Spent last night and most of today cleaning the car...

steam cleaned seats and cleaned dash ect




Then washed, cleayed, renovated, polished and waxed









There are some bits that need attension still namely, stone chips (really bad), dent and wheels





So plans remaining for now are:
new tyre
have dent fixed and sprayed olong with bonnet, bumper and splitter
a few gloss black bits (not roof)
take civic badge off rear
lower -40/50mm
refurb wheels in gloss black
repaint calipers
posible light smoke tints
cai
paint insides of head lamps black
paint calipers again

I do like to get carried away so this could well change

my fave pics



big thanks to people who give advice on cleaning...

comments welcome

Pics are piss poor to appreciate the work you say youve done.Looks like its just had a wash with a bucket and sponge.

Plans sound just like the plans you had for the Ibiza.Black bits etc.Keep the wheels silver.They look best in silver.

i really dont know why people go for 'gloss' black wheels. they look shit and with the tyre walls being 'lighter' then the colours dont go. if anything a little darker than the standard colour or else keep them as they arr (refurbed though).

I prefer G3 Liquid compound. Miles better than the AG and T cut.
