Detail on the Hawk
One of my mates owns a local detailing business, so I gave him my Hawk for a paint correction. Here's his write up with pictures;
Where to start! This was a little bit of a challenge but none the less after hard work and determination we managed to turn it round in a weekend. This lovely Subaru arrived with us looking a little sorry for itself after years of washing on this soft paint! The process was as follows: Fully rinsed down Snow foamed with Valet Pro PH neautral Initially washed using Zaino Z7 Wheels cleaned with bilburry Clayed to remove surface contaminants Snow foamed and wash once again Dried, then damage inspected After playing around with a few pad/polish combinations Rupes UHS was used in conjunction with a Rupes pad, this lead too around 85% correction after a couple of hits. Once the car had been completely corrected or as good as within the time allowed it was washed once more before carefully drying to allow the sealing process. The surface was then covered in Z-AIO, this was allowed to haze before buffing off then a final application of Z5 to finish . Wheelse then sealed and tyres dressed. Overall this car took 2 full days work, http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pseqbpmqpw.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psivysdoiw.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pssxymjjuv.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pskaz7qosv.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps9bqq2khh.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pscpzce2ck.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psxm98vnht.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pscmxjzl1k.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psez4qcdm8.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps4cqb9omh.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pstfhmnzpw.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psejc4iapy.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps55n6q6gk.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pskkcq1wc8.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pse4m2bea4.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psluxpmpug.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psoyt4tcud.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psv3awcjwo.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...pspr5hzout.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psjwpooptt.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psdmdirrpe.jpg http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...psl1evmcz6.jpghttp://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps6yfccsg2.jpg |
Looks amazing, wish I had the time and the patience to get mine looking like that.
The challenge now is to keep it looking like that. |
This was about 2 weeks ago, she's already dirty again haha.
Plus I've now changed the pink STi logo's to black/chrome finishes to blend in with the rest of the car. I've got chrome effect STi stickers on the way for the fog lights as well which I really do need to get re-painted to blend in properly with the bumper! |
Looks great. I'm sure Lucky will be along soon with a sniffle of regret.

Haha. I have been debating whether to look for a trade to an older model STi instead of having a WRX, but then I think about how much I've put into this and can't make up my mind...
