Sharif, owner of Forged Performance, had been wanting to get the STI fully done up since they got the first stage of the build on their new STI done. Finally got a chance to get up there and knock out his car. Was up there Wednesday and did some of the shop cars and employee's cars, so while I was there go the STI wash and cleaned up for today.

Got their this morning and started on the STI, car had the Dealer Installed Swirl package from when they first got it, plus some minor swirling from when they did Quick Detailer wipe downs at events with it. Luckly still nothing to major that couldnt be corrected. One thing I noticed is that the new Subaru paint is great to work with. Corrected very nicely and effortesly.

TBM w/ CG CW''n'G & Megs Hyper Wash

Inside after pictures, lighting was to perfect made the car look extremely glossy. Evne though two gloss steps were done and a thick coat of WGDGPS was applied for just over an hour. Wish it was sunny today though, would have made for some killer shots.

That STI looks dripping wet! Loved the photos! Great Job!

:xyxthumbs:
 
Great work. Really brought out the depth of the color and deep gloss of the clear. Really makes me miss my 05 WR Blue STi. Miss having paint that really shows you have put work into it. 01 pewter metallic S10 doesn't really turn any heads regardless of what I do to the paint.lol
 
The clarity of the paint on that STI is incredible. Lookin good. That GTR is sweet, would love to own one of those.
 
Thanks for the comment. I am just amazed how glossy it turned out under interior lighting.
