Default Litchfield Type 25

My customer bought this car a few weeks ago and tried to book it in straight away for "Paint Enhancement" because of my work load I couldn't fit it in till this week, i had the car for a couple of days, to improve matters, So lets begin
The Subaru Impreza Litchfield Type 25
How it arrived.





The rear shock adjuster.






Build Number




Spotting a few problems before we begin.



On with the snow foam








It was then rinsed clean prior to washing.



It was then washed with PH neutral shampoo using a lambswool wash mit and buckets with scratch shield grit guards, Before claying, washing again and then masking up.
Paint depths were taken on every panel to make sure there were no hidden horrors, Everything was fine.
This is an idea of the level of correction that was achieved




This is before waxing, cleaning the glass and dressing.



The following day gave me a Brief dry spell to get it outside and inspect still before waxing though.








Hard work but loved it !

Nice job, if you dont mind me asking what did it cost for that correction detail? (pm me if you perfer

Stunning car, was looking at a type 25 (already got a type 20) but decided against it now, going with something else from mr litchfield (keeping the type 20 as well though)

Paint Correction = Correcting any defects in/on the paint

Usually a machine polish with a compound polish which vary from fine to quite abrasive etc.. depending on how much work is required to get the paint restored, Removing light scratches,scuffs,swirl marks etc.. Then sealed and waxed
