Nice looking car, and as long as you have a clean surface to work on, you should be fine applying a Wax after your QD.
Nothing looks better to me that a freshly waxed black car.

hey thanks bro! i sure appreciate the compliment! :] i'm real new to this detailing scene but i see how addicting it can get..... i'm now trying to figure out how i can get rid of the fine line swirl marks you can see on it in direct sun light.... i guess i'll need a porter cable to do that.... when i have 200 bux to spare i'll buy one for sure.Comment

You can pick up the Porter Cable 7336SP for $109 at Lowes. Then order the DA Velcro Buffing System from Megs......Originally posted by tripmachine

What cleaners have you used so far for swirls?
If it is real fine, and the paint is a little soft, maybe just ColorX or ScratchX will suffice for now. Hopefully ColorX since it is easier to apply.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

all i've used so far for cleaning is zymbol cleaner wax and mothers clay bar.... i'll have to give those items a shot.... i for sure want a porter cable since that will cut down on the time spent on my car or other cars.... so that should also help with the swirls i'm guessing..... i'm going to the detailing class provided by Mike at Meguiars on saturday so i'll learn some tips and tricks there and also learn what products i can use. :] thanks a lot!Comment

It looks like on Lowes website they are charging 139 for the Porter cable... are you sure i can get it in the store for 109 ??? i was thinking since the meguiars one is 149 + about 50 bux for the supplies and attachments that's where i'd be spending 200.... if lowes did infact have it for 109 i'd think of doing that.... any info on that??Comment

Well, I dont know what lowes charges, but remember it wont have the lifetime warranty.
You might also browse autodetailingsolutions.com , and see what their prices are. They have some nice packages, so you know what stuff might cost before going in Saturday.
Package#2 is definately popular.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment
