Critical Details: Subaru STI Hatchback (Obsidian Black Pearl) - Major Paint Correction + Opti-Coat

[CriticalDetails]

This 2008 Obsidian Black Pearl Subaru STI Hatchback came in for a multiple day reconditioning detail that included: Rust Bloom Removal, Major Paint Correction, Opti-Coat Application, Opti-Glass Application and Interior Rejuvenation Detail. I have heard how incredibly soft and sticky the OBP Subaru paint is and I thought I had a good idea of what I was going up against. I was mistaken! The stickiness of the paint made wiping away the polish and performing the isopropyl alcohol wipe downs quite challenging. I ended up having to perform a three step paint correction finishing with Menzerna PO85RD on a grey Lake Country buffing pad to achieve the desired level of correction.

The vehicle owner chose to have Opti-Coat applied to the Obsidian Black Pearl paint to help minimize wash induced marring and any hard water spots in the future. The STI has a Cobb SF Intake, Accessport Stage One Tune and a P&L Street Series Cat Back Exhaust.

Thank you very much. In my opinion nothing beats freshly polished black paint.

I feel the same way. That's why both of my BMW's are jet black.

Jet Black is always a pain to work with, but when freshly polished. IMO it looks so beautiful.

Great Video and Great Work!

I have to ask where do you find this music?

Sonax PF should be sold along side all black Subaru.

Thank you. Typically I find new music on YouTube by clicking the suggested links. However this song was sent to me by a family member.

I have been reading great things about Sonax polishes and Sonax Polymer Net Shield lately.

Outstanding work as usually and I know I keep saying the same thing, but great videos as always.
