Have been lazy recently and not bothered to clean my car at all over the past 3 weeks or so, which I hate doing, as I like to keep my car clean 
Decided that I ought to give it a bit of a wash down today, which ended up being an amateur detailing session 
Used Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo, Followed by Meguiars Clay, Then Gold Class Trim Detailer for the black stuff and Gold Class Liquid Wax for the paintwork. Then inside I just gave it a good hoover and wiped all the trim down with Armor All Matt Dash Wipes.
Pretty chuffed with the result of just under 3 hours work

And some random ones:
New additions for the week are Pipercross Panel Filter and an Ecotec Sticker from Graeme on here to put on my colour coded coil pack cover.
I did have a Sub and Amp lined up but I was conned by a bastard on ebay 
Few more mods lined up over the next month though 
Comments?

My car hasn't been washed in over a month plan to do it when I finish Uni for Christmas though. However it doesn't look as dirty as yours, and is red! haha now looking a darker shade of pink though.
