2005 White STI

So i was in the mids of making my web-site when i was looking for photos of cars that i have done and amazingly they are almost gone. But i came accross these.

This is a car ive done awhile ago, and about the 20th or so car i used a PC on.

I used megs nxt wash
mothers clay bar
megs polish
zymol wax

Took me around 5 hours with a helper... Prolly would have taken 3 if it wasnt a friend of mines car and my helper didnt keep distracting me... heh... wont get into that. Anyways to the pictures....

Before...



Nastiest Rim ever... well and wheel well... this is after using megs wheel cleaner, and simple green rinced obviously...


Afters...



and for some fun... we went looking for some places to take some pics...
noticed i missed a spot with vac...


some warehouse pics where i used to work



some random place



some garage action



all and all i have done much better on older cars. But this thing started sexy with very little swirl... very fine scratches that came out with out even trying. this is my buddies car and i can't wait to get to drive... detail it again. its my first post in show n shine so... let me know what you think..

Wow, I like the "random place" and the garage shots. What kind of Zymol wax was used? That white is so bright and looks wet in the 2nd gas station pic.

The only liquid Zymol wax I've seen is a cleaner wax that is OTC.
