A Swirled Black Subaru Detail
I had no shade today and it was a very very hot and sunny day. The paint got so hot that even OP couldn't be wiped off. A first. It was wierd!!!

It took a little extra time to figure out a process - thank god for CG's EZ Creme.

I worked on the exterior for 6 hours.

PS: I was told that this car has about 350HP or so. The owner may chime in.

qew
clay
OHC orange pad 1500rpm on hood

OP FK1 yellow pad pc 6/rotary here and there 1500rpm
Poli Seal green optimum pad pc 6 (to remove OP)
CG Ez Creme green ccs pad pc 6
Z6 wipe
CG Extreme coat Sealant to protect
Z6 wipe
Grape dressing on tires

After polishing

Re: A Swirled Black Subaru Detail
Awesome dude. are there holograms in that rear panel after pic in the sun.

OHC seems pretty powerful for such soft paint with that level of marring.
I reckon that 106FF and a polish pad could fix that
