Default 2011 Subaru STI Minor Paint correction

Hi guys

I want to start off with some intro about me. My name is Franki and I'm a automotive technician by day, a detailer by night. I love keeping my cars pristine. I like to share some of my knowledge with you all.



anyways back to topic...

I have a 2011 STI in for Minor correction + Aquartz. This Subaru was the most challenging paint I ever dealt with, the clearcoat just sucks whatever polish I lay on it. I used Menz Powerfinish, superfinish, and AF Rejuvenate, but none of them worked. After 2 hrs of testing, I found baby oil does the trick with Menz powerfinish and Uber green polishing pad. This was not a full paint correction, but the owner really wanted something to aid his washing, so he chose to have Aquartz applied.

here is a video! pictures will come later.

Thanks for looking!!
Any questions or comments are welcome!

This is a deceptive way to advertise your services.

I am not an ignorant country bumpkin who just arrived in the big city on a truck full of lowly turnips that I was dumb enough, on top of everything else, to fall off of.

Looks like you do some serious quality work my friend.

And my friend has that same car...I have never seen a car that builds more brake dust. He spends more time cleaning his wheels than he does cleaning his car lol

Good video, nice editing, i feel that the video was some what informative. I will now start washing my wheels first instead of last.... Good job. That's very impressive!

Thanks to those who comments on the topic and those who is concern of me posting my work. I'm not showing my number or website, just a slide show of what was done, hoping it will help some members out. If the MOd feel this is advertisement, please delete this thread.
