[Nick Goodall]

This is the other Celica of a guy that works with my Dad, i said i'd give it a good going over and see what i could do.

Here's how it arrived

First gave the car a covering of Snow Foam

After this i went round the car with some G101 and a brush

Wheels were then sprayed with Very Cherry (Acid free) and then scrubbed

The whole car was then clayed, it wasn't picking up a massive amount dirt wise but there was a texture all over the car that the clay soon cleared and left a really nice smooth finish.

After claying i rinsed the whole car off, and then sprayed it with some Meguiars Last Touch to use as a drying aid

After a few sprays

Machine polish stage was next, so i taped up the car and got the machine ready - Started with an SFX-2 Pad and SFX-2 Polish, this was getting good results right away so i carried on around the whole car with it
Few 50/50 shots

The weather turned on me so i had to get the car into the garage, dry it off.

I decided to go with a Sealant, and see how well it stands up against the Dodo Wax i used on Paul's other Celica (Gen6) - I'm hoping it will stand up well as this is more his daily driver so will see more of the harsh conditions over the winter.

I put a layer on the whole car, and decided to buff it off using the machine with a buffing bonnet over a soft pad as i know this stuff is pretty hard going when buffing by hand.

To say i was shocked is an understatement, the gloss and depth to the colour was incredible, it literally lit up and just looked almost plastic if that makes sense? I am very impressed anyway and looking forward to hearing how long it lasts as it should be months.

Here are the pics anyway - Also please accept my apologies about the amount, i was just so impressed i couldn't stop taking photo's.....
