2006 Element and Subaru WRX (NO 56K)

[Shftup]

Hey guys, just a quick write up on my latest.



The paint had lots of swirls Additionally some small scratches that were quite deep, and required the skills of a professional.



Ride - Subaru WRX automatic, 120KM



Process –

Washed, 2 bucket method

Clayed (pinnacle ultra fine clay with sonus lube)

Sonus SFX-1 w/ orange LC pad @ 3.5

Sonus SFX-2 w/ white LC pad @ 4

Sonux SFX-3 w? black LC pad @ 4.5

Glazed – Pinnanacle XMT carnuba glaze

Waxed via PS21



Here are some pics, I was able to remove the majority of the swirls, and one again show the depth and clarity of this beautiful color.



Enjoy.

Hey good work man looks great. What do you think of the glaze? I haven`t even tried mine yet haha! Although after using Red Moose for a few months, I tried my Menzerna FT Glaze again and fell in love with it. Now I`m torn.

I havent had a chance to compare the XMT to FTG or RMG. Thats on the list of to do`s....
