XSXV: BRZ Re-New Car Prep

A forum member recommended me to this forum! Hope to share alot of work with you guys!

This BRZ had plastidip removed from it, so the correction process was a little more aggressive then what i would consider "new car prep"

Wheels Wrapped up because they were coated matte. Any harsh soap or cleaning solution would instantly damage the finish. Wheel wells were not neglected.



Complete decon of the paint. Foamed down a few times, left to dwell with citrus cleaner on trouble spots. Finished with ironx wash and TarX along the mud flaps. Mild clay all the way cross.



After drying.



Prep for surgery.



Cutting. For all the tight spots



Final Polish



Liking the results.. bare paint



ceramic coating.



Letting it harden up for couple hours. In the mean time:

PlastiDip over spray and road grime. Diffuser was plastidipped as well



Cleaned up





Interior: Micro Vacuum, optimum interior, wolfgang on the dash and leather



Engine after a few thousand miles




50/50



Little engine detailing.




After a few hours a little extra just to make the car extra wet.



Few pics, exterior trim protection, ceramic on all the glass, Wheel wells dressed, tire shine etc









Thanks for viewing!
