This 2008 Obsidian Black Pearl Subaru STI Hatchback came in for a multiple day reconditioning detail that included: Rust Bloom Removal, Major Paint Correction, Opti-Coat Application, Opti-Glass Application and Interior Rejuvenation Detail. I have heard how incredibly soft and sticky the OBP Subaru paint is and I thought I had a good idea of what I was going up against. I was mistaken! The stickiness of the paint made wiping away the polish and performing the isopropyl alcohol wipe downs quite challenging. I ended up having to perform a three step paint correction finishing with Menzerna PO85RD on a grey Lake Country buffing pad to achieve the desired level of correction.

The vehicle owner chose to have Opti-Coat applied to the Obsidian Black Pearl paint to help minimize wash induced marring and any hard water spots in the future. The STI has a Cobb SF Intake, Accessport Stage One Tune and a P&L Street Series Cat Back Exhaust.

Jet Black is always a pain to work with, but when freshly polished. IMO it looks so beautiful.

Great Video and Great Work!

I have to ask where do you find this music?

Thank you. Typically I find new music on YouTube by clicking the suggested links. However this song was sent to me by a family member.

Sonax PF should be sold along side all black Subaru.

I have been reading great things about Sonax polishes and Sonax Polymer Net Shield lately.
 
Outstanding work as usually and I know I keep saying the same thing, but great videos as always.

Thank you. I was looking forward to filming this video for over a month. I am glad that you liked the final product.
 
Man your videos are amazing. So refreshing to watch meaning not too long or not too short, not boring either like a lot of videos out there followed by amazing work. Perfect combo in my opinion. Keep up the great work.
