  • 2008 Subaru Impreza

    2 years worth of paint abuse, I'm assuming running through automatic carwashes and improper hand washes, but it cleaned up well!

    Process:
    -washed down with ONR
    -Meguiar's Mild clay and Last Touch as lubricant
    -Menzerna SIP on Flex DA for paint correction
    -Waxed with Meguiar's #26

    Before (Hood):


    50/50 (Hood):

    Thanks for looking,

    Looks amazing. Very nice job.

    I recently purchased a 2010 Impreza and absolutely love it. Great car and I'm getting 35 mpg. Far better than the 14 mpg my Range Rover returns.

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

        Great job! Looks great! I thought you had to follow up SIP with a milder polish like 106FF or 85RD esp on black but you've proven this otherwise!

              it varies paint by paint, but on this particular model we used a higher speed at first, and then backed off a little bit. This way we were able to achieve paint correction with the higher speed, and then bring back the lost gloss with the slower speed, all using one product and without the need of a large amount of passes...

              on a side note, there were instances when I was able to use the SIP on a rotary and achieve the same results and went straight to a LSP.

                  Nice job! just recently I traded off a "boutique" wax and I find #26 under-rated and every bit as good or if not better than those that cost alot more.
