  • Advance Detail Chile-2007 Subaru WRX #2

    Hi MOL,

    i recieved this car due to a friend recomendation, i have been getting alot of Subarus lately and it fun working in them, the owner bought this car used a couple of weeks before bring it it for a correccion due to swirls from the previous owner, there werent too many deep scratches but it was full of swirls and minor holograms that needed atention, the car was delivered the day before, so i could wake up early and have the car ready for work.
    i took advantage in the darkness to bring out my halogens and do some testing with diferent compounds that would correct the paint with minimal abrasives. i was able to do a 2 step on the vehicle for a full correction, the only thing that i had to work on more were some black silicone on the roof, because the previous owner had a spoiler and used that to hold it in place. on to the pictures:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hola MOL,
    recibi este auto por una recomendacion de un amigo, me han estado saliendo bastantes trabajos en subarus ahora ultimo, pero bueno es entretenido trabajar en ellos, el dueno compro este auto hace poco y lo trajo para correccion de unas rayas que tenia por el dueno anterior, a pesar que fue muy bien cuidado tenia bastante swirls y unos hologramas menore, pero nada profundo, el auto fue dejado aca en la casa para asi poder comenzar temprano el proximo dia

    Me aproveche de la noche para sacar mis focos y hacer alguna pruebas con pulimentos que hagan la correccion con lo menos agresivo, despues de 2 etapas diferentes logramos dar el resultado perfecto, lo unico que fue lento fue sacar una silicona negra que tenia en el techo, al parecer el dueno anterior pego un spoiler con esa silicona, bueno ahi van las fotos.




    After correccion/Antes de correccion:


    Some 50-50/ Algunos 50-50:



    The hood at night before/El capot de noche:


    After/Despues:


    then i went to sleep ZZZZZZZ
    9 Am ready to begin, took some pictures of the begining and started washing
    ----------------------------------
    Despues me fui a dormir ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    9 am listo para comenzar, tomamos fotos y comenzamos a lavar







    after removing the plates and taking the pictures, i moved over to the usual Subaru prep:
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Despues de sacar las patentes y tomar fotos me movi a la preparacion usual de subarus:





    Heres the silicone i was writing about:
    ------------------------
    Aqui esta la silicona que les mencionaba:



    Now we were ready to start on the exterior, the usual products were brought out and the washing began, 2BM, washing mit and my power washer took care of all the dirt and Megs mild clay was used for the contaminants on the paint, at the same time work was being done on the interior, plastics were cleaned and scrubed with APC and then protected with HD@7:1.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ya estabamos listos para el exterior, los productos usuales fueron sacados y comenzamos a lavar, 2BM,NXT, y guante de fibra junto a la Hidro fueron usados para limpar, y Megs Mild Clay para el descontaminado, al mismo tiempo del trabajo exterior, el interior estaba siendo escobillado con APC y protejido con HD a 7:1.










    While the interior was worked on the wheels needed atencion,
    Mientras el interior era atacado, las ruedas estaban siendo sacadas.







    then the wheels were covered and the car was preped for polishing:
    las ruedas fueron cubiertas y el auto preparado para el pulido:


    the exaust was hand treated by my bro:
    el escape fue tratado a mano por mi hermano:





    the front had alot of paint chips that were painted so i gave then a sanding to level the paint:
    El frente tenia varios piquetes de pintura que fueron retocados anteriormente, asi que les di una pasada para hacerlos menos notorios.





    Some before and afters:
    Algunos antes y despues:





    then some hood 50-50:
    Capot 50-50:







    then the whole car was washed again to remove the polishing dusts and oils, after drying it recieved 2 coats of sealent.
    i will show the interior shots first:
    -----------------------
    Despues el auto completo volvio a ser lavado para remover polvo y aceites del pulimento, y despues de estar secado se aplicaron 2 capas de sellado y dejados a curar durante 40 min.
    Ahi van las fotos interior mientras se seca el exterior:











    Exterior Shinee:
    Y el brillo exterior:

























    Thanks again for watching... see ya soon, keep shining!!!
    Gracias por ver, nos vemos pronto...Sigan brillando

          WOW! Not much else to say with that amazing detail. You made that car look better than showroom!

          When you scrub a dashboard with APC, how doe you get the APC off? Is a rinse needed, or a simple wipe down, then a protectant?

                  A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                    Thanks! depends on how dirty the dash is, if its dirty, we aply APC scrub, wipe down with a damp microfiber, then spray some water (via sprayer) and hyper dressing. or sometimes we go from apc, damp wipe, and dressing. the owner was impresed he said that i charge to little!! well he is the only one that said that.
