Peachstate Detail of Atlanta Subaru BRZ in World Rally Blue w/ Wolf's Hard Body

Just over 2k miles on this Subaru BRZ in World Rally Blue. The trunk and rear bumper has some swirls, but for the most part the rest of the paint only needed a one step.

Process:

Foamed with Megs hyper wash and dawn mix.
Washed via 2BM and sheepskin mitts.
Wheels cleaned with Wolf's Decon Gel
Tires cleaned with Megs APC 1:3.
Paint decontaminates removed with clay towel and glide as a lube.
Swirls on trunk and rear bumper cover compounded w/ M101/D300 mix 5.5" Megs MF pad via GG polisher.
Polished all paint with Sonax Perfect Finish w/ white flat LC pad via GG or G110v2 polishers.
2x IPA wipedown

Wolf's Hard Body coating for long term protection.

Video of finished product:

Very nice! Thinking about getting either Opti-guard or Wolf's Hard Body when my BRZ arrives in August (ETA).

nice to see a different LSP other than Opti Coat.

how's the Sonax PF working for you that you got from Todd? nice and easy on the soft subbie paint?

have you tried it on any other manufacturer paints?
Thank you Alex! This is the only paint that we have used SPF on so far. It seems to have more cut then HD polish, finishes out just as well, it also wipes away from the surface with ease.

Thank you Mike! The sun was trying, but there was no over powering this gloss.
