I am planning on getting that, yes :) I emailed them the other day, and im pretty sure theres another member on here with one.

Went out with some mates tonight. Got a better picture of the rear of the car. I know its really dirty, im waiting for an order to turn up :sad1:
Also managed to get a photo of my curbed wheel :fighting: Not happy. Did this on the first day i got the car. Also realised the rims have been plasti dipped by the previous owner!
Thats not the worst part though. After parking the car, i could hear air coming from somewhere, turned out it was the rear right side tyre. Managed to get a nice sharp bit of metal in it, so had to fit the space saver!
I did figure out how to use launch control though aha!

Well, i got up this morning and thought it would be a perfect day to wash the car since im off from work and uni. I started out with this! :sick:
As you can see, it was horrible.
I started out with some Auto Finesse Avalanche snow foam. I can't say i'm impressed by this product yet as it didn't seem thick compared to the Chemical Guys Honey Dew foam i was using on my old car. It also didn't seem to drag as much dirt off as i'd expected. Maybe i just didn't use enough!
After rinsing the remaining foam off the car, i used the 2 bucket method with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash + Gloss. I absolutely love this stuff!
Got the car dried up and started cleaning the glass. I used AG Fast Glass and the results were pretty good. I probably could have cleaned the inside of the windows better but they still look good. The whole car was polished with some AG Super Resin Polish, and then i went back over the car with some Poorboys Black Hole. The tyres and plastic trims were treated to some Chemical Guys New Trim Gel. I was surprised at how well the skirts and rear valance came up with this stuff. Unfortunately it started to rain so i headed inside. I still need to put some wax and seal the paintwork!
While cleaning the car i did notice quite a few paint work problems that i want sorting. So that probably means a full respray if the bit can't be sorted without it! Only found 1 dent though, the rest are scratches and marks!
Joshy:
Finally managed to get the rear wiper off this morning as the wiper puller tool i ordered arrived!
That panel that covers the motor was definitely the worst thing i've ever had to remove :fighting:
Went from this
To this after spending half an hour polishing around the hole with AG fast glass!
