Oakes - Detailed: 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution - jjm4life - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Oakes · 05-21-2009, 10:42 PM

Here is a full exterior detail (pacakge III) of jjm4life's Mitsubishi Evolution, ended up being a three day long detail that took care of about 95% of the problem areas Mat pointed out to me. Mat got in contact with me Monday before he left townto have the car done while he was gone, it was returned to him tonight after his arrival. Tried to be as precise with the pictures as possible, however it is difficult to capture defects with white paint.

Process:
Menzerna 203 - PC, orange pad
Menzerna Intensive Polish - PC, orange pad
Menzerna Final Polish - PC, white pad
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze - Cyclo, white pads
Optimum Opti-Seal Sealant - microfiber hand applied
Pure Carnuaba paste wax - hand applied

Before Pictures

Wheels Before/After

Some 50/50 photos, very difficult to take with a white car.

If you squint you can see the different shades of the paint from the left unpolished side and the right polished side

Rear Quarter before/after

very nice as usual, love the shots with the sun going down

The01Cav · 05-21-2009, 10:52 PM

Very nice! I wish I could get someone local that knew what they were doing do buff my car, The previous owner didn't believe in a hand wash, and the dealer burnt the paint in spots trying to buff it... Awesome work as always, and the white wheels really make the car jump out.

siqq subie · 05-21-2009, 11:15 PM

got to see it in person done... looked amazing. those before shots are horrid, had no idea it was that bad.

lagos · 05-21-2009, 11:17 PM

The Captain · 05-21-2009, 11:24 PM

gaaaaawd i love that car. Nice job.

Albertrt-4 · 05-21-2009, 11:26 PM

you do a great job man, what do you charge for something like you did here? I'd love to take time to do this to my car but I just dont have the time. If you want to PM thats fine.

04AV6 6SPD · 05-21-2009, 11:30 PM

nicely done as usual, hows 203 compared to SIP?

Oakes · 05-21-2009, 11:31 PM

Thanks for the comments guys! I as well love this car, perfect combo and I got a lot of double takes and a thumbs up from a Porsche 997 when I drove it back to him.

Thanks man! A full exterior only detail exactly like the one above starts at $200, there are some extras to the details that can be found in the vendor section in my price outline. Requires the car to be left with me for 2-3 days depending on the extent of the work needed. Let me know if you're interested!

Thank you sir, it's just SLIGHTLY less abrasive than SIP for OEM paint, but definitely helps with the gloss

Such a good looking car. Very well executed.

Omar_MSP · 05-21-2009, 11:45 PM
