Friday we finally got some time to clean up the car. We started by removing the side moldings and rear trunk lip so we could clean underneath them. I wanted to remove the side skirts and flares but it proved to be too much of a job at the time, and people on here have told me it's a real PITA to get them both off then back on. We then proceeded to give it a good wash.
After that we pulled the interior so Jenny could thoroughly clean the carpet and interior while I focused on detailing the exterior.
Here are a couple comparison images of what the paint looked like before and after.
By the time I got done with the exterior it was too dark to take pics, but we were able to snap a few of the interior.
The sun finally gave us a chance to snap some pics of the exterior today. I think it turned out very well. The first one is a before pic, so you can compare and contrast.
Next we're going to paint the trim and put it back on, get a tire for the basketweaves and put those back on, and possibly paint the kidney's. I'm pretty sure Jenny wants to shadowline it at some point, and I know she'll be looking for Zinno plastic bumpers for a swap. She's deeply in love and very happy with the purchase. Stay tuned!Comment

Very nice stuff.
I heard using Kiwi black shoe polish will bring back the shine on the bumpers and other black trim pieces, but you can always use SEM trim paint, works like a charm.Reminiscing...Comment

Looks nice! Ben and I still need to detail our (his) iX. We (I) have been too busy addressing all of the other problems with the car to worry too much about the paint. Plus I don't think cleaning up the white paint will be as rewarding as red paint, but I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. Nice car. :)sigpicComment

What are those black vents (ducts) under the carpet, under the seat? I took my seats out the other day (to strip it) and the wire was connected to my seats; didn't know why it was connected to a wire.
Nice ix!!! I absolutely love the ix on rainy days; not so much on dry days.Comment

Thanks for the comments guys. What's interesting is the two pin wire under the driver seat doesn't connect anywhere I can seem to see, even after removing the seat and looking. What's the purpose of it being connected to the seat if the car doesn't have a seat belt indicator light?
A few days ago we bought new tires for the basketweaves because driving on studs sucks, and Jenny hated how the steelies looked. I was going to take some pics but the guys put the wheel weights on the outside. Today she got a chance to drop the car off so they could swap them to the back of the wheels.
