Originally met the owner of this 2003 Subaru Outback a few years ago, he kept my contact information and called me a couple weeks ago about his 2003 Subaru Outback. We met up so I could look it over, noticed a plethora of swirls and a general haziness to the paint. He'd never had a car detailed before so he asked me to do what I could with one polishing step.



Even without the sun you can see the swirls and haze, this is after an ONR wash and Optimum grey Opti-Raser

The paint was similar to Honda's Nighthawk Pear;, which is not only soft, but on the sticky side. Most polishes try to weld themselves to the paint making them extremely difficult to remove. Usually I go with Meguiars #205 but figured I'd give 3D HD Polish a try since it has more cut.



3D HD Polish using an Optimum microfiber polishing pad and my PC:

The paint was sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal, tires/fenderwells dressed with Armor All

Wow, great result for one step. Its amazing what the combination of pad/product/experienced detailer can get done!

Nice work Sir..... Lovin that flake in the paint.



May I ask how many passes you needed with HD Polish/ MF Pad ?



The hood and front fenders needed two passes (working until mostly clear), rest mostly needed 1.
 
Nice work Guy's! Gotta love Subaru colors, lots of depth and not to many out there like it. For a first "Detail" your customer got a good idea of a proper correction! I'll bet you'll be hearing from him again to keep it up!
