The First & Last Paint Correction This Subaru WRX STi Will Ever Need! Polish/Pad Combination! Part 2

This is the second video in a short series showing the perfect pad and polish combination to perfect this car's finish. We will go well beyond the subject as we showcase the Subaru WRX STi. On April 2, 1988, Subaru Corporation officially launched its new performance and motorsports division, Subaru Tecnica International. That makes today STI's 30th anniversary, and in that time, it's given Subaru three World Rally Championships, earned four class wins at the Nürburgring, and built some incredibly fun-to-drive road cars.

Brian , I really can't express how much I've learned about paint correction from your videos. Thank you very much for the work you put into this channel. It helps a lot of us grow our passion for auto detailing

[@kimnewling5728]

Agreed

[@apexdetail85]

I am happy to help.

[@omarpatino5936]

Awesome vid guys! Looking forward to the next one.

It's looking like a Valentine's gift 🎁 awesome turn around.

[@sylvainmarier4818]

That is a great real world test with different product and same pad. Another good one Brian

[@eamonkelly2792]

The car looks great brian, you are a great teacher, it's great to have these videos as a back up in case we need them 👍👍👍👍👍

[@404notfound.....]

Outstanding results! showing proper technique!! Priceless 👍

[@wademiyataki9221]

Nice video, packed with information. I know you normally do test sections, but nice to see the process of what works and what doesn’t. Thanks Brian!

[@lorenreyes2855]

Great video Brian! Looks Fabulous! Just another show car! Thank you for your incredible knowledge! And Diversity of different products!

[@johnpivovarnik9678]

Great information very helpful for DIYERS . Thanks Brian.🤗

[@canadianelementsautodetailing]

I should have done some more research I just found your video about EX620, very valuable information thank you.

[@charlieporch3181]

CCS pads with TW work for me on enhancements in my area. The market is not paying for a one step here. Just a pass and fast wax . Done. Plenty of business. You are always spot on. Cheers.🇱🇷🇱🇷

[@mikeyp2447]

Wow! HUGE turn around!!

[@ShineYourLightDetailing]

Superb video.

[@lutherrodgers8793]

Thanks for the vids Brian ,being in Columbus Oh is really depressing rt now,being a driveway detailer our weather has been below freezing for days so i have had to turn customers away,our weather isnt getting any better with a huge storm coming Monday ,so thanks for vids

[@apexdetail85]

I hope this cold, active season ends soon!

[@Mdetailing]

Great video sir

[@bigd9848]

Excellent work ✊Great content to use as reference.You have so much information in all your prior videos.The weather is not good up on Long Island.My camaro ss id under its cover because of the snow. I have it well protected but can’t drive it because of the weather.Spring needs to come.✊

[@apexdetail85]

Spring can’t come soon enough!

[@lifeofbrian9511]

So much correction with so little effort. Thanks B

[@apexdetail85]

That is the idea !😁👍

[@Dougsterxplor]

Love it. I have a 2 stage paint UK Ford Sierra XR4x4i in my lock up needing some tlc. (anytime you are in Glasgow Brian feel free) 😂

[@mattduffy2023]

Wow, she is no longer a 6 footer. From 6 feet away before she looked good. Now she is beautiful 1inch from your face...lol. cant wait to see what you are going to put on for protection. Great job

[@luca7588]

New subscriber here! When does the next video come out? I’ve bought the 3D one and CC pad!

[@vetteboy1024]

Good stuff

[@jasoncraig7096]

Nice work!!! I like seeing the work in process and the options available to get desired results. Doing the test spots can be time consuming at first but pays off in the end of done correctly. At what point do you decide to use a rotary?? Seems you have been using a DA more lately!

[@jamesd.4223]

One of my main problems...to many products and not enough cars (weekend warrior). Just too many good products being released that I'd like to try. It was your videos that led me to 3D One and I have no regrets. Between 3D One and Menzerna 400, 3500, and 2500, I'm pretty much covered for polishes and compounds. The TW One and Done and the Xtreme Solutions products do catch my eye though...😅

[@joaquinfonseca6563]

hello , mr. brian how about a video on your story. how did you end up detailing? what kept you going , what is the purpose of all your videos?

[@apexdetail85]

Why not.👍

[@MNpicker]

I dont like red to much but... I really like that color on that car👍🏻

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

I like other's red cars but they are not for me either.😉😃

[@norcalspitshine9067]

Nice

[@koneser20]

hey Brian amazing results as always question, can I put a ceramic coating after the 3d one?

[@detailit]

TRY CSI CERAMX. GREAT STUFF!

[@johncullinan8041]

So many products so little time! Brilliant as usual Brian. Interesting what works and to what level. What did junior use? 🇬🇧

[@apexdetail85]

His side (passenger side) had some branch or schrub scratches. He used 3D One and a Urofiber pad.

[@mikeyp2447]

I have two... TW 1 & Done and LVR 500.

[@TheBLT16]

Hello Mr Brian. I was wondering if you could revive a few mini series that you did in the past. 1.) Revamp or restart/redo rotery polisher training videos. 2.) If possible, can you restart your compounds and mostly your polishs medals tables and testing and how to videos. 3.) I love learning new things from you. Can you please do more educational/how to videos, for example "What are the best beginners polishing pads and how to use them" Love your old Uro-Fiber pad videos. 4.) Will you ever be doing mail call again? 5.) If possible, Can you please review the Buff and Shine Reflection Artist polishing pad five pad kit? 6.) Thank you for your time and for everything you do for us.

