My Silver WRX Sti VII Pro Pack extra with over 350BHP
I have a blue STi also, and am a professional detailer. When you have a dark colored car, you want to wash it and wax it with the softest materials you can find. The darker the color, the more scratches it will show. Drive thru car washes are always a bad idea. So wash your car with a soft mitt and some non-abrasive soap, and even though you don't want to wax it at least once a month with a soft applicator and soft cloths to protect against surface scratches and more importantly ACID RAIN :evil:
