Yes, its been over a year, but heres some detailing shots of the evo
 
So I did a few detailing clinics a while back, and at the first one, found that my Evo paint was in dire need of correction.

Mind you, these pics were taken early in 2008. I've since sold the evo in april 08.

Test spot - whoa

The paint correction took FOREVER, so I was very unmotivated to take pictures. Basically a 2.5 car detail.
Process:
Claybar
Orange Pad + Swirl
Orange Pad + Swirl
White Pad + Swirl
White Pad + Swirl
White Pad + Amigo
Black Pad + Epic
Black Pad + Epic



Some autocross scars

All gone!

Apparently, the whole car had a layer of dead paint on it - the doors are CLOSED

Fenders are corrected, doors are not. I basically had to do the whole car this way.

This after the last step polish...30 hours later
