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 X for wheels along with a variety of wheel brushes
2.Two buckets- one filled with megs gold class to rinse the other with Chemical guys gloss works
3.clayed using megs clay bar and used detailers waterless wash as a lubricant.
4.Drying was done with waffle towels
5. Wheels dressed with BLACKFIRE Total Eclipse Tire Gel
6. Exhaust tip polished with megs metal polish.
7. Faded Trim dressed with Black Again
8. Glass cleaned with a razor blade and stoners glass cleaner.
Now onto the paint correction:buffing:
Flex XC3401 VRG with a variety of different foam pads (all lake country) and a megs microfiber cutting for the roof.
Polishes used for the first stage (FG400, SI1500, IP2000), and finished off with FF3000
Also restored the faded headlights.
Protection used
Opti-seal, the p21s 100% carnauba wax, and then Migliore Endurance Quick Detailer.
I am pretty proud of how this car came out. It was beat up bad. I could have wetsanded a few scratches out but since the car is daily driven I did not want to take off anymore clear.
Also how do you embed photos? They always come up as attachments
