Detailer's Domain: 2009 STI Exterior Detail
Subject: Brand new 2009 Subaru STI in WRB with 1500 miles. The car is a daily driver that will be living outside and making frequent ski trips up north.
The car had been sitting on the dealer lot for just about 10 months.
The customer brought the car in with the usual, some water spots, light swirls and scratches.
We prepped the car by using the ABC Wash System. Then proceeded to clay and polish the car out with Menznera PO106FA. Finally we applied a nice coat of Collinite.
