Default Sonic Blue Sti 5 Type R After some Menzerna Treatment

No big write up I'm afraid, suffice to say the method was:

Washed with Meg's Gold Class Shampoo, using a Eurow Wash mitt, and 2 bucket method)
Clayed with meg's clay and Quik Detailer as lube
Menz IP applied with PC and Yellow SFX pad
Menz FP2 applied with PC and white SFX Pad
2 layers of Poorboys EX-P applied with PC and Blue SFX Pad
2 Layers of P21s Carnauba spit shined (with Meg's Quik detailer)

Has removed most of the flaws in the paint, still a bit more to do (very light swirls in some places that were hard to reach), but tbh, I can live with this until a late summer full detail (all process were done over a week, spending 2 hours after work on the car)!

To say I am happy is an understatement - especially as this was my first try of using the PC

I havent done the arches etc, as I will do these when I get the wheels refurbed!









Will try to get some piccies in better locations! Sorry about the blown highlights, was too busy being in awe at the paintwork to worry about camera settings

Looks great, could do with more pics though - bring 'em on! Great work, especially seeing as it was your first go - the Menzerna polishes take a while to master, so give yourself a massive pat on the back. Great work!

Cheers. Will get more pics - hopefully weather will be OK this weekend! Has been under a cover since I did the work, as we have had some rather dubious weather around As you can see, space is at a premium in my "drive" so, couldnt get any decent angles for piccies!
