Subaru WRX Paint Correction Detail

PERFECTION isn’t easy

But neither is true detailing. As a professional detailer serving Long Island, NY, my goal is to provide the best possible services to my clients. My goal is perfection and I settle for nothing less. This particular client bought the vehicle in this condition and didn’t contribute to the heavy scratching and swirling. The goal was to establish a flawless finish so that the owner can appreciate the “new car” feeling. I thrive off a challenge and I knew that correcting this particular WRX was going to be difficult.



Here is a quick example of the heavy swirling and scratching on the door panel.

And here is the fully corrected door panel. This took quite a few heavy passes and some finishing passes in order to remove all of the deep scratches and swirling.

The front door panel was in even worse condition. Look at how much of the gloss and reflection is diffused through the swirling.

The finished product is an intensely glossy and reflective surface.

No stones (or panels in this case) are left unturned. This is the upper pillar between the windows and the roof. Many detailers are scared of this area. The paint is generally very thin and caution has to be taken to not burn through the paint. Also the surface is generally very small (3-2 inches) and smaller tools and pads are required to not burn the trim.

I am not scared of this region and have plenty of experience working with thin paint in tight areas. It took quite a bit of effort and time to properly fix this region but it was a major success. All of the swirling was removes and left behind a fantastic finish.

To give you a better example of what a real detailer is capable of look at this before and after. Only the best detailing from Xclusive Autoworks.

Sadly the headlights are fading from the inside and need to be removed at a later point. The exterior of the headlights were wetsanded, buffed, and sealed. But there is a leak from the inside causing internal oxidation. This can only be repaired by removing, sanding, and sealing the headlights all over again. This was saved for a later time.

All exterior surfaces were sealed with a long term polymer sealant which will outlast any conventional wax or over the counter products. Generally giving the client about 3-6 months of water and UV protection.
