Default 22B Valet

Been and done Steve Jacksons 22B today. I've decided after spending the day valeting his I want one now, its gonna be my next car. They're not the fasted but by Christ are they the best looking!

Before wash...




Plenty of wax on it already...and I've got to clay bar it as well...


After the wash (Zymol Auto Shampoo - 2 Bucket and wash mitt)




After the clay bar (Meguiars Quik Clay System) - This took the longest time, the car was bad, just time consuming, the flecks in the metallic paint really came through though.









Yes I got on the ground to polish the exhaust...


Then as usual the clouds came and it started raining so I had to push it back into the garage so I could wax it and do the finishing touches.

Like Cleaning the wheels and Tyre trimming (Meguiars Hot Rims & Meguiars Endurance Tyre Gel)


As well as Cleaning and hoovering the interior, bit pointless really as its mint anyway.



Polished the Metal step sill trim


Meguiars NXT Tech Wax - Best on Metallics, expecially dark Met Blue.




And the Finished result, yeah this blatant photo Whoring but its just so nice!













We moved it outside to get some sunny pics














Best Badges of the Best Impreza ever made



Sorry for all the pics but you enjoy.

PMSL I've been trying to convince him to sell it to me all today I'm sure you can guess what his reply was

Its been a 6 hour valet today but really, I've really enjoyed doing this one, its not everyday you get to mess about with such a rare car.

A 22B is my next car.

Thanks for the Kind words Steve The fact your Impressed with it means I'm happy with it though I wouldn't say professional, just passionate.

As I've already said, its not everyday I get to spend that much time with such a rare car so it was a pleasure to do it.

No mate, not ordered anything from Polished Bliss, I don't need anything so never had a need to yet. I've submitted it to Meguiars.co.uk so we'll see what happens.
