    2005 Subaru Forester paint correction

    I just got done with a 2005 Subaru Forester 123000 miles that I did a 2 stage paint correction, seal, and wax. This was an interesting car because it had multiple different repainted panels all done by different people. I had to do sooo many different test spots. For the wash (in order) 1.Iron...

    Ya this is for sure a job for wet sanding. I would not attempt it without a PTG though. If you go through the clear coat it could very easily be money out of your pocket. This is one of those jobs where since you have never wet-sanded the risk is far far far greater than the reward in my...

    For the opti-seal all you do is spray it on (very little) and use a foam applicator to spread it around. You dont even have to buff it off if you do it properly but if you use too much you will have to whip it down with a MF. I would apply a coat every 4 months and the wax. It never hurts to add...

    Yes I would replace the wolfgang Uber Wheel cleaner with Iron X Iron Remover, CQuartz IronX, Paint Cleaner, paint decontamination So when trying to protect a car you want multiple different layers. Building up layers prevents things from getting to the paint and potentially causing damage. Like...

    Wheel cleaner Iron X is a must. Also get rid of the megs ultimate wax; not high quality stuff in my opinion. If I were you I would put on a paint sealant first my preferred one for noobs is opti-seal and then a layer of paste wax. Depending on how much you want to spend on a jar of wax I can...

    this is true. The oils can hide a lot more than you would think. I would do a 15-20% IPA wipe down.

    Worst wheels I've encountered

    IronX makes a paste that would be perfect for this. You can let it sit there and break down the brake dust.

    Hate to tell you my friend but m205 does not finish down well on soft paints. Even if you have perfect technique and pad choice it is just not as good on soft paints

    Yes that will take care of it. It is my go to finishing polish. I like it more than the FF3000 I have sitting there. Evan knows what hes talking about also.

    If I were you I would use a white lake country pad with Menzerna SF4500. It works great on soft paint.
