    The Owner of this STI wanted it cleaned up as it was sitting outside for a while during the engine build. It was extremely dirty with embedded tree sap and dirt. Tons of Swirls and RIDS. Only a 1-step polish was performed.

    That looks great. I'm glad to see that white Subaru paint reacts well with PF. The car is just glowing now.

    Nice cleanup! I'm glad that it doesn't have some cheap rotas in it. I still cannot understand why guys go from a forged wheel setup to some cheap cast wheel :shakehead:

    Thanks. I would love some Volk rims but as you can see my WRB STI in the background on some of the pics i have RPF1's. Maybe Someday. This White 05 STI also had a GT35 Rotated Turbo Kit on it so it was tricked out to the max.
