Right before Halloween a few guys I know from my local Subaru club decided to decorate their cars for the holiday. This particular one had plasti-dip handprints all over the paint.
Right before the actual holiday he got bored with it and decided to take it off, this didn't turn out well; so after peeling off the dip in comes the detailing friend who owns a side business
This didn't work out to well, there was still a significant amount of residue left on the vehicle and he posted on a facebook detailing forum for help; the reply was Goo Gone
(Yes he paid for that 'detail')
So in comes dad, who says he will pay for his friend's car wash/detail shop to fix the issues.
Truth be told they did a decent job with the car, they removed most of the plasti-dip residue then used these 2 products.
Apparently he wasn't happy with the result (you use a swirl remover product but the car still has swirls?!?) and another Subaru club member had him reach out to me, so he came over the next day and I took some photos then began.
Since the shop did a ton of work on the vehicle the day before I pointed out the things that were not taken care of as well as touch up paint (he is the 2nd owner of the vehicle). I then handwashed the car with Chemical Guys Blacklight soap and used a clay matt to decontaminate the vehicle since it sat outside all night.
After drying the car and feeling comfortable enough for the D/A I put it in the garage and went to work with old faithful "HD SPEED"
A few passes on the car and the result had him very excited and happy he made the drive.
Had fun working on the car, I only spent an hour, and I think the most important thing was showing him how to maintain his paint with a few products he can get locally.
