"Having owned my Impreza STI for five months, I finally got sick of looking at all the swirl marks on it. The roof was also in a right state due to the car sitting under trees at the dealership before I bought it. After searching the web for ideas about how to get rid of all these marks I found Polished Bliss. A few hours later and a phone call to them to confirm what polish I needed and my order was placed.

First things first, the wash. A nice layer of Meguiar's Hyper Wash foam was put on the on the car using a PA Foam Lance. A few minutes later I rinsed off the foam and washed the entire car using a Meguiar's Lambswool Wash Mitt and the two bucket method. I must admit, this was the first time I'd ever used this method. No more sponge for me! As I washed the bodywork I could feel that lots of contaminants were firmly stuck to the paint.

Next, the whole car was clayed using a Meguiar's Quik Clay Kit. I'd had this kit sat in the garage for ages, but was always to scared to use it on my cars. I started off with the back window just to get a feel for how much lubricant to use and how much pressure was needed. When finished I could not believe the difference. The bodywork, glass and wheels all felt perfectly smooth as I ran my fingertips over them.

Next, I used my PB DAS-6 Soft Paint Polishing Kit, which came with Menzerna polishes. The transformation in the look of the paint could be seen every time the polished was buffed off. After machine polishing, I applied four coats of Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger. In between each coat the wheels got a coat of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant and the glass was cleaned with 3M Glass Cleaner. After two days of work, I was quite frankly amazed with the results!
