2015 WRX Corrected & Opti Coated

[tdekany]

I haven't posted in ages here. Anyway, here is a car that was in need of some TLC. Only a few weeks old, but the paint was already full of scratches and water spots. No cobweb swirls though.

Started at 11:00am and finished it at 1:30am. Customer picked the car up this morning.

Process was:

Cleaned wheels with numerous brushes and 3D yellow degreaser
Pressure washer rinse
Dawn wash
Clay towel
Dry
Taped off plastic trim around the car
HD ADAPT, Flex 3401/Rupes 21 and cutting pad
OPTI Primer and polishing pad
Tires received 3D trim care gel
Opti Coat Pro on paint, front and rear lights, trim

[derek0609]

Excellent work, just wish Subaru could make that thing look good some how. The front end scares me.......

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Beautiful work Thomas!

[Every_detail]

Looks good. The new body style is slowly growing on me.

[EVOlved]

Beautiful work!! With the camera also!! I thought I was going to really like the new body style but I may have to say not so much.

[theautospa]

[Danube]

Excellent work for sure.

[tdekany]

Excellent work for sure.

Thank you!

I love Subarus, especially the WRX. I wish they would bring back the hatchback, that body style was really growing on me.

That WRX looks great, nice work. I was just wondering why you choose to use HD Adapt over Uno or one of their other polishes.

Thanks! For me ADAPT is the perfect polish. Cuts very well, finishes amazing and no dust. Much better than HD CUT or HD UNO.

PS: we are getting a Subaru Outback this week. Truck should be here tomorrow.

Detailed and Opti Coated this brand new STI - just for you geekdout :)
