Well what a superb day, with a superb guy, superb car, and superb results!
Fantastic to meet you Terry and have the pleasure of working on your STi.
First new shape STi I have seen and had chance to go round in the flesh - and I’m hooked! Amazingly mean looking motor, like a stealth bomber - without the stealth! Ha ha
The gorgeous metallic blue and silver fleck in the deep black paintwork was just a pleasure to work on!
And always nice when people are keen to help out and learn and ask questions - I am nowhere near perfect and definitely do not know probably even a 1/4 there is to know about detailing but what I do know, I’m happy to share!
Usual methods used starting with the wheels and then moving on to the bodywork etc:
