The Black Hotness

A few hours of detailing to get out all the buffer swirls from when I got the car. I did everything by hand and I’m extremely pleased with the results.

Just need to get some springs so the stance doesn’t suck. Bitch looks like a monster truck:headbang:

I’ll get some direct sunlight pictures in the morning :slight_smile:

Looks great man, what’d you use? I need to borrow a PC and have someone show me how to buff, I have some swirls/scuffs to take care of.

Looks great!

Thanks guys! Black is a huge PITA, but I think the end result is the most rewarding than with any other color.

Here’s what I did:
I wash with nano wash and wax, forgot who makes it, lol.
Chamois the car down.
Claybar, and use the Meguiars quick detail spray.
Meguiars cleaner wax with a microfiber pad
Collonite’s insulator wax with a microfiber pad, and wipe it down with a terry cloth.
I use goodyear wheel and tire cleaner with a firm bristled brush on the tires, and a tooth brush on the rim and caliper. I use Armor-all Tire wet on my tires.

I’m new to the detailing world as well. The more I looked at my car and saw the swirls the more it pissed me off enough to finally spend the whole afternoon on my day off making the car look good enough to make me happy with it again :smiley:

Ive seen this thread before but not sure where???
LOL
Nice job.

Gotta post on DITB for the people who don’t make it here often, lol. Thanks again.

Woot! car actually still looks clean today. lol

your sooooo lucky you got it that good by hand black shows everything

paint those wheels black!

Hmmm I think that would look cheezy, looks clean as is

I’ve seen people powdercoat them black, some look good, some look kind of shitty. Maybe when I get new wheels next spring :slight_smile:

i can make it look better :stuck_out_tongue:

Prove it :smiley:

I got $1,000 on psphinx.

I could do it too :slight_smile: But I should get my wrx looking good first before I do others

Oh I know he can do better, I’m just trying to con him into doing it for free cause I’m poor LOL

lol. No, I think this is his old new car.

and it looks pretty dern good :tup:
