Bildo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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! 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 tyresBlitz Exhaust Blitz Turbo Timer Blitz Dump Valve Blitz Induction Kit Fully adjustable Tein CoiloversToad 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 GlazeGlaze - Poorboy's White Diamond Glaze Sealant - Poorboy's EX-P Wax - Collinite No.476s Meguiars foam applicator pads Microfibre towelsAnd some pics of the final result: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 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 Need to take the wheels off sometime and give them a seperate clean as they have some baked on brake dust etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 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 KitTC Anti-Lift PlatesA'Pexi Boost GaugeBlitz Nur Spec R Cat-back ExhaustAlso 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. Anyway, pics of as she stands at the moment: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Looks clean as!!!Did you clean the inside of the lights?I need to do mine desperately Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Looks clean as!!!Did you clean the inside of the lights?I need to do mine desperatelyNo 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.
