Talking Dan's SP20 - Number 2 [PIC HEAVY]

Bought this SP20 as a 'project' car. Basically just fixing it up to use as a daily instead of leaving my Liberty at the bus stop all day :P

120,000km on the clock but quite a bit of wear and tear on interior bits and such due to kids. It also looks like it's been left outside all its life and never washed so the paint work is pretty rough.

Anyway... Some pics of it as I got it...




After a quick wash! Has potential...


Just a bit of crap coming out of the car with the pressure washer...


Easier to clean with everything removed


Engine bay cleaned and detailed


I also got started on the paint... Some before and after shots

Before


After

50/50

That's an epic amount of shine! What products do you use?

Agreed! Red is such a satisfying colour to clean and polish, the results are always much more noticeable.

Yeah it's coming up rather nicely. That's just the paint correction, no finishing or coating yet.

I use a Concours 900 DA polisher with Lake Country Orange CCS pad and Menzerna PF2500 polish for the paint correction, need to get something much finer to really gloss it up
