2008 Subaru Forester

Cam · Jul 28th, 2008, 10:47 PM

I went to visit my brother this weekend, and took a big bin full o' detailing stuff with me. After all was said & done, he's got a shiny Subaru and I'm afraid I may have turned him into an OCD detailing guy like the rest of us...

Before, brown tires & dealer-installed swirls:

And after:

We washed & clayed, then hit it with good old #80 on the PC.

Some random deeper scratches got the Scratch-X treatment by hand, then onto NXT 2.0 by PC.

The tires got some #40, and the black trim got some GC Trim Detailer. The next morning, UQD shined things up for these pics:

The whole process took about 3 hours with both of us working on it, and we were real pleased with the results. I left some hand-me-down Deep Crystal 1 & 2, Scratch-X, and some other goodies for him to maintain with, and I think they'll be put to good use. Thanks for looking!

Nice results. Tell him to get rid of those Geolandars quick. They are terrible tires.
