Well, for only 17k miles this car has seen it's share of scratches and bad details, needless to say I came to the rescue. A lot of pics to show the scratches before and after the polishing and the car itself. British Racing green really is a neat color!

Process:
Washed using Meguiar's Gold Class
Clay barred with Hydrogloss
Deep Crystal Paint cleaner/prep
Deep Crystal polish
Deep Crystal Carnuaba
New wave used on wheels
Topped with Showroom shine

It's in better shape now, the owner makes the mistake of letting their son drive the car, hence the careless shape it was in. They might be trading it in on an XF now though

DPancoast · 03-22-2009, 09:19 PM

woah i didnt know about the steel wool. you can do it on my car without a motor! I cant wait any longer

Kevin · 03-22-2009, 09:30 PM

Would of helped if the before and after shots were all in the same location & lighting.

Otherwise, looks good.

JDMTyler3326 · 03-22-2009, 09:34 PM

I really like that color.

I know, it was hard today with the overcast

Don't worry, I have an 08 STi thread coming soon where I paid much more attention to the pics. Just for you.

Well I guess that would explain it. XF = fun.
