    2011 Subaru STI Minor Correction Detail + Aquartz

    Hi guys

    I have a 2011 STI in for Minor correction + Aquartz. This Subaru was the most challenging paint I ever dealt with, the clearcoat just sucks whatever polish I lay on it. I used Menz Powerfinish, superfinish, and AF Rejuvenate, but none of them worked. After 2 hrs of testing, I found baby oil does the trick with Menz powerfinish and Uber green polishing pad. This was not a full paint correction, but the owner really wanted something to aid his washing, so he chose to have Aquartz applied.

    anyway I made a video, pictures will come later..

    Thanks for looking!!
    Any questions or comments are welcome!!

    Gotta agree with Spardavr4 and I drive a wrx... Temporarily lol. Great work and I'm not sure if they changed the clearcoat for the new OBP STi's, but I detailed an 07' OBP STi and it was very easy to do. I used Menzerna polishes as well.
