Detailed - 2006 EVO - Black
I do a good deal of detailing but rarely take pics... however...
A friend of mine who is a fellow detailer about an hour away enlisted my help this weekend - I took the weekend off to take a trip and the trip ended up being canceled so I was free - and he needed help to meet deadlines...
Anyways we did a 1999.5 Jetta and a EVO IX MR... I don't have the pics of the Jetta up yet... but here's the EVO...
I'll warn you now, there are quite a bit of pictures!
Process:
Menzerna PowerGloss - yellow - front end
Menzerna PowerFinish - Orange
Menzerna SuperFinish - Green
Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant - Blue
Collinites Wax - Red
Vehicle as it arrived, did say he was bringing it dirty haha
Wheels Before
Wheels After
After a full wash/degrease and clay bar, once dry, inspected the paint under the spotlights to find similar paint damage as the previous Tarmac Black Evo with 609hp.
As you can see, the paint was in desperate need of correction. The following photos are some progress shots, 50/50s, like night and day.
A quick shot of me in action - looking terrible I'll add
Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant applied via LC Blue pads
Some paint shots after the correction, spotlight pics followed by sunlight pics
Reflection shots, I took a little extra effort in the final pics this time around
Finished vehicle shots
Please enjoy and comment! A lot of hard work went into this car

Thanks for sharing man, that was quite a phucked up car you had there on your hands.
I can't beleive how much break dust that car makes, I just thought he had bronze wheels.
Good job on the correction!

That's one hell of a correction! Black cars seem to be the one where you can tell the most difference.
