My most painful detail

First of all I'd like to thank the people who helped me in this detail, fellow detailer kaisernaut on detailing bliss (Who helped me detail this car), Mike from Auto Aesthetica and Richard from Black Wow, who gave me good pointers.

The vehicle is a 2010 Obsidian Black Subaru WRX hatch, we started at 9am and wrapped it up by 11:30pm, so no sun shots from me. However, kaisernaut is taking sun shots of it today since the client lives close to him.

I don't remember everything that was used, so once kaisernaut list the items, I'll post them here. Here are my before/after pictures enjoy!

Before:





























Me n Kaisernaut has no idea what this is, client said it just popped up like that one day:



After (Only 3 shots, awaiting sun shots from kaisernaut later today)

Looks good. I remember reading the thread on DB about how the paint was being such a pita and how it marred when being wiped with a MF.

Thanks guys! Well Subaru paint is notorious for being soft, I think the Obsidian Black is the worst of them all.
According to the owner, who is a fellow aziner, NO ONE has ever washed the car except him, goes to show you how important proper washing technique is huh.

BTW I should have sun shots by tonight (According to my partner in crime, lol)
