2005 Subaru Impreza WRX

[HAN]

My first show and shine! :awesome: Here are some before's and after's of the engine compartment detail I did tonight. Tomorrow, she's getting the whole enchilada, my gameplan:

Wheels and tires cleaned with DP Gel wheel cleaner
Wash with a strong mix of NXT wash
Clay with Sonus green
Polish with LC orange pad and Opt polish
I still haven't decided on an LSP yet.

Anyways, here are the photos I took today....

So far so good. Can't wait to see the rest of it. That color shines up real nice (my avatar )!

Good job Pete. Enjoyed your 1st Show & Shine. I'll be looking for your next. Very good.

My son has a 03 that we did.
The WRC blue when done will glow

The paint is a bit soft for go slow when starting.

Is the K & N filter an aftermarket item? I love those cars!

 

[HAN]

its actually an SPT intake system (Subaru Performance Tuning), and since its made by Subaru, its warranty friendly, too! It doesn't come on the car stock, though. My CarDomain page in my sig has all my mods so far, if anyone is interested...

Very nice. :applause:



What LSP's do you have?

 

[HAN]

I have: megs 16, 21, 26, Natty's Blue, Duragloss 105, Poorboys EX and EX-P, Zymol Japon (and HD Cleanse), P21S/S100, Collinite IW845 and 476, Klasse AIO and SG...I have Pinnacle SS on order, and I am considering making a trip to a local place to pick up some Zymol Titanium first thing in the morning. Too many choices!

Titanium, NB, or #21 (two layers would look nice.)

If you have the time,

#21 x2
NB x 1
Zymol x1

All can be done in the same day, no curing time. Apply and wipe. The result would be....WOW!

#21 is some good stuff, and no curing time makes it THAT much better..

 

[HAN]

you wouldn't use the HD Cleanse then?

 

[nick19]

you wouldn't use the HD Cleanse then?

Oh yeah.. can't forget that..


HD Cleanse
#21 x2
NB x1
Titanium x1


Man, that blue would have a serious WOW factor afterwards.

 

[sparkie]

Awesome job on the engine! Can't wait to see the car! I want pics and lots of them.

 

[Nica]

HAN, I've been waiting for your vehicle to get detailed. Just looking at your avatar says it all my friend. The engine looks wicked, looking forward to my favorite color shine....make that baby POP!!!

oh can I make a request...take lots of pictures...please. Like I said I've been looking forward to your vehicle...Zymol....mmmm...that's going to look good!

 

[klumzypinoy]

That engine bay is cleeeeeeean. Can't wait for full body shots Lol

 

[supercharged]

I would want to see a couple coats of Natty's Blue on it.

 

[Strokin04]

Can't wait to see the afters, oh yeah I don't think you have enough LSP's (lol). Mike...

 

[fastgsx]

Another suby, nice!

 

[HAN]

here are some pics from today, as promised....

Some befores that I took...

And some during the detail...I was going to stop claying after this is all I got off of my hood and front end:

But I kept going, good thing I did!

After Claying, I gave her a quick foaming before moving on...

Then I taped up the trim...
