Haha yea I like the clean, crisp look.
Plus the globes were in the Outback and I'm sure the new owner couldn't care less!

Haven't updated this in a while!

20% tints are on the car but no completed photos.
Here's my tinting mate doing what he does best



Also polished up the headlights as they were a little cloudy. I'll have to give them a second treatment to get the most out of them but they came up nicely.

Seems to have sprung a leak though. After heavy rain, the passenger footwell is completely soaked and the whole car stinks... There are some water marks at the top of the A pillar but can't see any broken seals. Mysterious.

So the last post in this thread was about washing the SP20, but I did it again today. Only this time I went into much more detail, plus it's been about 10k kms since it's last service so I gave her a bit of love in that department too

Suds wash
Chamois
Clay bar treatment (This is just amazing!!!)
Polish
Headlight cleansing (Redid it just for good measure)
Engine bay wipedown

Oil change
Oil filter change
Air filter change

I want to recommend a claybar kit to everyone! If you've never done it to your car, you are missing out! Both my cars now feel brand new. With a run over with the clay, a buff and a polish, results are amazing!!!








And the Foz got some love too.

So. Damn. Shiney!!

Cleaning the car with a clay bar does make a huge difference doesn't it.

HUGE!!

Mum's car feels like gravel at the moment so that's my next project. Will probably use a whole claybar in one hit!
