    Hey everyone..quick write up here sorry no befores (I forgot bc the customer is a friend and we kind of bs'ed through setting up my stuff and what not). He picked this up maybe 2 months ago and I did our "Signature Mini-Detail" on it. Because of his crazy schedule we just got around to giving it a little extra love. Car was very dirty as he drives a ton for work.

    He gave me a call last week and the first thing he said was "your gonna be so mad at me"...Every detailer's favorite words right?!..maybe not. Because he was busy and we couldn't get our schedules to match he took it to a car wash and it came out with some decent scratches on the pillars between the top of the windows and the roof.

    I gave them a couple hits of M105 and a orange pad but couldn't get them out 100%. I was able to minimize them to where you couldn't see them looking straight on so he was happy with it.

    Jumping back a bit....

    Interior received a simple cleaning...
    -VERY thorough vacuuming
    -dusting of dash
    -wipe down of OPC to interior plastics
    -interior windows cleaned with light dilution of ONR

    Exterior recieved a little more than our "mini detail" that we regularly perform for him.
    - Wheels cleaned with sonax and then a quick shot of Iron X,
    - Wheel wells/tires/door jams cleaned with OPC
    - Rinsed with nomad sprayer
    - ONR wash
    - Clay with ONR clay lube
    - Tar spots around lower panels removed with 3M adhesive remover
    - "Mitsubishi", "Lancer", "Evolution" emblems, and dealer sticker removed with heat gun, 3M adhesive remover and floss from trunk lid
    - Polished with Flex 3401, Green Uber pad, and M205
    - Wipe down IPA
    - LSP Menzerna Powerlock
    - Aquaqax on wheels, exterior glass, and door jams
    - Perl on tires
    - Exhaust Optimum metal polish and steel wool.

    wheelz25 -

    Wow, looks beautiful !! So nice to see one of these in a different color than most are painted. Looks like a real "sleeper" now - gonna' surprise a few when he hits the go pedal!
    Now, if they could only tone down that rear wing - It would be fabulous... I know, it's just me... :)
    Excellent work, shine on !
