    My friend wanted me to clean up his Subaru STI.
    Last time I saw it, it looked ok but apparently a person at the dealership he works at washed it with some type of broom brush. :shakehead:
    I would have used a sealant but my friend wanted to do use some touchup paint later on.

    Exterior
    - Wheels and Tires cleaned with P21S TAW and Sonax FE with various brushes
    - Washed with CG Maxi Suds II
    - Autoscrubbed and clayed then rinsed - Exterior
    - Blow dryed and paint measured
    - Door jambs were cleaned up and waxed
    - CG Glaze only used on the driver's side door pillars
    - P21S Paintwork Cleanser with LC Tangerine Pad - Griots Orbital
    - Collinite 845 Wax with Uber Black Pad - Griots Orbital
    - Rubber, Plastics, and Tires dressed
    - 15% IPA wipedown
    - Wheels spray waxed

    Interior
    - Wipedown windows
    P21S TAW and Sonax FE (as I only had enough in the bottle for one wheel lol)

    Driver's door before with swirls galore

    Taped an 'A' for avengers. Avenging against swirls

    Not bad with just using P21S Paintwork Cleanser after 1 pass

    Thanks Franki! She cleans up real easy. If I had another day, I would have refined her even more.

    Thanks! That was my 1st time using P21S PC and thought I'll give it a try since it was a really hot day and I was getting started late.
    Or else I would have used Menz 203s ;)

    A black hole on the wheels? Do you mean have them painted black?
