    Paint correction will improve the appearance of any vehicle regardless of color. This Evo is obviously white so some may argue "Why?". I would argue the opposite and well... I'll let the thread do the talking into why it adds copious amounts of win to the car.

    The owner of this vehicle is a fellow member of DB and i had the privilege to work with him on this car. He is now equipped with the knowledge and experience to tackle any detailing project :thumb:

    Various swirl marks, hazing and light scratches were apparent upon closer inspection under the correct lighting.

    Car was washed with a citrus based cleaner in conjunction with an all purpose cleaner to remove the ample amounts of beading present.

    LSP was applied and final shots were taken. Should white cars be paint corrected?

    Great job on the detail Tim!!! You're right, you made a big difference even if it's white. You're good at taking pictures of swirls. It's hard to capture them on lighter colored cars.

    Awesome work Tim. I think it removed a tinge of yellow from the clear.

    This makes me miss the warm So Cal weather I grew so accustomed to.
