Beautiful car! Whenever my daughter gets in my Focus ST (shes 2) she'll pull a Ricky Bobby and start saying "Daddy I wanna go fast!"

To follow up with wrb_subie, I've done a few black WRX's and STi's myself. As he said its hard to keep scratch free cause its so soft, so don't go crazy on it. As he said 105 and 205 should be fine. Also the Advanced Auto parts here sell Griots Garage stuff, so you can see how much a GG 6"...

I've tried so lighter duty stuff and it didn't work. Hell I'll go pick up a bottle of coke and try it on my lunch break lol Sent from my SM-N900T using AG Online

Where do you buy phosphoric acid? And I'm assuming it's 20 parts water to 1 part acid? Sent from my SM-N900T using AG Online

Wasn't planning on going as far as taking them off. I may try megs chrome since I can buy it locally. After that I'll go after some Sonax. I was afraid that megs chrome would be to caustic but I may need to go that route. Sent from my SM-N900T using AG Online

So I'm putting my WRX up for sale soon and I'm getting around to taking care of some minor fixes. One will include a full detail prior to listing. That being said ever since I joined the military and started a family some of my hobbies have had to take a back seat and detailing was one of them...

Everything looks great man! I've got a 2013 LX myself. Despite being a base model I love the car! As far as the emblems go, some people remove them, some tape over them. I personally just go over em. I've only had one instance where they've "eaten" a pad up.

Thanks for the input guys! I think y'all have convinced me to just sell it myself.

It's a sedan.

Thank you all for your responses and your support for me and my fellow shipmates and service members! I went to a dealership nearby to get a quote and heres what happened. This is a copy and paste from what I put on another site about my experience: Thought I'd give a little update. Went...

Thank you all for the quick replies and for the thanks yous! I do love my job and knowing that while I may only be a single cog in the defense of our great country I'm proud to be that cog :). I know that you'll always get a better price selling it to a private party and from what I've seen...

I'M hopefully trading my 05' wrx in at the end of the month for a new focus st. Unfortunately due to having a 21 month old and a busy schedule thanks to the Navy my wrx has been rather neglected. I also want to get the most money out of my trade. It has a few dents thanks to my wife being in...

Looks great! Looking at picking up a Focus ST fairly soon!

Looks great! As much as I hate my 05' WRX I'm looking forward to the weather to clear up, so I can give it some much needed attention.
