I finally got around to claying the car which i was looking forward to but i had never clayed a car before and neither had the car been clayed so it was new too both of us, so take one dirty(ish) car:




add some sudds:



an it gives you this:



i then started claying the passenger side:





was really suprised as the paint was nice an smooth but i cant belive the difference

end product after a wax(not amazing pics but still get the idea):








reflection shot:

Looks the business mate!

Looks good!

good look :y:

wat backbox is that on your saxo

cheers for all the nice comments guys makes me happy knowing other people like it as much as i do.

its a powerflow cat back mate

Love this car. one of the cleanest ive seen.

Well done for keeping it that way mate :)

car looks good mate, keep up the good work :)

Looks lovely and clean, good work.

cars looking stunning matey :y:

looking good dan. paints smooth when clayed isnt it! it was a todo thing when i had the car but never got round to doing it. but looks good for it.

Nice car mate very clean and tidy :)

Looks nice fella, one thing though... did you wash the car before claying it or just wet it?

Claying makes one heck of a difference to he feel of the paint but will work much better if the cars been washed first so its only having to remove the bonded contaminants :)
Good to see you waxed after claying though, polishing is better after a clay session cause it will remove any marring caused by the clay but nice work :y:

cheers everybody :) ye i did wash it mate if you look at the 3rd pic down you can see the soap on the bonnet.

i washed it, dried it, clay'd it and wax'd it was going to polish then wax but i was nackered after doing everything before hand haha

also i just went and took a bit of a crap picture so thought id post it anyway



cheers

got bored and decided i fancied a change so

during:



after:




i've still got the smoked lights for when i fancy a change. I love both smoked and standard lights so i've now got the best of both.

cheers dan

Seeing the before and after pictures of claying makes me want to do mine even more but need a few things first. The car looks cracking mate!! Well done :D

dan you are an asw ;)
looking good though.

Haha i cant help it i get bored so fancy a change. So happy with them though so much cleaner an fresher with these fitted not much i can do now though, although ive found a decent 16v with everything for £200 so thats playing on my mind haha

If you do go down the vts route make sure you get a good single plug vts engine. And make sure it's got decent miles on it and not space mileage.

update:

i got bored of the clean fresh look so since i have everything in black aswell i thought id swap everything about then went and took a few pics. (sorry cars dirty lol)





back at home:



oh and my favourite picture:



cheers dan
