Subaru Wagon WRX

I corrected this Subaru for a friend yesterday. Last year I cleaned it up for him before I had my G110 and array of products. I started at 9 with an ONR wash, and then brought it in and taped it up. Sorry for no before pics, wife had the camera, and BB Pearl would have done it no justice.


Correction was done with Megs 105 and white CCS & LC pads. I felt it finished down nicely, and with the amount of rock chips and other RIDS and deep gouges, I didn't feel the need to spend the time and jewel it down with what little ability I have with the G110 and 85rd. It has an LSP of NXT 2.0 because that is what he wanted and for what he paid me I was not going to waste my new RBOE on it or my sample of SNv2...lol, I'm mean.


OK so onto the random pics, out of the 38 I took, I like these the best.











































thanks for looking!!

The PO85RD would have cleaned up the hazing but it still finished nicely. It is easy to forget that the needs of the customer is what is important.

Don't worry about it. You have brought this Subaru back to looking better than 99% of the cars out on the road. I just noticed that some of the sun shots show a bright sun with left and right arms. Sort of like a galaxy. This is most likely due to some compounding haze. M105 can finish down to near LSP ready but it is difficult to do. Most people finish with a final polish to clear up the haze left by the M105.

This is a pic of my car from last year. The sun reflection should be round and focused. Instead it is diffuse and elongated due to some haze I did not see while in the garage.

That has to be one of the best sun shots I have ever seen! It wasn't the P&S camera I was using that does that...now you got me thinking...thanks!! lol
