Default A mate asked me to detail his Subaru Impeza Turbo..... Good turnaround i think!!!!!!!

Got asked by a mate if i could do anything with a scratch he got along the whole of the passenger side of his Subaru....had a look and said i could sort it but would be better off having the whole car done as where i remove it will stick out like a sore thumb.

So i took delivery of it and proceeded to get a great turnaround........ The cars paintwork was VERY bad so i gave it a good Single Stage correction

Usual washing methods to cleanse the car ready for the machine polishing stage
Used Sonax Perfect Finish which i rate alot and finnally seal in with Collinite 845

Some great 50/50 shots.......

It was a dull day when i took delivery and a sunny day when finished which was very pleasing when he picked it up.....

Enjoy

I've only ever used G101 Ginge, swear by it for so many things when diluted right. As for the moss ect, again G101 and agitated with a brush, then the Karcher at full pelt.....
