NYCdob Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Last weekend in NY was perfect for detaling, cloudy and warm but no rain. And there is no rain all week!! My girl went away so i had some alone time with my mistress (LGT). I went out and bought $75 worth of detailing products after reading OCDetails write up. I decided i needed products now and couldn't wait for an online order so i went with the Mother 3 step system - pre-wax cleaner, sealer and glaze, and syntheytec wax. I spend 2 days hitting every inch of the car and the results were sweet - now i know y they call it obsedian black - there are flakes in the paint!!! Now i can feel better about leaving it in the sun all day. NEway the reason i say bitter sweet is because as you clean and shine that beautiful pain you get to see all the little scuffs and nicks in the paint - nice rock in the front, little door ding in the pass side etc. OH well thats life i guess Also debaged to back no need for the life story they put back there LOL ~DOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Black is the worst too because when it gets all shined up it really brings out the imperfections. Black is a pretty unforgiving color and every dent and ding in the paint will show up when the paint is polished up nicely. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

iuksob03 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was all set to do a full detail on mine last weekend but it rained. Now it's supposed to rain this weekend as well, and college football starts next weekend. I don't think I'll ever get to try my new PC out.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 This is why I got silver this time. I love black, but it's far too painful to see all the blemishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 ^^ +1. I think that Scooby has a particularly attractive black on the WRX and Leggy recently - and the wife and I both wanted that color for our rides. But alas, we both realized that it would just be too hard to take care of, especially here in NE-Ohio. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I still have a bottle of touchup from my 02 black WRX if anyone wants it for free. :dunno: I really liked both the light and dark blues for 05- almost got those in lieu of black but changed to silver at the last minute-noticed my Dad's silver car never really looks that dirty.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think it's a different black- but I'm not sure- whatever they were using for black in 02- the black with blue sparkles in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
