Last weekend, I did the winter prep. for my Subaru Impreza GT.
The car is mainly driven in the weekend, and especially on track.
I live about a 2.5 hours drive from the famous Nurburgring were I'm a very regular driver !
Normally it get's a wash every week (or two weeks, :hide: ) and the occaisional waxing.
About two months ago I did the whole process of polshing with my Flex Rotary.
(SFX-pads, Sonus 1-2-3, Swissol Samurai carnauba...)
This weekend I did the following steps :
For the interior I did the following :
Some shots before, with bug splatter and other attacks after a weekend on track :
Equipped with Pirelli Pzero Corsa street legal race tyres, for serious cornering without squeeling ! :
And after :
Now it's waiting for snow, for lot's of sideways fun.
My car has already done 70.000 Miles, were almost half is on track, except from minor damage on front bumper/windscreen it's total damage free.
I have ordered some Poorboys/Optimum/ and other new stuff to try out...

This weekend I did the following steps :
- - Was my car with Zymol shampoo, Lambswool mitt, etc...
- -Cleaned wheel wells and tyres with MC2 citrus/orange degreaser 1:3
- -Clean wheels and tyres with MC2 and OXO wheel brush kit.
- -Steamcleaning door-jambs and engine
- -Claying with very soapy wtaer as lubricant on parts were needed.
- -Spot polishing with rotary and SFX pads : underside of doors, roof and other parts were needed, thereby using the new formula SFX polishes and DACP #83
- -Final polishing step with AIO (small cracks, doorjambs, wiperhandles, lights, etc...)
- -Layering 3 coats of Klasse SG, divided on Saturday and Sunday.
- -Apllied 2 coats of Swissol Samurai carnauba wax, using Sonus Detail Spritz and a yellow foam pad.
- -Waxed wheels with Turtle Wax wheel wax, very easy to use, wowo, leaves a very slick finish.
- -Applied 303 on all black trim, including wheel wells and tyres.
- -All glass with AIO, inside and outside (works way better than RainX or any other glass cleaning product)
- -Stand back while I was wiping the sweat of my forehead....LOL
For the interior I did the following :
- -Cleaned all vinyl, dashboard, all plastic etc with MC2 1:3
