    My friend Jacky brought his EVO X over to do a 1 step polishing and protection before winter hits. We both had lots of fun doing his car and learned many things from each other.

    His car isn't stock from the looks of things and infact I admire it very much. Beautiful car and loads of fun.

    Upon arrive his car looks like this...not uber dirty, but its not clean either.

    Took 6 hours...it was most epic. Had white spot burger afterward, which was also pretty epic. I polished the side skirts while Jacky did the bigger panels since he only brought a 5inch backing plate for his PC. We both learned many things. Overall it was a very rewarding experience and we were both very happy with the results.

    Thanks for viewing!

    Well the car is 1/2 in the garage so I guess it's ok, my parents don't really like it though.

    Started during the summr when I didn't want to wash the car in direct sunlight. Also my driveway is slanted. It also seemed like it was going to rain that day so we didn't want to be caught outside if it started raining

    very good eye, that is coquitlam
