Haven't posted one in a while: 02 Subaru Forrester *56k warning*

[n2_space]

After washing a couple of my cars yesterday, I had this one to do for today. I quoted him and booked him a month ago, and needless to say, it was in better shape when I saw it the first time :hsugh: I don't think it's been touched since I quoted him. This one I got on "looks alone"... he lives in my neighborhood and stopped to talk to me because my cars "looked so good". He was very happy and impressed when it was done, and took several of my cards to post at work and hand out to clients



Process as follows:



Interior (vacuum, clean, protect)

Wash

Clay

Polish (Optimum Compound with a polishing pad)

Wax with Optimum Car Wax



The interior was in decent shape, just needed a good vacuuming and a couple spots taken out, and dusting/cleaning badly. The body was filthy, the just plain ol dirty, and lots of road tar and bugs. The rims were pretty caked with brake dust. Process took just under 5 hours. End result was good, and the silver flake really popped.





On with the pics! Here is what I started with:

Here you can see how bad it is on the sunny side :ugh:

Can't really see how many bugs there were on the front

Interior wasn't too bad as I mentioned, but a bit dirty:

This was one of the rear tires before :ugh:

After:

After claying just half the hood :ugh:

I would think so. Beautiful job on an ornery color. You earned every penny you charged. Outstanding work. :bow
