Johnny had contacted me over a month ago to get some swirls removed from his black WRX. He had always kept it very clean, but had a very hard time getting the swirls removed. The interior of this car was very clean and exterior was too, my main obstacles were removing the swirls and finishing clean on this extremely soft, black, 80,000 mile paint. For the interior, I went with:
- Folex to clean carpets, vinyl, plastic, and rubber
- Zaino Z16 to protect vinyl, plastic, and rubber
- Stoner's IG on glass
- Zaino Z-AIO on clear plastic
The exterior took about 6 hours. Moderate to heavy swirling coupled with a very soft paint left an easy correction, but tough "perfection". Polishing clean required a few attempts in some areas. Overall, for Subaru paint, I was pleased with the finished product as was Johnny. I equipped him with some tips to try to keep her as marr free as possible. My finals were:
- Poorboy's S+W to clean
- Zaino Z18 Clay + Poorboy's S+W for lube
- Zaino Z-PC via rotary and LC Orange Cutting Pad @ 1500 rpm
- Menzerna PO-85RD and LC Black Finishing Pad @ 1300 rpm (x 2-3 in many areas)
- Zaino Z-PC and #0000 Steel Wool for the Borla
- Zaino Z6 to remove any dust
- CG VRT cut 2:1 in wells
- Zaino Z16 on tires (x 2)
- Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX'd and a spritz of Z8) on paint, glass, wheels
- Zaino Z8 to spice things up
Before
After
Can ya guess that my camera died
?
Cheers.
