Is 15 Outback Subaru Touch up Paint available already?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....
Yes I bought my touch up paint at dealer...
how much and whats the size?
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.
thx.
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?I washed it inside and out....looks new again

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.
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.
You know the drill...... Pics Please. :29:
