Hey AG Family! Just got done getting some snow, dirt, salt, etc. off the car finally on this nice winter day we're having. I had to take advantage of the warmer weather since the car looks like crap. I took it down to a power washing station with a bucket to hand wash because who knows how many chemicals are in their "shampoo". Unfortunately, I did not two bucket wash the car being that every stall was full, I tried to move as quick as possible.

On to the products used:

- 5 Gallon Bucket with Grit Guard
- Adam's full size Wash Pad
- Adam's pH neutral Car Wash Shampoo
- Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 Optical Select High Gloss Spray Sealant
- Chinchilla MF for the HV7
- CG Microfiber Miracle Dryer Towel

A little background - I did give the car a mild 'winter prep' about a month ago with a full clay bar, hand polish (Adam's Revive Polish), and some Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze. Since I assumed the KHGSG was still in tact, I figured the HV7 would work wonders. I think the pictures explain themselves. Im the MAN Im the MAN

PS: Don't mind my tires. It's only winter, and as mentioned before, time wasn't on my side at the power wash station so I didn't have time to scrub 'em (same goes for my exhaust tips).

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures! Click on the top of them to enlarge and absorb the beauty. Unfortunately they're only iPhone 4 pics, but I feel they do the job. :)

Thanks for reading!

Thanks, cartman! Yes they're plasti-dipped for winter protection/"let's see what black looks like" wheels. :)
 
:laughing: @ the plate.

I love Subarus, but man... Subie parts are expensive!
 
Great looking Subaru you've got there. They are such a blast to drive with the incredible grip from the symmetrical awd.
 
@Brutal Noodle - Thanks, I love the plate personally. Quick background story - my brother has a '12 WRX, and I have the Legacy GT. My plate is LOL WRX, his is LOL LGT. Ya know, it's a brother thing...lol

...and yes, the parts are super expensive.

@Johny B - thank you!!

@esv5454 - thank you also! The car is amazing to drive and this winter has been a treat with my Conti DWS's. They make my good grip even better in the snow. :)
 
I love legacy GTs! Were you at the Ocean City All Wheel Drive Meet in Salisbuy MD this past summer? I think I remember seeing your license plate.
