    Mitsubishi lancer Evolution Enhancement Detail

    On Saturday I did a enhancement detail on a rare Tommi Makinen Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the owner wanted it tidying up before he takes it to a show next weekend. The car has low mileage but the owner has had a bit of bad luck with the car as when he was trying to fix the roof of his garage the roof collapsed causing him and part of the garage roof to land on the rear drivers quarter, the owner was knocked unconscious and fractured his ankle but the worse part was that the car suffered some serious heavy scratches which owner is looking at getting resprayed later in the year.
    Not as many pic`s as I would have liked but a had a busy day,

    The wheels were cleaned with Meguiars Wheel Brightner and the car was snowfoamed twice using Valet Pro PH Neutral snowfoam

    The car was then washed using Megs Hyper wash, and rinsed with an open-end hose. Whilst the car was still wet it was clayed with Sonus ultra fine and Megs Last Touch used as a lube, and this was the clay after the full car. [​IMG]

    The car was then rinsed and was dried using a Uber Premium drying towel which once the car was clean and dry it gave me a better chance to see the condition of the paint, which as long with the deep scratches on the rear quarter there was also other random scratches and swirls.

    The car was then taped up with 3m blue tape and polished using a Makita rotary and Menzerna PO106FF and PO85RD 3.02 using a mixture of 3m pads and Serious Performance `Cool` pads.
    I then went over the car with Poorboys World Blackhole Show Glaze again using the rotary polisher, this is not a product I have used before but after reading some great reviews I thought I would give it a go, and I was really impressed with finish after use.
    The car was then given 2 coats of Collinite 915 using a German applicator pad by hand a buffed using uber microfiber cloths.
    The wheels were sealed with Jetseal 109 and the tyres dressed with Meguiars High Gloss tyre gel and the exhaust polished using 00 wire wool and Autosol metal polish.

    Finished shots.
