Wife's 08 Lancer, and a client's 92 Miata (again)

This is my wife's 08 Lancer. She's had it about a year and a half. It just needed a little spring cleaning.
Process:
QEW wash - 2 buckets
light clay with a very mild Clay
Z-AIO, Flex, white LC, speed 5
1 coat of ZFX'd Z2
1 coat of Zaino Clear Seal
Z8 wipedown

Tires were dressed with Giovanna Wheel Gel
Wheels were coated in Zaino Clear Seal

Interior only needed vacuuming, and an ONR / water wipedown.

Afters:










Mitsubishi has actually come a long ways with their interiors. My wife really likes the layout of the controls, and the standard Bluetooth



Next up, a 92 Miata....

Re: Wife's 08 Lancer, and a client's 92 Miata (again)

I have detailed this before. This is a 92, with the original Sunburst Yellow paint. It is the second most rare color ever for the Miata, with under 1400 made. It is also single stage paint. I cleaned this up again, as he takes it to cruise ins, and events like Cars & Coffee.

Process:
QEW wash
No clay needed
Z-AIO, Flex, White Pad, speed 5
CMW applied, and buffed off with OCW
The tires were dressed with Giovanna Tire Gel

Interior only needed vacuuming and an ONR/Water wipedown

The top was dressed with an owner supplied dressing made by The Wax Shop.

Afters:




Racing beat dual exhaust
