i cleaned the car today...


washed
(mild soap and wash mit)

paint cleaner
(removes any sap or stuck on road grime)

paint polish
(brings back a deep shine)

carnuba wax
(good protection and a smooth finish)

took the wheels off and detailed them
(yes, with a toothbrush)
lol...i even put rubber conditioner/protectant on the insides of the tires before in bolted them back up

cleaned the suspension components
(sprayed them down with quick detailer spray and then wiped everything clean)

plastic cleaner on the headlights/taillights
(eliminates fine scratches/swirls marks)

windex w/lime on the glass
(cuts through water spots and leaves a smooth finish on the glass)

did a final once over with a fine mist of filtered water to eliminate any leftover residue






these arent the best pics, i just thought that id snap a few to show the reflections on the silver paint...opinions?

I have 148,000 in my 93 Impreza L. Still drives like new (enginewise) My suspension is blown, even though I have replacements. I just cant get any bolts loose. I broke a few sockets and adapters yesterday trying to get the lower bolts off from my suspension. I couldnt get one off.... My brakes are good now though with the brembos. I put 10,000 miles on this car since I bought it in the end of December. Drives better than when I bought it. It needed some harder driving (and a new fuel pump, lol)
