Here's Angry35 I detailed this week as an urgent job before a Formal.

Crap pictures as they were taken with my phone. When It arrived it had some clear sap, what looked to be black paint specs, and some silver overspray on it and it lacked depth of shine.

I've done this car before, and its going up for sale so the owner asked me for a quick pre-sale cleanup. Didn't go nuts with this car removing swirls and scratches, just wanted to make it look decent for the sale. Plus its a not a proper paid job :P

Don't have any before pics but it was in pretty good shape, well looked after and garaged with some usual dirt and grime and lack of wax etc

The outside was washed with Bowden's Body Gel, clayed with Meguair's clay and Megiuar's Last Touch as clay lube. The roof and bootlid had a quick polish with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to remove some deep-ish scratches, light oxidation and water marks... poor colour match on the rear door/quarter evident in the first pic too :rolleyes:

Engine bay was cleaned with Bowden's Agent Orange and plastics dressed with 303 Aerospace... Wheels were cleaned with Bowden's Wheely Clean and some random brushes, then sealed with Chemical Guys Wheel Guard. Tyres were cleaned with Agent Orange and dressed with Meguiar's Endurance Gel. Wheel arches were also dressed with Bowden's Tyre Shine

Interior got a good vacuum, cleaned with Autoglym Interior cleaner, plastics dressed with 303 Aerospace, leather wheel and gearknob cleaned and treated with Lexol products and glass done with Meguiar's Glass Cleaner.

Door, bonnet and boot jambs done with Last Touch (awesome all-round quick detailer and cheap in bulk)...

And finally, the outside got a layer of Meguiar's Step 2 Deep Chrystal Polish for a bit more gloss and swirl filling, then a coat of Collinite 476s for protection. Outside plastic trims, wiper arms and door frames all got a layer of 303 Aerospace as well

cheers guys...Scott i thought you would of seen it on FB mate..

Paint was Debeer base and Body Shop generic acrylic clear...rubbed it with 1200 then some finer sanding pads (2-2500 maybe) and buffed with fg500..pretty simple really..though time consuming...clear could do with some more finishing work but there is only so much effort I am willing to put into a toyota Echo :P

i was amazed how well the colours blended together actually..I cant even really see the blend lines now

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
