How to Polish a Subaru Legacy

First available to the public in 1989, the Legacy is a vehicle manufactured by Subaru, a Japanese car company. Available in both sedan and station wagon styles, polishing this car requires car soap, a car sponge, polish, wax and a lint-free cloth.


  1. Clean the automobile with car soap and water mixed according to the manufacturer's directions. If your Subaru Legacy is a station wagon model, use a brush with a pole attachment to access hard to reach places on the roof of the automobile. Otherwise, a car sponge may be used. Rinse the car.

  2. Dry the Legacy using a lint-free towel. Leaving the car to dry in the sun may allow pollen, leaves or other particles to land on the car, making polishing the Subaru Legacy more difficult.

  3. Spread car polish on the car using a chamois cloth, lint-free cloth or polishing rag. If the Legacy has any minor scratches, the polish may be able to remove these blemishes. Use a circular motion for the application process, and make sure the car is entirely buffed and free of excess polish. Allow the polish to dry thoroughly.

  4. Apply a coat of wax to the vehicle using a lint free towel. Working in small sections, spread the wax on the Subaru Legacy. In most cases, one coat of wax is sufficient.

  5. Buff the Legacy to obtain a shiny exterior. A lint-free towel works for this purpose, although some car enthusiasts prefer to use car buffing pads or buffing machines.
