Partial Correction on a Black STi

[Josh@BR]

So one of my clients who owns a black 2006 Subaru Sti is planning on getting a full paint correction done by me here in spring but he recently aquired a scratch/scuff that he didnt want to wait to have removed. The imperfection on the car was a bit large but not too deep. As some of us know Subaru's are known for having "sticky" or "soft" paint and it usually is harder to work with. I also taped off the area being corrected to show the client the huge difference between corrected/not corrected. This was my first time getting to use the SIP on a black car so I was very excited to see the results. The SIP left a slight haze so a finishing polish was required which is expected on dark colors. Heres a couple pics I took with my crappy camera but you get the idea.

Materials used:
-Porter Cable 7424
-Meguiars QD
-Menzerna SIP w/Orange LC Pad
-Menzerna PO85RD w/Blue LC Pad
-P21S Concours Carnauba Paste Wax(for a lil extra pop)
-Cobra MF

Nice fix, how did he manage to get that scuff? Why are Subarus so awesome? Haha.

My client says a cop did it at a party he was at. He saw "a fat cop" walk passed it and his belt with the holsters on it rubbed right up against it.

Anyone who owns a Subaru knows why they are so awesome lol

Thanks guys I appreciate the compliments I can't wait to do a full write up of this car when I do the full detail and paint correction in spring. It should make for some dramatic before/after pics.
