| Amateur STI Driver | I have talked to a customer from nasioc about doing a one step polish/exterior detail on his 04 wrx. When I got there in the am I inspected the car and realized there were quite few RIDS, and heavy swirling. so I recomended him to do a 2 step inn order to bring the paint back to a high gloss. the only problem is that he was working from 9 to 5h30pm and this was the only time I would get for all the work (including a quick interior detail:vacuum, wipe down etc.). Product used: ONR wash p21 taw/wheel CG window CG pruple clay meg mild clay DP clay lube CG fade to black CG GR makita LC ccs orange, white, red+PWF Menz SIP+106 pinacle souverain After the onr wash: ![]() ![]() wheels clean: ![]() under the ligths you can see quite a few rids and swirls: ![]() I was in a hurry so I didn't have time to take a lot of pics but here is 50/50 after one pass of orange/SIP I didn't wipe all the polish residue ![]() The hood befor and after one pass PWF/SIP few holograms most swirls are gone ![]() ![]() Door panel after 106/white final inspection: This ad is not endorsed by this member.

| Amateur STI Driver | after pinacle souverain/dusting: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I started at 9am and was done at 4h30pm with no lunch! and of course as I left early I forgot to have breakfast! I was dead at the end of the day. I promise the owner to do as fast as possible to keep the bill low. when the owner came back the only thing I heard was holly sh*y! so I suppose he was happy with the results which is my motivation for doing this job the best I can and not eating all day! |

| Amateur STI Driver | Smoke: thanks, the purple is really aggressive which is nice but its texture tend to be a little dry and is not really strechable, so it is easy to leave little purple pieces in cracks/crevices. (hope it makes sense) peleg: pin souv is a great wax for darker colors and make the car look really deep. The owner/developer recently posted an article about souv somewhere talking about how it was developed etc really interesting but I can't find it anymore. Also it is one of the easiest to apply and wipe off |

IWSTI Addict since: Apr 2004 Trader Rating: (3) | Klassedetail-Will the swirls re-appear after a bunch of washes or does the orange/SIP completely get rid of them? Great job by the way!! This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
