2007 Wrx Wagon Detail

[immacreflections]

This is a forum members 07 WRX booked in for a basic detail and correction. The car arrived and was clear that the previous owner had shares in drive thru car washes evident by straight scratches over the bonnet and roof and horizontal scratches on the tail lights!

The idea of this detail wasn’t to perfect it but to improve it to a reasonable standard. As you will see from pictures it is no where near perfect but A LOT better than previously as the job specified.

A Few prior to starting work.

Cleaning out some of the soot in the tips, you have to be carefull with this as water can damage muffler packing.

Removed the badge, used a product called Autosmart Tardis to remove the rest of the sticky residue then gave it a polish to get the "hologram" off of it.

If you like give me a call sometime swing past and we can remove any badges you want and fix up the holograms, wont cost much at all.

Assuming your a playboy reader and didnt actually read the paragraph at the start, if you did you would relise its a clients car not mine. But yes that is oxidization around the fuel cap.
