Default Subaru WRX STI minor paint correction

Process used:

Wash
Clay
IPA wipedown
Black Meg's pad with Menzerna SF4000
Ipa wipedown
Menzerna Powerlock sealant
Chemical Guys 50/50 paste wax
Dress all rubber
scrub the wheels
clean the engine bay

Took about 8 hours, stock Subaru paint is really soft so it corrected (slightly, thus the minor correction) with the black pad.

Forgot to take a lot of pictures, sorry!






































Space was a bit cramped so the after shots don't do much justice

Great job man... had a black car once, never again though. It looks amazing when its freshly detailed but maintenance is a B**ch

There must be something about owning a ranger and an STI is the dream car. I have the same dream. One day. One day soon

Good job man. I duno what it is about Wrx's or Sti's but their owners typically don't take care of the exterior, or interior of the car. I was looking for a Wrx before I bought my Firebird (i was originally only going to have 1 car) and they were all beat, door dings, mega swirls, scratches...I couldn't do it

Some do some don't. If you think about it how many ranger owners don't care about their paint? Same goes with every other car.

Thanks guys.

So the other day I noticed team puma Subaru rally cross semi was parked in my neighbors backyard and got the awesome opportunity to go in the semi.







Don't worry. I got more pictures if anyone is interested, i didn't know there was that many scoob enthusiasts on here. I my self obsess over them. I'm a member on like 5 Subaru forums....

You're so lucky and more pictures for sure. I would be a member on their websites but instead I just stalk them haha don't have time to actually join up and search a lot and stuff.
