Default New to me C4

Well I just picked up a 1995 LTI 6 spd car. Needs some tlc and some fixes, but got a good deal and have been enjoying it so far. I am sure I will be perusing all the posts on suspension and brake upgrades and the like.

Awesome looking C4 - love the color - I've owned (2) red C4s...

Now it's time to get that baby detailed...

Start out with a nice wash, then clay it, then polish it, then wax it... That engine needs a little TLC too. Spray some simple green and agitate with a soft brush. Lightly / mist rinse with hose (cover your alternator). Hit it with some protector or plastic/rubber coating for a shine and that baby will be looking sweet!!

Best of luck with her!!

Nice buy! These C4's are really underrated and offer best bang for the buck in my opinion.

The PO’s choice of wheel offset could use some refinement

What ever you do, DONT use a hose on the engine compartment, you'll regret it, trust me. Go to Sam's Club and buy the cheap microfiber towels 36 for 16 bucks and some simple green, use a spray bottle and spray the towel only. That's how I did mine
