Exterior
Before shots





Before wheels

We removed the salt and grime from the tires and wheel wells with Adam's APC and the Uber Wheel Well Brush




Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner workings its magic



Tires, wheel wells, wheels all rinsed down




Pre washed with Iron X to remove all the iron deposits




Rinsing the Iron X off


Washed the STI with einszett W99




Final rinse

Next we clayed the car. Not much after the Iron X and W99

Tires and Wheel Wells dressed


Door jambs cleaned up

The imperfections were much like this all over the car.

Paint Measurement (higher than usually numbers)
