2012 Subaru BRZ

[slickooz]

A friend of mine just recently bought the new Subaru BRZ. And I was lucky enough to perform a new car detail for him.

He got the car on Monday and the paint was already in rough shape, due to pollen and rain. The only thing the dealership did to the car was peel the plastic and stickers off. After claying, the paint was in very good condition except for a few etching from bird dropping.

Here when the car arrived. Overall in decent shape.

When he arrived I went and rinsed the car with my pressure washer.

Then went and started up the Foam cannon. Used Hyper wash and OPC to help loosen up the dirt.

Let the foam dwell for a couple minutes.

Rinsed everything off.

Two bucket method with Duragloss 901 car soap.

Wash the car from top to bottom.

Then rinse all the soap off.

Then used lead blower to blow out all the water in cervices.

Pulled the car inside and started claying with Meguair's kit clay.

The garage use to be full to the top, one small walk way. After cleaning up for a couple days and taking down few shelves. Now I can fit a car inside and detail it comfortably.

After claying was done, I used IPA mixture to clean the surface. Forgot to take photos of it.

We decided on BFWD because he wanted something durable and that will make his car look shiny/wet.

Used Griot's with Lake country blue pad to apply sealant.

Finished sealing, took a 10 min break and let the wax cure for a bit. BFWD was so easy to remove. One of my favorite sealant. I'm not sure how durable it is compared to Klasse but it was a breeze taking it off. Can't say the same for Klasse.

Used Invisible Glass with Rain Repellent on outside windows and Meguair's glass cleaner on the inside.

Here a short video showing the difference without and with Rain Repellent.

My new work space.

The interior was vacuumed and dash and door was sprayed with 303 protectant.

Here are some after photos.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! I opti-coated it's twin earlier this week. Beautiful cars, but rather anemic when you put your foot down. Hoping Subaru does something with the 1.6 DI turbo engine they've got, or TRD puts out a supercharger kit.

Really nice job. Looks like Subaru has really stepped up their game. It looks like a 350Z and a RX7 had a child..really nice car. I think you'll find BFWD to be just as durable as Klasse and MUCH easier to work with.
