2009 STI ABC Wash and Light Paint Correction
Subject: Brand new 2009 Subaru STI in WRB with 1500 miles. The car is a daily driver that will be living outside and making frequent ski trips up north.
The car had been sitting on the dealer lot for just about 10 months.
The customer brought the car in with the usual, some water spots, light swirls and scratches.
We prepped the car by using the ABC Wash System. Then proceeded to clay and polish the car out with Menznera PO106FA. Finally we applied a nice coat of Collinite.

Great detailing work; as always Phil
Environmental Contaminants
Vehicle manufacturer studies have shown that failure to remove environmental contaminants from paint film can cause premature degradation of the paint system. While clay products are useful for overspray, they cannot deep clean the surface and pores of the paint. This can only be accomplished through a thorough chemical cleaning. The ValuGard Neutralization System is the most recognized and approved chemical neutralization system in the industry.
In fact, major auto manufactures have issued technical service bulletins/advisories directing their dealers and port operations to use the ValuGard System for required repairs and pre-treatment for acid rain and industrial fallout repairs, safe for both the user and the environment, its VOC compliant and uses no carcinogenic or toxic components.
