow with very little visibility, and some very slippery parts on the motorway. It was worth it though, and I'd do it again if I had to.

As some of you may know olive had the Varis bonnet but I decided against it as I like the standard bonnet and also had reached my maximum budget.

Anyway, here's what the car's had done so far:

Volk Wheels with Toyo tyres

Blitz Exhaust

Blitz Turbo Timer

Blitz Dump Valve

Blitz Induction Kit

Fully adjustable Tein Coilovers

Toad Alarm

S/S Cooling Pannel

Driving 9 hours on salty, gritty roads meant that it was rather urgent for me to get the paintwork cleaned up. I therefore took the day off work today to detail it, which took several hours and cost a fair bit in cleaning products too! :(

Here's the products used:

Wash:

Euro W Lambswool Wash Mitt

Poorboy's Waffle Weave Drying Towel

Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds

Clay:

Poorboy's Clay Bar

Poorboy's Spray and Wipe

Detail:

Polish - ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze

Glaze - Poorboy's White Diamond Glaze

Sealant - Poorboy's EX-P

Wax - Collinite No.476s

Meguiars foam applicator pads

Microfibre towels

And some pics of the final result:

Thanks for the comments guys. She's been stored in the garage since the pics were taken and only driven 3 times and it was dry each time so is still just as clean :D

Need to take the wheels off sometime and give them a seperate clean as they have some baked on brake dust etc.

Bit of an update, done a few things since the last pics. Nothing that I've done has been visible from pics though sadly, I did give her a good clean today and thought I'd get some pics taken, still not a great location but better than the drive!

Mods carried out:

TC Short Shifter Kit

TC Anti-Lift Plates

A'Pexi Boost Gauge

Blitz Nur Spec R Cat-back Exhaust

Also did a full oil change and gave the headlights a good cleaning, they still need a bit of further work though.

Many thanks to Rick for the help he's given me with all the bits. :lol:

Anyway, pics of as she stands at the moment:

Looks clean as!!!

Did you clean the inside of the lights?

I need to do mine desperately

No mate, just polished the outside of them rather heavily. They're still not perfect close up but a helluva lot better than they were.

I'm thinking of trying 3000 grade wet & dry paper and some plastic polish, hopefully after that they'll come up a treat.
