Here are the photos from a recent detail on a 2005 World Rally Blue Subaru STI.
The car puts out 340hp & 340tq to the wheels at 18psi.
Paint was protected with POLISHANGEL® Viking Shield & Blue Xilion.
The first thing after the wash was to address the engine bay. Metal was polished with Palladium and the rest of the engine bay was cleaned & dressed with Engine
When polishing began, I first addressed the orange peel in the trunk and hood scoop with the CarPro Denim Orange Peeling pads and POLISHANGEL® Master Compound.
The rest of the paint was in fairly good shape with just a few things to address

After:
Certain areas had what looked to be DA marks
