    This is a detail I did last May. The owner was with the British Airforce and has some interesting stories to tell. I previously showed a detail that I did on his wife's 08 Subaru Imprezza.
    Member SSTG has a WS.6 and asked me to post some pics so I figured I might as well do so as a Show and Shine but I have to apologize for the total lack of "befores and process" pics. Something lacking in many of the pics I've taken in the past of details I've done. In the future that will change but for now you will have to be satisfied with lots of "afters". This car was however quite clean upon arrival except for the inner part of the rims. The interior wasn't bad. The paint had light swirls and some light scratches or abrassions. This car only has just over 23,000 km (about 14,500 miles for our USA friends) and isn't driven in the winter. The owner was taking it to a show shortly after the detail.
    The detail consisted of wash, clay, polish, lsp and interior. The engine bay wasn't done.
