Make It Shine: 2006 STi (test panel & quick cleanup)

[kaval]

Here's a quick winter prep I did a while ago. Just thought I would post this up. I love how deep this black looks!



Wash

- CWG @ Paint Cleanser dilution

- Dried with WW MFs



Rims & Tires

- Kleenol @ 4:1



Decontamination

- Riccardo Blue Clay

- ONR Clay Lube

- Horizontal surfaces only



Seal

- Paintwork sealed with Collinite 476s

- Tires received Opti-Bond

- Rims sealed with Opti-Seal



While doing the work itself, I checked out the paint under the halogens and decided to do a test panel for the client. Knowing Subaru paint is quite soft, I tried M105 on a white pad @ 1600rpm, followed by 106FF on black:
