First Detail of the Ti
 

Finally found some time to do a proper clean up on the car.

It is a 95 with 142k on it. Still needs some bits (fog lights, bmw emblems...to say the least), but I am very happy with it, have put about 1k into maintenance so far, but bought it for $2400.

For almost 14 year old paint it looks damn good...

What products did you use?

Borrowed my buddies stuff when we did his gti at the same time (This is what i remember)

Meguires gold soap
Claybar (can't remember the brand, shouldn't matter anyways..)
3m sealant and scratch remover
Zymol Wax.

Looks really good. I'm gonna do a detail soon. Want to use up all the stuff I have and then will invest in the 3M stuff. I do need to pickup a clay bar tho. I've always liked CLay Magic.

paint looks really good btw

Car looks really nice. Could use some new roundels. :yes: Other than that I think it looks damn good stock. Keep it up!

Nice car brother!

looks like glass ;)

Looks good man, clay bar ftw! I really need to do this to my car.

Claybar - I heard someone else mention Clay - please enlighten me - what is the claybar ?

I remember friends who were crazy over carnauba wax, back in the day ...

Claybars are used to get all the little crap that gets stuck in your clear coat out. Really easy to do and well worth the effort. Search youtube for some videos on how it's done.

You must wax afterwards though, the claybar will pull all the wax off. Makes your paint look and feel like sexy time though.:biggrin::_pelvic2:

Claymagic is the brand I use.

good call, thats what i used, couldn't remember the name haha

looks good, would look better if you resprayed your rockers and lower rear bumper with a glossy paint, other than that, the paint is in incredibly good condition for it's age

The guy who i purchased the car from did it in the flat black color. I actually quite like it. I wouldn't want the glossy on my rockers just because they get so much dirt and grime anyways..
