And a nasty polishing mark on the bonnet…

During…

After…

Scratch gone…

Holograms removed from the rear panel…

Snowfoamed…

Then dried off, it was clayed, re-washed dried off again and the Poorboys Black Hole was applied before topping of with HD Wax and this is how it looked…

After…

It went on to win Best Standard Newage on the day against appoximately 20 other Imprezas.

Kates has horse’s you see so all the trips to the stables takes it’s toll on the car, I did the interior first for a change just because it appeared to probably require more work than the exteror all that Hay and sand seemed to get everywhere.

A bit of tar removal required…

Some paint correction needed to sort out a poor repair…

Whatever the owner used on this car, it couldn’t cut through the brake dust on the wheels…

The owner of this car has a white dog!

During…

It was clayed (took 2 hours) and some panels had a large amount of contaminants. The doors and the sills were especially bad, and others (Boot) were clean. I have since been told that the boot is from a WRX and Sprayed by Cupra Jake. No shade difference at all I was very impressed.

After…

This car is a credit to it’s owner I loved all the little subtle mods. See if you can spot them!

A rather suspcious mark on the bumper!

After….

The suspcious mark polished away

A stunning car in my opinion and something that I would be very proud of if it was sat in my garage.

During…

The car was snowfoamed and the wheels cleaned with Bilberry.

The tar was removed from all the panels, shuts and wheels.

After vacuuming, the whole of the interior was initially cleaned with Autoglym Interior cleaner with various brushes sponges and cloths. This brought great results apart from the rear seats which still needed some work. A stronger stain remover was used which still didn’t bring the rear seats up to scratch so, as a last resort, Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover was used…quite extreme but it works!

The seats were then soaked in water and vaccumed.

The interior and exterior were then dressed, Super Resin Polish applied and these are the results…not bad for over 100K on the clock and 17 years old!

After…

• The wheels were treated with a special product I have and cleaned with a wheel brush.
• It was then snow foamed and power washed off.
• The tar was then treated with a product designed for this however great care needs to be taken as it strips all protection from the paintwork.
• The car washed then two bucket method and then towel dried.
• The paintwork was then treated to a wax cleaner rather than claying as the owner had previously clayed it so there weren’t many bonded contaminents.
• It was then polished with SRP, and a few areas were polished with Menzerna to sort out a couple of paint defects, before the whole car being waxed with Colonite 915 hard wax.
• The whole interior was hoovered and then washed down with Meguiars APC and it removed the marks from the seats and brought the dash up a treat.

This was the tar as a result of the road being resurfaced:

After the tar had been completely removed:

Despite the tar, the car was well cared for…not that this meant it received any lesser attention!:

6 hours later and job done!
