Here is a 3 week old Impreza STi that was hacked by the dealership before delivery. The owner told me he stated to the salesman that he did NOT want it washed. Instead, he insisted to put his "black paint specialist" to clean it up before the pick-up time. Well, let me tell you that he is more like a black paint assassin.
Rims received Chemical Guys Wheel Gel then agitated with brushes. Tires and wells got Chemical Guys Orange Degreaser. Foamed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Clear and washed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Gloss using 2BM.

The car was then dried, clayed, and taped up ready for paint correction. The paint was VERY SOFT and sticky so I used Meguiars M105/White @ speed 5 then Menzerna Nano/Blue @ speed 5. KEEP IN MIND THIS CAR IS 3 WEEKS OLD!

The car then received an IPA wipedown and foam/rinse to rid of all the oils and polish dust. I then used my D/A to spread on the Chemical Guys JetSeal109 using a Blue pad. While the sealant was curing, I continued to dress the tires and polish up the exhaust tips.
