A friend wanted his vehicle detailed in exchange for some of his computer services, so I was happy to trade considering my computer was plagued with viruses that slowed-down its performance significantly. Unfortunately, this vehicle was brought to me during a cloudy, rainy day, so we couldn't get any really good before shots. The sun was never out on the first day to show the typical swirls in this difficult-to-capture paint.
By far the wheels on this beauty were the best looking that I've seen on an Evo. With slight lowering springs the vehicle was set-off wonderfully. Amazingly, this vehicle had not been washed since JULY!!!! I expected to find heavy contamination within the paint, as well as significantly stained wheels.
But, both areas of the vehicle were not as bad as I thought. This was probably because the vehicle was clay barred a few months earlier by the owner to remove the little rust spots that are formed when the vehicle is not cleaned for long periods of time.
Since the weather was cloudy on the first day, during the polishing process we brought the car out a few times to check it under the sun the next day before continuing on the vehicle. I knew that we weren't going to be entirely finished with the vehicle until night time, I took a few beauty pics of the vehicle without wax and tire shine.
Here are some of the before pics:
My attempts at capturing the swirls:
The following was performed on the vehicle:
-Wash
-Mother's Clay Bar
-HTECH with PFW via rotary
-106FF with white lc flat pad
After Polishing:
Many more pics to come...
