Yesterday I 'helped' my daughter to buy a new car.

Its a Seat Ibiza 1.4 SE in Silver (10 Reg)

Very nice condition, low milage, everything she needs and another VAG model in the family!

But it will need a little correction..although its pretty good and absolutely no stone chips at all

Going to use my rotary and some Gtechniq P1 with a finishing pad and then some Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid Wax

Here are the pics:

Shes bringing it home on Sunday..So weather permitting..a little bit of polishing

Alan..youre invited too.

Chris you appear to have used the interior shot of a Fiesta!

EDITED OUT

Its getting polished tomorrow

Here are the pics after the polish and wax detailing session:

Thanks Alan. You were good with that Rotary...and on your own!!

With Bilt Hamber Finis Wax as the LSP

And then Alan ( bluvrs2 )needed to polish his!!

Looking good Chris!

I hope she is happy with the car and has many happy miles in it! :yes:

...do we need to buy him a paint thickness meter for Xmas?!?!

I think so!!

Might be a decent idea for a PDG!

Good pics there - and a decent gloss and depth on the silver Chris, which is never an easy task

Quite a few on eBay but Ive no idea which one is the best, if any!!

I'd naturally be a bit wary of buying something like this via eBay, unless from a recommended/trusted seller, for a named product.

Elite offer this one:
