Some updated pics of my car in the desert

Pretty happy overall, was a bit dusty.


























































































Only joking, gave her a good wash, washed with washing up liquid, then I used newspaper as a claybar, this brought up the paintwork really nicely, gave it a good shine.

Then used dodo juice lime zest to remove all dust pre polish/wax.

Onto Meg's stage 2 polish, finally finished with Dodu juice pure, the one with the highest carnuba concentration. Pretty happy with the over all result, going to take the slr to a car park tonight get some decent shots. Hopefully it odnt rain.










Couple of shots later in the night, as you can see my weekend of oing college work went out the window lol

Good work mate ! How did you use the news paper like a clay bar ?

Engine wise just the 1zz atm jay, torn between a turbo or a 2zz swap at present.

Mike: After washing it, used 2 bucket method making sure no grit was left, I used dry news paper to dry it down, but doing it as if you were polishing it. Once the paper gets damp the ink works like a polish almost.

Once dried off, use a pre wax/polish, I used dodo juice lime zest, left car smelling of lemons, removed bit of ink left by the news paper and left great surface to polish onto.

Using the fairy liquid removed old wax really well.

Random but if you never used newspaper to do your windows before try it on your windows with vinegar to see the result. Just don;t use the vinegar on the car :p
