    Smile Dream Detail -Subaru STI World Rally Blue

    Here are the photos from a recent detail on a 2005 World Rally Blue Subaru STI.
    The car puts out 340hp & 340tq to the wheels at 18psi.

    Paint was protected with PolishAngel Viking Shield & Blue Xilion.



    The first thing after the wash was to address the engine bay. Metal was polished with Palladium and the rest of the engine bay was cleaned & dressed with Engine



    When polishing began, I first addressed the orange peel in the trunk and hood scoop with the CarPro Denim Orange Peeling pads and PolishAngel Master Compound.





    The rest of the paint was in fairly good shape with just a few things to address

    Before:


    After:


    Certain areas had what looked to be DA marks

    After:

    After (leveling the paint change the perspective of the reflection)


    A few rubber seems had some wax buildup which was easily removed:









    An interesting scuff on the front lip:

    Before:


    Polished with PolishAngel Master Compound and the Master Compound machine pad


    Voila! This is the finish before any finishing steps


    Top of the grille before:


    After the same combination with the lip. No finishing steps:


    Taillights Before:

    Around the gas tank before:

    Pillar before:


    After:


    Side skirts corrected with RUPES green pads & Master Compound:


    After polishing, no LSP:

    Nice Job on that car. I have always loved these cars and in that color as well. unfortunately I never got my hooks into one................

    It is unusual for someone to use a line of products I have never heard of, and other than seeing you use these in your posts here I never have heard a peep. Your work is top notch, would you mind sharing a little about the company and the line? Is this line sold in the USA?

    Thanks and keep posting.

    Agreed, you`ve got me curious about Polish Angel as well. Love their logo, graphic design, and their packaging...

    Polish Angel is top notch stuff, probably better then swissvax. They have been out for a while. Awesome products, second to none.

    Thank you! The short on polishangel is that the products are hand-made to-order in Germany and shipped from there. It is a very extensive line of products from towels to coatings and high-end paste waxes. All of the products are designed with the greatest ease of use and greatest surface appearance in mind. Yes, they`re available in the US
