Default Ultimate Detailed: My 2007 OBP WRX - Detailing Obsession (Picture HEAVY)

I've spent a lot of time this month detailing other people's cars in the Chicagoland area; from Honda Odyssey's to EVO's (which I will make more write-ups on later), that I haven't been able to make time to keep my own WRX defect free. Last weekend I finally got the chance, and I found that "correcting" my car was quickly turning into a detailing obsession. I recently purchased a whole new set of detailing products, and while they definitely were able to make customer's cars look good, I was urging to see what type of results they can give to my own car. Onto the detail!

Here's my 2007 OBP WRX.



Step 1: Wash and Clay
Wash Materials:
TS Grout Sponge
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash n Clear diluted to wax stripping ratio.
Two 5-Gallon Buckets with Grit Guards
E-Z Daytona Wheel Brush
Meguiar's Slide Lock Brush
Tire Scrub Brush
Bleche-Wite Tire Cleaner

Clay:
32 oz distilled water with 1/2 oz of Meguiar's #00 Hi-Tech Wash
DP Detailing Clay
Blackfire Claybar Extender






Unfortunately, there were no pictures taken at this point since I was the only one taking pictures and didn't want to wet the camera too much. Rest assured, after the wash and clay the paint/wheels were clear of any surface contaminants.

Step 2: Correction
Those that know me personally know that I'm VERY anal about keeping my car clean, and while the car may have looked decent to someone else after the wash/clay, 30 seconds under the halogens revealed a completely different car.
