muddy

The owner of this Subaru Impreza Spec D thought it was in need a bit of Muddy TLC.
As it was a relative new car it was decided to give it paint portection in readiness for the winter.
It was a daily driver and quite often visited building sites hence was a little dirty.

Here's some before pics:







The car was first treated to a pre wash with with Einszett Anti insect and pre cleaner and left to soak for 3 mins and then rinsed off.
The wheels were then sprayed with Megs wheel brightener and the inside rim agitated with an EZ-detail brush and an Astle spoke brush and then washed with a microfibre mitt.

The wheels were then rinsed.
The whole car was then treated to a Pre foam wash to remove the loose dirt and grit that had accumlated.
This was left to soak for 3 mins and then rinsed off.
The arches cleaned...and half a building site removed.
The body and wheels (Again) were then washed using a lambswool mitt and the 2 bucket method.
The whole vehicle was then rinsed and dried with a Poorboys Waffle weave towel.
Any large bits of tar were then removed with tar remover and the paint surface was then subjected to some Sonus ultrafine clay treatment as I felt quite a bit of contaminents on the paint surface.
Last touch Quick detailer was used as Lube.
With the PC and a polishing pad using Blackfire gloss enhancing polish, proceeded to polish the car. This removed any clay marring and cleaned up the paintwork by removing any fine swirls. Plus alos leving the paint finish glossy.
Once finished, a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond all paint protection sealant was applied.
The followed with a coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond Ivory Carnuaba Wax.

Autoglym glass polish was used on the windows.
Autoglym Instant Tyre dress on the tyres
Meguiars Hyper dressing on the arch liners.
Wheels were protected with Chemical Guys Wheel Sealant.
Interior was degreased with an APC, and dressed with Jeff Werkstatts Satin prot.
Leather seats were cleaned and conditioned with Gliptone.

Just finished in time before the heavens opened up.
The end results:












Total time for Detail: 6 hours

Looks spot on - I saw on the MLR you did a white evo 7 with Dodo Juice Light Fantastic wax and was wondering how you found it and would you recommend it.Was thinking of getting some Lime and the Dodo wax for my white STI - it seems to get great reviews on detailingworld.
