Cleaned my new newer STI on saterday...ALOT!
 
Ok so had my new Blobeye 05 widetrack for about 4 weeks now and decided it was time to take out the annoying mass paint swirls in the paintwork and give her a good deep clean.
So started at 8AM ! on saterday, cleaned the wheels properly before starting anything else then snow foam with karacher attachment slapped to my hose pipe! 2x bucket method with some microfiber mitts etc.
Leathered dry and clay'd the hole car.
Moved the car into the shade then as sun was starting to beam at about 9.30! (yesterday was a scorcher) and set about the 3 stage paint restore, Compound/Polish/Wax this took the best part of the day by the time the sun went down I had just finished polishing the plastics and rainx the windows etc :S! 13 hours ... done!
Even had the other half out in the sun at it with a toothbrush!! yes she helps clean the car sometimes!:cool:

Products used:-
Turtlewax Platinum series performance car wash.
Meguiars Quik detailer + clay bar.
Meguiars Endurance tire gel.
Meguiars Ultimate compound
Autoglym super resin polish
Mer hybrid wax
Turtlewax Sparkling glass clean
RainX treatment. to all glass (this crap is hard to polish off )
AutoGlym bumper care (plastics)
various microfiber cloths /Meguiars microfiber applicator pads a toothbrush! and elbow grease!:brickwall

Took pictures today as didn't finish with enough light yesterday! (yes yes I know get rid of the badges/get rid of the stiffys/change the zunsport but ive only had it a few weeks and work is busy !!)
