Subaru Forester Shines Again

'Overlapping' water etched marks developed on the paint work (above). This issue is an ongoing challenge for all dark colour rides.

This black Subaru has been skipping the maintenance session for sometime and the water etched mark issues are bad. The etched marks developed on the paint work are 'overlapping' and that 'overlapping' layering effect has cause the paint work to lose much of it's clarity and there goes the shine as well.


Many hours were used up on correcting the severe paint defects by machine polishing. Finally the shine, clarity and gloss were brought back to this black car. In this session, the trade off was about 10 - 12 microns of the top coating which was quite a substantial amount IMO. The hard work invested was worth it whenever i saw the smile on the owner's face.
The corrected paint work was meticulously clean up and seal off with an appropriate LSP coating.
After the final protection cum inspection process, this Subaru is ready to be handed over to it's owner. The conditions of the paint work will only deteriorate from the moment it leaves here and regular basic maintenance will help to prolong the duration till the next actual polishing session. Dark colour rides will need more attention than light colour ones, choose the colour of your ride wisely. :)
Thank you for viewing.
