ok, so its been a while since i posted anything here. after some misfortunate events my 05 sti was lost in an accident. 2 weeks ago i picked up my new 08 STi. Last sunday i detailed in but just now getting around to posting. here is a list of the process.



Wash with Excel Sheepskin mitt & Opt car wash

menzerna PO106FF via PC w/CCS white

menzerna FPII via PC w/ccs blue

Sealant - Werkstatt AJ Trigger x3

Wax - Pinnicle souveran x2



being still failry new paint i didnt want to cut into the clear to heavy, this process removed aprox. 80% of swirls (Damn dealership detailing...lol)and light scratches.



i dont have any before shots......sorry.

Awesome, this car is definitely growing on me. Any plans to mod it and how would you compare it to the MY05 STi?

It`s quite a departure from the previous model.

I`m still on the fence with the new body style.

Congrats on the new car and nice job on the detailing.

Looks good. Black metallic, when clean, is hard to beat.



How`s the new STI compare to the 05? same performance and better interior?
