05 STi Correction

Excellent work, you can really see the clarity restored after polishing on the trunk/badge area.



Nice job... looks super black now!
 
beautiful car - i've always loved those babies. great work and i'm surprised at the extreme contamination - always makes it e-z to see who isn't keep their car waxed as often as they should..
 
Love the WRX in black -especially when they did the black with bronze-ish metal flakes. (I think it was early models non Sti)

Ah yes Java Black Pearl. Subaru quit making it after '04, the Black '04 (first year) STi's were JBP.



My mother in laws forester is JBP, here's a pic of her hood after some correction.

Thanks for all the comments!



Right now the car is "stage 2". With the reflash and turbo-back exhaust it's suppose to be ~359hp and ~385lb.-ft at the crank. Not a lot by many WRX guys but plenty to make me happy.







I figure the more I can do to lessen the chance that I get swirls on the black the better. The foam is suppose to help loosen dirt and what not, before hand washing. I can say it makes washing the car much easier. The other day, I knew it was going to rain but, my car was pretty dirty. I rinsed it, sprayed some foam on, and rinsed after a few minutes. It almost looked as good as if I had really washed it. Right now I'm using Adam's Car Wash, mega foam and it smells good too.

Okay! kind like a presoak? I might give this a try with our foam polish at our car wash I bet its about the same as the foam gun, all it is, is air water and chemical right?
 
Yeah, here's a pic of the Camspray foam gun I have. I just fill the bottle with some soap and water, hook it to my pressure washer, and go.

Wow, great correction. I always have liked this body style Suby.



Did you consider any other cars before deciding on this one?
 
Thanks. A friend of mine got one while we were in college when they first came out ('04). I wanted one ever since. This one was at a local dealer for a good deal with decent mileage, so I went for it. Feels good to have a car that I wanted and never really felt like I would have. Although if I didn't have a work car, I probably wouldn't have it.
 
very nice corrrections and great job, black is beautiful



Just wondering, what size pads did you use with the PC? 5.5? 6.5?
