Over the weekend I detailed two cars at the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of performance. The first was 92 supercharged fox body mustang, a really sweet car: the second cae was 2004 (I think) Mitsubishi EVO VIII. This evo was just as modded as the 5.0, the car dynode at 330+ HP to the wheels!!! The owner tried to tell me the mods, but I just couldn’t keep up with them.

On to the detail. Sorry no “real” before shots as the lighting was horrible and the paint was white. The car was moderately swirled and need a good polishing. The interior was fairly clean and just needed a quick vac, dusting, and some spot cleaning on the carpets/seats.

Process:

Wash with NXT
Clay
Applied PB’s SSR2.5 via cyclo and green pads
SSR1 via cyclo green pads
AIO via PC polishing pad
#16 by hand
finished her out with OCW
all trim was dressed with AIO
Tires were dressed with Michelin tire dressing

On the motor I degreased with Costco APC 10:1
Waxed all painted areas with AIO/#16
Dressed with meguiars #40 cut 50/50 with water

The detail took just about 4.5 hours.
