2011 Subaru STI Minor Correction Detail + Aquartz

OTD · 05-11-2012, 02:03 PM

Hi guys

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.

anyway I made a video, pictures will come later..

Such a nice piece of art on your side! however i was just curious how challenging is the repaint job. Guess the products you were using were not cutting at all (i.e. clearcoat was very hard) or could be a soft coat?

The clear coat was on the soft side
