Mitchubishi: FULL DETAIL WW EVO IX! 56K...why do you exist?
Hello all, this was a detail performed over a a day and a half for a forum member. He contacted me in hopes of getting the car looking better than new. I did not see the car before hand, but knew I had my work cut out for me. What's more, the day for the detail was the "one year" with the car! What a present to it! I had a ton fo claying to do once I discovered the enormous amount of paint contimination due to parking underneath power lines during rain storms...metal flakes off the lines and onto the paint, essentially rusting into the clearcoat.
As for the result, I'll let the pics do the talking.
Process was:
Exterior:
Wash
P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner and pressure washed on wheels....wow those were dirty!
HEAVY CLAYBAR (2.5 HOURS!!!)
Menzerna Intensive Polish on Meguiar's Polishing Pad
Mezerna Final Polish II on Meguiar's Polishing Pad
Poorboy's EX-P by hand
Aquawax wipe down with EX-P removal
Armorall on the tires
Engine bay:
Washed
All pastic dressed with 303 Aerospace
Interior:
Vacuumed
10:1 APC on all surfaces
Leather Conditioned
303 Aerospace on all vinyl
Windows inside and out with NXT Glass cleaner
Before:
Swirls:
Badge Removal, dirt around it:
AFTERS!:
No more swirls!

Great work. I tried claying my rear bumper, just the top part, wore me out. To do a whole car for 2.5 hours, that would knock me out.
But what sucks is theres no set time a good wash will last. I spent hours on my car Sat., today, it rains, can't even tell I washed it anymore.

Oh, a question, when you removed the emblem, did it damage it? Like, do you think after you took it off you could put it back on? Just because mine is crazy dirty under it like that one and I want to take it off, clean it, and put it back on.
