I took delivery of a 2015 Subaru STi Ice metallic silver a couple days ago. I live in Florida but bought the car from Colorado and had it shipped on an open car hauler over 2000 miles.
All in all the car with delivered 100% condition besides a tiny little scratch on the wing that the dealership already said they would take care of, and yes, the car was dirty as head when it finally arrived. I had the truck driver wait as I cleaned every panel and inspect. After all, this is my new baby!
Second day of ownership I came home from work and used some detailer spray and was wiping the hood and driver side quarter panel and in the right sun light, just as the detailer spray is drying you can see water etching. I've heard all about water etching and how.it's one of the worst paint defects to have. So now what do I do? I have less then 100 miles on the car and already planning to polish it down? ###!?!
I plan I having the front clip protected with Suntek clearbra this weekend because I've heard all about Subaru and their soft paint and it will prolong the rock chips on the front bumper and hood.
Is is a bad thing to clearbra over water eching? Will the etching be brewing the whole time it's umber nether causing more damage once I remove it in a few years?
Help me howard?
