Hi all IV got a 2005 sti in blue and could use some help
im trying to give my car a proper detail get rid of all the sponge marks and swirls, would like to know what is your preferred products and steps taken to clean you pride and joy thanks.

 

what tools do you have, is it by hand ?

 

yes will be doing it by hand with the aid of a pressure washer thanks

 

You can use scratch x (think that's the name of it) to get rid of light swirls and some deap marks, i use an applicator pad that is harder one side and softer the other side like using a polishing pad and finishing pad on a rotory polisher, then i would give a once over with Isopropyl alcohol to get rid of polishing residues i then used Autoglym super resin polish which is mainly a filler to hide remaining swirls.

Then i use a glaze, then a sealent and finally a couple of coats of wax over the top, a wax like dodo juice is good for a wet look but has less durability than something like collinite 476 which on my corsa has one coat 3 months ago and still beading well.

Routine above was used on mine and had some decent recents.

 

Thanks for you help thinking of trying the dodo juice my self sound like it is a good product. What other products and steps do others take then im looking for a lovely wet looking shine my car deserves it

 

dodo juice lime prime is pretty good at getting swirls out of subaru paint(soft),if using by hand get some german applicator pads,myself personally you'd be better off investing in an orbital polisher with some pads,take a look on polishing bliss's website they have some good recommendations for certain paints

 

Thanks for your help will be getting myself a full dodo juice selection of goodies
