Flawless Reflections Detailing- 2007 Subaru Forester Sport XT-I

**FlawlessJ** · 01-15-2012, 10:40 PM

This is a friends car that I did for a large car show in the Cincinnati area called the Cavalcade of Customs. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do as far as how much of a correction because my friend left it up to me due to the deal I was giving him, but being the perfectionist I am when it comes to car detailing I couldn't very well put it into a large car show with a sub par detail could I? After washing and claying the car I did my test spot and after reading Mike Phillips The Art of Detailing I went with the least agressive product I had being Menzerna PO85RD and my rotary with a finishing pad... Amazingly with the softness of Subaru paint it pulled out pretty much every imperfection and left an outstanding shine!! I didn't get great before pictures, but I have tons and tons of afters!

Before (Was in good shape but did have quite a bit more to show)

Test Spot (Before)

Test Spot (After)

Roof After

The only focused light shot I could get due to no sun being out...

any feedback you guys have is appreciated!

It isn't yet but he is trying to get a half clip from an STI Forester to do the full swap right hand drive and all. I'll post some engine pics in a little bit

There you go he had the intake powder coated red himself so its not the actual STI one.

Wow real nice job making that car shine.

I love the STI Forester's and it looks as if hes doing a great job with his conversion so far. Needs more LOW ! lol

Is that your car next to his at the show?
