First ever complete detail and paint correction 03 WRX

[tersplat]

So today turned out to be a snow day, and the base was closed, so I decided to put all of my new car wash products to use. I used the following products, I wanted to try to stick with one manufacturer, so here it is.

-Nanoskin green apple Bubble Bath
-Nanoskin microfiber towels
-Nanoskin autoscrub 7" towel
-Nanoskin Glide lube
-Nanoskin Formula 67 polish
-Nanoskin Microbuff yellow pads
-Nanoskin Microbuff black pads
-Nanoskin Microbuff blue pads
-Nanoskin Speed Cut compound
-Nanoskin Nanoceramic sealant
-Meguire's Water Magnet waffle weave drying towel
-Porter Cable 7424XP
-Grit Guard's for 2 bucket method
-Autozone microfiber wash mitt
-Stoners Invisible Glass
-Rain-X

I will be writing a review on everything I used when I have some time, but here are some pictures

Before:












Swirls and just general paint haze from 11 years of neglect












Scratches on hood scoop that went through the clear and into the primer in spots. I did the best I could here, but it still is far from perfect.








And After

Cool results. Big NanoSkin fan I see. How well does their Speed Cut work compared to similar compounds you've used?

Nice! Are those rainbow colored brembos?

Nice work

Great job. I love that color. I saw where the clear coat had broken down on the pre shots of the left front fender. How did you deal with that?

Looking good! Like the stance.

What which tires are you running?

Looks good. How many hours? Hope I don't get bashed for this lol, I'd like to guess between 8-12 hours

Looks good. That generation and hatchback version of WRX will always be my favorite.

It brings back good memories of watching Peta Solberg drive a sedan version in the WRC.

Thoughts on the micro buff pads? Their design is pretty interesting

Not good job but GREAT JOB for your first time!

Love the color and always loved the hood scoops on these Subarus....
