Make It Shine: 2006 STi (test panel & quick cleanup)

[kaval]

Here's a quick winter prep I did a while ago. Just thought I would post this up. I love how deep this black looks!

Wash
- CWG @ Paint Cleanser dilution
- Dried with WW MFs

Rims & Tires
- Kleenol @ 4:1

Decontamination
- Riccardo Blue Clay
- ONR Clay Lube
- Horizontal surfaces only

Seal
- Paintwork sealed with Collinite 476s
- Tires received Opti-Bond
- Rims sealed with Opti-Seal

While doing the work itself, I checked out the paint under the halogens and decided to do a test panel for the client. Knowing Subaru paint is quite soft, I tried M105 on a white pad @ 1600rpm, followed by 106FF on black:
