I washed it inside and out....looks new again
I also discovered a small 2 inch scratch so I made a touch up. I still need to work on it a little but it'll look ok once I'm done with it....

I washed, waxed and cleared up some scratches on mine.

In the last week I vacuumed the inside and installed my rear sway bar. Next on the list is tint matching the front windows to the rest of the car and getting my license plates.

how much and whats the size?

I used my outback as an equipment hauler to fix my garage door. I needed a welder, grinder, and rivit gun to fix it. Took me two hours total, saved an 85 dollar visit from the garage door company. Also saved me the cost of a new door panel and additional labor.

11$ for the 0.5oz (14.7ml)

I got some off of amazon - I am not close to a dealer and I nicked a place on the door frame.

What did you use for wax? I just waxed my wife's car but am not real happy with the stuff I used. I was going to hit my new outback before fall.

I used the Meguiar Ultimate Quik Wax. It has excellent reviews on Amazon. Plus, the wax process is way shorter than regular liquid or paste wax. Worth to give it a try!:29:

How does the area look after touch up is applied. Would scratch remover be the alternative?

In my case, one of the scratch was a little too deep for scratch remover i had to fill it in a tad. It looks ok and you probably couldn't find it if i didn't tell you where to look, but i can still see it. I'll work on it a little more but the key to hide a touch up is to cover it with some clear once you are satisfied with the paint touch up. I aply it over my touch up with a very fine brush.

I have no association with Meguiar's, but I also use and recommend their products because their Ultimate Quick Wax and Ultimate Liquid Wax are very easy to apply and remove, especially the Quick Wax. After a wash, it can be applied in 15 minutes and leaves a great shine. The best part is neither product leaves a residue on the black plastic trim. In fact, I use the Quick Wax on the black trim because it prevents fading from UV rays and it doesn't leave a high sheen. These products can be purchased at any WalMart, Target and most major retailers with Auto Supplies.

Question for Johnny-D: Forgive my ignorance, but is that an aftermarket hitch? If so, is it better to go aftermarket than the factory hitch?

The factory hitch was over four hundred dollars. I planned on installing it myself but if you have one installed it is over $700.00 and it is a 1-1/4 hitch. Everything I own is setup for a two inch hitch. I have a modular bike rack that expands to four bikes and I didn't want to use an adapter, it is much stiffer mounted in a two inch hitch. I also tow a utility trailer and my attachments are two inch. The factory hitch looks better and will tow the same amount. I should have waited, other companies are coming out with nicer looking hitches that look more like a factory hitch. Torque lift I think also makes a good looking hitch or is coming out with one that is still half the price of a factory hitch.

Wow, your dealer is charging way more than mine. Subaru hitch with installation is $520. Price actually has been reduced . . . not that I'm going that route.

well, not today but last week...

loaded up the 2-week-old car to the rafters, strapped a 15' canoe on top, drove 300 miles to go camping. Still got nearly 30 MPG!

Not the 47 I was used to with my former TDI Golf, but not bad...

Got the Opti-Coat paint protection done on mine today, really makes that dark red pop.
