Today I made myself usefull and got the car clean for the winterperiod. She'll be sleeping in the garage and the cosmetic part is done now.
I Used Meguiars NXT carwash, clay and NXT 2.0 Wax on it.
Unfortunately no sun today so not the nices pic's










I'm happy with the result

I can really advice using the claybar with detailer (you need to use them together) to everybody. It really brings out the best in you cars paint ! It will make a real difference in just washing or washing and claybar it

It's not the cheapest stuff, but post your results!

 

today went for a new windshield....damn that rust !!!

Well, pic's say it all. Need to have some repairs done before the new window gets in

 

Well...this was the only spot I haven't seen before, so yes I can say after repairs that the car is rustfree .

All I need to do is keep it that way, but standing in a garage will help me a lot .

 

Car is at the shop now for the rustrepairs... will take about 3-4 weeks as his hands are full at this moment. But hey, I trust him and he delivered quality for value 3x allready . Besides of that...I don't drive the Celica in wintermonths

 

I'll tell you in januari when I get the car back

 

it was 280 euro's to repair....

and let's bore you with some pics I just made:

 

Yes, it was expensive but a well done job.

btw...hitting 200 km/h is great

Even if it wasn't in germany hahaha
