I dont have kids yet. Maybe thats why i have time for all this detailing 
But yeah the car comes fully galvanized from the factory, and when i'm done with all my anti rust spray, the car will be a few kilos heavier but im pretty sure it will never rust
About polishing. Where i bought the polish kit they stated that after using it, there will be a layer of protective film. But i know that polished aluminum needs to get repolished now and then. But i need to have something to do after i finish the car right
A layer of clear coat is not good. Because its now polished and a smooth surface, the clear coat can not adhere. I think it will come off in flakes over time.

Hi Steve
No, you didnt miss it, but i havent showed anything about it because i want it to be a surprice
But heres a little front bumper update. Like many of you guys in here talked about, it would look more clean with the headlight washers gone. So here goes.
Needed some of the same plastic as the bumber, so figured i would take some pieces from behind the number plate. The finish behind that doesnt matter that much because its not visible, so will just cover the holes with some fiberglass later on.
Sanding, plastic welding, sanding, filler, sanding, filler, sanding, and some spray filler to complete the job.
Almost ready for paint. But i have one more card up my sleeve. Stay tuned

I little update...
But the Cusco strut tower bar was the wrong one. It lays on top of the engine cover so i did some searching and found out that i got the wrong one. This is for the GS not the SC
So it got shipped back and waiting for the right one that fits without laying directly on the engine cover.
