Subaru Forester Hood Rescue....

[MudRunner]

So this is what happened when my 120lb Chocolate Lab decided to jump on the Forester's hood yesterday morning, when the car was covered in road grime. I went inside and cried a little. lol. Pic taken after a wash to check out the damage...



This morning I went out and clayed it, using Mother's (yeah, but it was on sale for $11!) clay, and their quick detailer. Masked off some stuff (my first time masking, so bear with me, and snapped this one:


Followed up with Ultimate Compound, and two coats of Meg's NXT Tech Wax. Here's the 'after' shot:


I'm quite pleased... it was done 100% by hand, and it was my first time using Ultimate Compound... or any polish for that matter. I'll take care of the rest of the car when I get more free time, but for now, it's back to work! :crackwhip:

Nice work! Nice save too! Be easy on the dog...


Can you share how you applied the Ultimate Compound? Maybe just briefly explain how you applied it and how big a section you tackled at one time?


Thanks!

Applied the UC using Meg's applicator pads (the yellow, foam ones) using a circular pattern first, followed by a back and forth/up and down pattern. Wiped off with a microfiber towel before it dried. I worked in roughly 10" square sections, and overlapped them.

That was the Dog's way of telling you to detail the car...