[@apexdetail85]

I can revisit... sure.👍

[@kimnewling5728]

That is sweet! Question: does this car represent a "common" car that comes into your shop? This is the best series I've seen since I subscribed.

[@apexdetail85]

The imperfections are common for my area. The paint type is specific to JDM and Asian cars.

[@chrismurphy783]

Better than the day it rolled out of the factory.

[@canadianelementsautodetailing]

Hello Brian, I have a request to ask you maybe not related to this video. Have you used Shinemate X620 15MM DA? If you have, for me it would be greatly prescient it to see a video about it with your opinion on that product, if you haven’t please can you get one, and use it for a while and let us know what you think of it. I was thinking of getting the EX610 on Carzilla because it has a package with Carpro Polish and pads but I heard so much good stuff about the EX620 and I’m thinking of changing what I’m going to order but I would love to hear your opinion on it. Thank you.

[@danakern2440]

No dessert for Jr. caught him wearing a watch while detailing

[@apexdetail85]

He is to use it for medical ( heart rate and PB)

[@danakern2440]

@@apexdetail85 my bad I was trying to be funny he does great work and I'm sure you are extremely proud of him

[@johnshukeireh5804]

I have one of these cars and am gonna use megs ultimate compound and polish because that’s all I have

[@apexdetail85]

That should work fine.👍

[@pwrshots]

waiting for the topper

[@HutchDesigns]

How would you compare 3d one vs turtle wax 1 and done?

[@jamesd.4223]

Sounds like it should a future video in the making!

[@kengilliskg]

excellent video Brian amazing job once again with the comparison on the different pads and products. I have a question about the TW one and done do you think that it would work on heavy oxidation on a RV with a wool pad. And what speed for a 8" buffer.

[@apexdetail85]

Yes... clean the pads often and run at mid speed maybe a little higher.

[@kengilliskg]

@@apexdetail85 thank you Brian and keep up the great work

[@tommytuner01]

I have this exact car and I have always wondered what the best process would be to work on the door handles and behind the door handles in the recessed area. You didn't really touch on that. This area tends to see a lot of wear. Did you address the paint behind the door handles on this car, and if so, what was your process? Thanks in advance!

[@charlieb308]

Lots of guys complain about the STI paint, I owned a 15 WRX and 16 STI and drove a total of 70,000 miles I had zero paint issues. I had zero paint chips etc. I had both my cars in NY winters lots of salt flying up and I had them up to 144mph. Of course I had white and silver paint, never buy a black Subaru the paint seems softer

[@marchufnagel9068]

Do you have a link for the orange hex pad you used in this video?

[@Codriver72]

It is something special about red cars. I'll have to admit that my girlfriend is right.

Winner winner chicken dinner 👏🥇🏆

[@marksafady5986]

I don’t understand why you don’t do a panel wipe before showing results. The oils can definitely mask micro marring.

[@NinaBabyTV]

Might’ve not been shown this time, but I’m positive I’ve seen it many times.

[@marksafady5986]

@@NinaBabyTV there was no editing. He goes right in to show the results after wiping off the polish.

[@apexdetail85]

There are NO FILLERS in these polishes. My towels are damp with panel prep. I have shown prep being used in many vids.

[@marksafady5986]

@@apexdetail85 there might not be DURABLE fillers, but polishing oils, generally speaking WILL fill.

[@dustin3700]

Hey Brian, is you're son going to take over operations in the future? Any plans if you decide to stop detailing as a means of money?

[@Ricky_R]

Looks like it’s wet even before protection. Wow 🍻

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

4th from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷

[@ExclusiveTint-CarDetailing]

I notice you switch between shine mate pro is that the 15 or 21? And the griots 21mm polisher how do you find the shine mate compared to any other polisher you've used?

[@apexdetail85]

It’s actually quite impressive for the price.

[@vnitto]

What brand of hex pad is that?

[@13pcbs]

On such softs, do you ever have concerns over large pad single contact point riding over prominent panel creases vrs full pad face contact on flats?

[@apexdetail85]

Not particularly. Just ease up pressure riding up over those creases and body lines.

[@craigtershel4134]

Been using the griot da a lot lately Brian???? How come??

[@apexdetail85]

Just a coincidence that it is the nearest 21mm at the time.

[@JvMr333]

Nice! But that is driven in the snow out there with those tyres??

[@apexdetail85]

No.. stored until spring.

[@JvMr333]

@@apexdetail85 Ah ok nice :)

[@23dothedew]

How do you know if a car has a thin clear coat or a thick clear coat? How do you know if you have soft paint?

[@apexdetail85]

Newer vehicles and Asian/JDM have soft thin clear. Do a test stop on all vehicles to determine hardness.

[@robo7767]

Brian, was your son using the urofiber pad on the passenger side?

[@dustin3700]

Definitely a euro 50/50 with 3d one and 3Ds finishing polish together. Panel probably needed more cutting than the driver side.

[@apexdetail85]

The passenger side had branch or schrub scratches. He said he needed 3D One and Urofiber pads in those areas.👍

[@idkidkk4410]

All those rock chips on the hood... :(

[@rangerbay2]

Don't hoard products! Where is the fun in that?

[@GSP-76]

Title sounds click-baity

[@jamesbiedlar590]

If its...the first paint correction its getting...and knowing his maintenance and after care....this title is perfect.
