    Yellow spots on brand new 2019 Sti.

    I took delivery of my 2019 CWP Sti 3 weeks ago and was traveling after. Just had a chance to wash yesterday and noticed that there were 2-3 Yellow marks about an inch long on the paint. I tried to use a light polish to remove, but they would not budge. Anyone have any idea of what these are and...

    Sticky/Tacky Steering Wheel, Arm Rest and Door Cards

    Looking for some detailing advice! I have a relatively high mileage Subaru and have noticed that the steering wheel, door cards and arm rest all feel sticky/tacky. The door cards on the faux leather parts actually look like they have adhesive that can be removed. I know that this is most...

    Best synthetic clay option?

    Thanks for the response. The paint isn't too heavily contaminated, but it is definitely too contaminated for a fine clay if that makes sense. I think a medium clay would tackle all of the contaminants.

    Best synthetic clay option?

    I would like some opinions on the different options out there. I am leaning towards the CarPro Poly Shave Decon Towel or the Griots Surface Prep Pad. I will be working on a 2007 satin white pearl Subaru Wrx Sti. The car is heavily contaminated even after Iron X treatment. Traditional Clay is...

    What are these little red stains on my paint?? Not rail dust!

    I washed my car yesterday (2007 satin white pearl Sti) and noticed red dots and stains all over my car. They are small and I was able to wash some,but not all of them off. Its not rail dust as I have that too and color wise it looks very different. My guess it is stains from the leaves falling...

    Is this oxidation and if so can anything be done for it?

    It has not. I have also used Meguiars Compound. It looks like a dull area, hard tell if it is oxidation or not.

    Alternative to clay bar that wont leave paint marring.

    Should have specified, it is a Subaru. I guess if I apply lube generously my chances of marring go down significantly.

    Alternative to clay bar that wont leave paint marring.

    As the title states I am looking for a product that will replace clay barring and also not marr the paint. I have seen various pads and gloves, but am worried about giving them a try because of the soft paint on my 07 Sti (Satin White Pearl). The paint is white so the marring will be hard to...

    Is this oxidation and if so can anything be done for it?

    Didn't think of that, but will take a pic for contrast. Unfortunately it is hard to get a good pic of the paint because of the color.

    Is this oxidation and if so can anything be done for it?

    I am using the least aggressive lake country pads and mostly wolfgang products. I do occasionally use swirl x as well.

    Is this oxidation and if so can anything be done for it?

    Hi, I am relatively new to this forum and the world of detailing. I have an 07 SWP Sti that I noticed has a lot of cloudiness on the hood scoop as well as the top of the driver door in a small area. Assuming it is oxidation I was wondering if there is anything I can do to remove it or at least...

    Issue removing all of the rail rust from car.

    Thanks for the advice. I was hoping to avoid polishing and simply seal the car after claying. I will give the Iron X paste a shot. Im assuming the Iron X spray is running down the door and not sticking on the spot it needs to remove. Hopefully the past solves this issue. If not I'll try a more...

    Issue removing all of the rail rust from car.

    They are orange rust colored specs. The iron X turns them purple but does not completly remove them. Based on this I assumed it was rail dust.

    Issue removing all of the rail rust from car.

    Rail dust is what I was referring to! It was a late night, not sure why I put rail rust. So I tried a very mild clay (pinnacle) after the Iron X and it did not really help. I want to try the least abrasive routes first in terms of removing the "rust" spots. I have used Meguiars Compound when I...

    Issue removing all of the rail rust from car.

    I have an 07 Satin White Pearl Sti and am having difficulty removing all of the rail rust from the car. After washing the car I used Iron X (spray) spread it around with the applicator and waited 5 minutes before rinsing. This took some of the rust of but not all of it. I repeated this step 2...
