      Came here to say the same! x2 on the metal polish, and x100 on the $300-$500 budget transformations. Without stepping up to more expensive cars though, keep the cars similar to what we're getting now, just with a little bit more mod sprinkle to it.

    i'd recommend getting some clay bars. they are cheap and they are great at removing contaminants, like adhesives, brake dust iron, and mold. also a good iron remover spray would help a lot. Another tip for restoring the headlights, use your buffer for the compound. It'll save you time and elbow grease, as well as yeild a better result.

    You’ve inspired me to do a two stage build with my 99’ civic hatch. Currently going through stage one where it’s a budget build, and my stage two will be fixing all odds and ends. I’ve primarily focused on the inside for my budget build. I got a ap1 s2000 steering wheel with a nice wrap on it. My carpets are died black and my headliner is a black and white confetti. I have 01’ crv seats in the front and the bench without the backs for the rear seat. My car came 100% stock with minimal rust and 150k miles.

    It still looks a lot better than some examples I've seen. The most common impreza in Israel is a 1.6l 105hp front wheel drive automatic. It's the barest base model you can think of and people beat on them relentlessly. A fun fact for you: before Subaru's debut in the US the country where they sold the most cars was israel. The humble Subaru Leone is an iconic car for us and quite a lot of them are kept by enthusiasts.

    As a blobeye WRX owner it was nice to see this simple build. I would had taken the restoration a little further by giving it a good hand wax and painting the calipers. To get those wheels clean I recommend using Eagle one Mag wheel cleaner. Its pretty much wheel acid that professional detailers use. I used a similar product back when I used to detail cars. It works like a charm on the toughest grime with a brush. Just make sure to not let it sit for too long in the hot sun.

  • @DaGrinchx5

Did it on my Jetta with horrible caked on break dust and it melted right off. 😊
