    Great car, great color, keep up the good work!

    I'm a Subie fanatic having owned an 04 wrx, 06 sti and 98 legacy - don't let that car go.

      Good work! What products did you use? Are you going to go any further in removing the swirls?
      The power of the flex compells you!!!

            Big improvement. Are you gonna attempt to remove the rest of the swirls or leave them be?
            If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.

                sorry I didn't include the products:
                Engine:
                Sanded rusted parts, painted over w/engine paint
                Super degreases and a lot of scrubbing

                Body:
                -gold class wash, sprayed with the gilmour foamaster foam gun (I'm starting to really like this thing!)
                -jellyblade and hand dry
                -mild clay bar
                -#83
                -followed by #7
                -finished with gold class paste wax
                -all applied and removed with the G110

                i went over it again with the #7 a couple days later and i got 99% of the swirls out, but camera broke so I'm waiting for the pay check to buy a better one Nikon D70 here i come!!! lol

                  Thanks! I'm on the 3rd one myself, had a 96 impreza, then an 02 rs (swapped and boosted), then a Lightning, finally just picked up this one a week ago!
