  • 05 WRX Detailed, 07 Mazdaspeed3 Washed

    Got the call again to do the yearly detailing of this 05 WRX. I did his car last year in June and I've done it 3-4 times.

    The car wasn't in that bad of shape considering it's parked outside all the time.

    Process:
    Wash with ONR
    Clay with Meguiar's claybar & ONR for lube
    Wiped down with ONR lube
    A few spots were buffed out with the DACP/Red Meguiar's Cutting pad
    Menzerna Final Polish II with a white pad
    Sealed witn Meguiar's Ultimate Wax
    Glass cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass
    Glass sealed with Meguiar's NXT
    Wheels cleaned with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (5:1)
    Wiped down with ONR Lube
    Tires cleaned with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (5:1)
    Tires Dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing (3:1)
    Engine bay cleaned with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (5:1)
    Exhaust cleaned with #0000 Steele Wool and Generic Glass Cleaner
    Exhaust polished with Mothers Metal Polish

    Pics:

    ONR Wash (right half cleaned, left half not)


    There was 1 new scuff in the paint in the rear bumper

    After




    It had started to rain when I was done, so we didn't pull the car out to snap pics outside, so here are some in the garage done pics:







    When I got there, I noticed that his brother's Mazdaspeed3 was filthy and in need of a good cleaning, so I offered my services to them. After the WRX was ONR Washed, I went to wash the Mazdaspeed3. Since it was filthy, ONR would not cut it.

    Wash was with Gilmour 75QGFMR foaming gun with Rain-X Foaming Wash
    Hi-Temp Wheel Cleaner used on the wheels/tires
    Tires Dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing (3:1)
    Exhaust cleaned with #0000 Steele Wool and Generic Glass Cleaner (x3)


    Before (filthy!)







    After







    Thanks for looking!

      Two nice detailing projects.

      Well done, David.

      Did you use paste or liquid version of Ultimate Wax?

          Question about cleaning that exhaust up. Would any fine wool work and was there a specific stroke you would use?
