I finally got around to detailing my sister's 2006 WRX. The paint was in pretty rough shape - being almost 2 years old, constantly exposed to the elements, rarely washed, and never polished or waxed before.

I used the following process:

Meguiar's Clay Bar
Menzerna Intensive Polish with Porter Cable - orange pad
Menzerna Final Polish II with Porter Cable - white pad
Zaino Z-5 with Porter Cable - black pad
Zaino Z-6 Gloss Enhancer
Zaino Z-2 with Porter Cable - blue pad
Zaino Z-6 Gloss Enhancer

I owe a big thank you to Greg at Detailed Image for the tips and supplies!

On to the pics...and the last one is her new AVIC-D3 that replaced her D2

 

looks nice. black is soo hard to keep clean, thats why i got a silverstone z; it hides dirt much better! i love my d3 too!

 

Nice job on the detailing. I think I'm going to order some Zaino too.

 

Thanks guys. Yeah my silverstone is so much easier to maintain than my old black 300zx

 

The car looks great!!! I'm thrilled to see the products and tips I suggested worked out well for you. The paint looks deep and glossy. Black always looks excellent when it's cared for. Thank you for sharing the pics! Let me know if I can help you any further.

I love the fact that Detailed Image's website has all the appropriate accessories to go with the product, although I know which pad goes with a particular polish, many do not! Great website Greg and thanks for your continued support here on the forums. Its nice to have professional advice when needed.

 

Looks good Keith.

 

Yeah, Detailed Image is a great resource for us car guys

Kevin

 

Bluebatmobile.net - bluebatmobile@san.rr.com for the fronts. He sells the rears also, but not as thick/ dark as my sister...hers were ordered from lamin-x.com
