This is my buddy's STi. I don't post much on here but this was one of my most rewarding details, so I figured why not. Anyways, I told him to stop going to delta sonic but he never assured me he would stop until I detailed his car. With the results I achieved, it's safe to say he won't be going back. My friend also decided to debadge and got a little carried away getting the adhesive off of his trunk. In his defense, the adhesive remover he was using hid all the scratches he was making during the process. I corrected those as well. Deep scratches remain, but the finish is restored.

Thanks guys. The car in my avatar is my 2007 WRX which has since been sold. I now drive a 2012 satin white pearl WRX hatch (seen in some reflections) and a 2005 Lotus Elise! No STi, but I'm more than content with what I drive.
OBP is by far one of my all time favorite colors for a car! Yeah, it is hard to deal with, but it is just so beautiful when perfected!
