Ok... maybe not quite chrome, but not too shabby. Some more pics:

 

 

 

My PIAA Ion Crystal fog lights are a yellow-green mix, not shown well on the pictures. Also, the HID beam is more of a bluish white.

Nah, I keep the paint in meticulous condition. My full regimen happens twice a year:

Meguiars Gold Class car wash
Clay Magic clay bar
3M Swirl mark remover (by random orbital polisher)
Klasse All-in-one x2
Klasse Sealant Glaze x2
S100 wax
Mother's Showtime quick detailer

Since I kept my paint in pretty good condition. I just washed and waxed it with the Meguiar's and the S100, respectively.

Damn, how did you get your car that clean?!?! I have a black wrx too and about 2 days after i wash it there is dust and water spots all over it. Since I never get to park indoors I need a car cover. Could you help a brother out and give me some pointers??
bling bling!!

 

Thanks man! I tried to keep it as non-rice and classy as possible. I didn't want to drive around a vehicle that my girlfriend would be embarassed to be in

You can keep dust at bay with the right products and the right techniques. I've found that certain waxes attract more dust than others.

Meguiar's Cleaner Wax = dust magnet, less deep looking than other waxes, odd consistency.

Meguiar's Gold Class liquid = dust magnet, but looks AWESOME for a day or two.

Zymol Cleaner wax (blue) = dust magnet, creates a TON of dust through application, tough to buff off paint, unspectacular looks.

S100 = pretty good at keeping dust away, easiest wax to use BY FAR!, great reflectivity and depth.

Klasse AIO + SG = great for keeping away dust, but less deep looking than when topped with S100.


I run the California Car Duster over my car every couple of days, followed immediately by Mother's Showtime quick detailer and a microfiber cloth. I also wash my car every 1-2 weeks, to keep buildup of dirt low.
