Oakes - Detailed: 2008 Subaru STi - JohnnyH
 

Car belongs to a forum member, JohnnyH, vehicle was severely marred when it was delivered by the dealership "Detailer" using a buffer and wax on a brand new car. Beyond me as to why, but 8 hours of work later and she looks better than new.

The pictures are staged in order with how the car arrived, then after wash and clay, and After double polish and insulator wax

Process:
Wash/Clay using meguiars and Hydrogloss
Buffed with Ardex SealB
Polished with Deep Crystal
Sealed with Collinites Insulator wax NO. 845
Wheels and exhaust done with New Wave

The different angles are to try and get the most sunlight in the reflection, but as you can tell I gradually lost it as the day went on.
