Subaru BRZ prep- Premier Shine

Hey all,

Mid way through last week I had contacted my good friend and client, a Subaru dealership manager after hearing rumors of a BRZ coming in to make an appearance at a local show and asked to be able to contact the representative about me (Premier Shine) to become the first detailer in the U.S. to prep/ work on this car! I received a call back two days later from the Subaru north america rep giving me the "go" to work my magic on it in a short window of a little over two hours!


What I did-
Basic decon wash
Full Clay
Paint Sealant application
Basic Interior- vac, trim and degrease all plastics, wipe down suede.


The car was at the Richmond auto show, then made its appearance at the NY auto show last week at the Javitz center. After this the car was put into storage and driven down on a covered trailer to Richmond where the rep then picked it up and left shortly before 5 a.m. the day of the show. I then received the car that morning at around 7:45 a.m.



Products:
- CG citrus wash and clear/ Dawn wash
- Megs WB- 15:1
- Megs APC
- CG JetSeal 109
- 303 aerospace protectant
- Adams VRT
- Sonax Glass cleaner

Tools:
- Flex DA
- Uber spoke brush
- Various Swissvax brushes
- Wool mitts
- Pinnacle bug and tar block

Onto the pics

- Car arrived early a.m. pretty covered in bug guts on the front end, minimal brake dust and tons of pollen

Early a.m. the BRZ in the wash bay:

Wash process- stripping off the copious amounts of spray wax/ QD from the show nuts








Designated LA mitt (lower area)


Rinsed, blown dry with the blower then-
After the car was pulled from the wash bay- driven over across the lot :wink: to the bay area in front of the dealership to begin claying

The car was clayed with a fine grade clay- not much was picked up- apologies for no pics

Here I am applying JetSeal 109 via my Flex and a black applicator pad







People starting to gather....



Random shot


While waiting for the JetSeal to gas out and cure a little I began work on the interior




Awesome design here IMO


Vac'ing




The motor was spotless and a quick wipedown with some 303 made it perfect




Sealant removed, glass cleaned in and out and the tires dressed with VRT

afters....

So far, I believe I am the first detailer to work on the BRZ as well as post a write-up! Big milestone for me and my company!

Thanks for looking!
