Tires, wheel wells, wheels all rinsed down
Pre washed with Iron X to remove all the iron deposits
Rinsing the Iron X off
Washed the STI with einszett W99
Final rinse
Next we clayed the car. Not much after the Iron X and W99
Tires and Wheel Wells dressed
Door jambs cleaned up
The imperfections were much like this all over the car.
