Oh, forgot the 'serious amounts of elbow grease' and bacon sarnies / cold coke required...

The results of my STis first Swissol experience - which consisted of:

- Hose down entire car
- Shampoo and brush detail wheels
- Hose wheels down
- Shampoo and wash bodywork
- Hose bodywork down
- Waterblade bodywork
- Terry towel bodywork
- (Allow to air-dry for a short while whilst scoffing aforementioned bacon sarnies)
- Swissol cleanse / buff
- Swissol Samurai wax / buff
- Back-to-black tyre walls...

Not moved it since, so it's still 100% shiny and protected under its cover.

Look at that reflection...



Very impressed, but looking foward to a quicker wash and shine the next time!

looks very nice mate, must be alot easier to buy a new one and keep it clean rather than a second hand one with stone chips etc etc...

Have a quick look at this new thread, for pictures of the car with the SCC cover in place.

Praise indeed - thanks Mark.

Obviously the inside of the boot and all doors is the same quality - engine bay not tackled just yet, though hopefully with the right products I can get somewhere near your standard...

Thanks SiDHEaD - the intention is to keep it that way, hence it sits under an SCC cover when not in use.

Here's another:
