Subaru BRZ - Paint Correction & Kamikaze Miyabi Coating
This Subaru BRZ came in for paint correction and Kamikaze application. The car was in pretty bad shape with a lot of swirls and scratches. Before paint correction, the car needed to be washed multiple times, along with the use of Iron X, to get rid of contaminants off the car. Even after using Iron X, the car that was naturally white was still brown in color due to the amount of dirt etched into paint. After multiple passes with Menzerna 4500, the paint was glowing again. With the paint being free of defects, two coats of Kamikaze Glass Coating were applied and cured using IR light.
