Hey everyone!
Waxin' Willys was presented with quite the challenge this weekend. I had a 2006 Subaru Legacy come in. The owner wanted a full paint correction as well as the interior to be restored to "as new as we could get it looking."
The car was dropped off Saturday night and I started working on it ASAP as it was going to take a long time. After doing a walk around (inside and out) I realized I had my work cut out for me. The paint was in bad condition. It had NEVER been waxed and washed only a few times a year. The interior had lots of stains (on both the carpeting and the leather) and had only been vacuumed a couple of times.
I also want to say that I used the CG Blacklight/V7 combo for the first time ever on this car. As the pictures will show, the results were awesome and I WILL be using this combo again
There are tons of pics here, including before and afters. Let's get to it!! Products used:
Equipment used:
The Legacy as it was upon arrival
The wheels before cleaning
As you can see, the paint is dull, faded and in need of some TLC
A couple examples of the swirls I would be dealing with (this was after I washed the car)
The Meg's wheel brightener brought the wheels back to a wonderful shine!
I started hitting the paint with the 105. I did between 10-14 section passes on each section depending on how much work was needed. I would check my progress with the swirl finder light after each section. I used some clay lube to extend working time if needed. Here are some before/afters using a tape line
