pommy 33 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 As some of you may know I had to sell the "Is" due to the wife heading to the uk to study. Well I got bored very quickly and had nothing to tinker with. I thought I needed another project unfortunatly I ]am on a very limited budget as the pound is'nt helping at the moment. And so stumbled across this it was the right price and a good start! before you all laugh I know its only a 1.6i but it was NZ new one owner, five speed and straight!

zenetti 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Looks very tidy after the cut and polish! My wife's red Airtrek is starting to fade badly as well. Someone recommended Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and then heaps of wax. What did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone recommended Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and then heaps of wax. What did you use? thanks mate! yes the Meguiar's range is great. I used a product called Autoglym cut and wax and some hard elbow grease. then used two coats of meguirs canuba wax and this was the result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
