AJ Auto Detail: Impreza STi HACKED

[ajnavo61490]

Here is a 3 week old Impreza STi that was hacked by the dealership before delivery. The owner told me he stated to the salesman that he did NOT want it washed. Instead, he insisted to put his "black paint specialist" to clean it up before the pick-up time. Well, let me tell you that he is more like a black paint assassin.



Rims received Chemical Guys Wheel Gel then agitated with brushes. Tires and wells got Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser. Foamed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Clear and washed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Gloss using 2BM.

The car was then dried, clayed, and taped up ready for paint correction. The paint was VERY SOFT and sticky so I used Meguiars M105/White @ speed 5 then Menzerna Nano/Blue @ speed 5. KEEP IN MIND THIS CAR IS 3 WEEKS OLD!

The car then received an IPA wipedown and foam/rinse to rid of all the oils and polish dust. I then used my D/A to spread on the Chemical Guys JetSeal109 using a Blue pad. While the sealant was curing, I continued to dress the tires and polish up the exhaust tips.

Great job!!! I never thought of trying M105 on LC white before. I'll have to give that a try. How did it finish up (before Menz Nano and LC blue)?



Please tell me the customer brought the hacked pics to the dealer to encourage them to fire or at least re-assign their "expert".

Just getting home Alex and wanted to tell you again "Awesome Job!" :2thumbs: I did get caught in the rain on the way home but it doesnt look as dirty as I thought it would get. It is amazing the difference from when I dropped it off to now. I will definitely be giving your cards out to the gang as I know they will be impressed! Again, Thank you so very much!

I will give the salesman a call but I seriously doubt they will do anything and I dont know if its worth waisting my time. But I will show him how a proper "Specialist" works!
