2006 EVO 9 with 15,000km's...

[Bobjones]

I have been really lazy lately with not taking photos or posting threads, so I will post this to show the turnaround...

This car sees the track regular, and its washes poorly.
Process was wash using DP 4in1, clay using Pinnacle Ultra Poly and 4in1 as lube, paint correction due to swirls swirls and more swirls using Menzerna 3.01RD then 106FF, followed by Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant then Pinnacle Souveran, interior detail using DP Int Cleaner and PB and NXT on the Glass, the outside I used DP Glass Restorer, wheels removed and cleaned using PB wheel cleaner, innerguards cleaned and brakes using DP Ext Cleaner, and tyres dressed using PB Bold and Bright.
Befores...

Show me the swirls...

And the bugs...lotsa bugs...

The afters, well some of them, I seem to have heaps...
I also used Bowdens on the muffler, I love this stuff on Chrome...

Oh and if your wondering, the "marks" on the C pillar are actually litte clouds...

The buffed me...

The money shot...(the camera I have had trouble taking shots due to the reflection...good to see hard to takes photos of...)

Nice reflection, car looks like new again...so did you do the engine? I'd be interested on seeing the ingine.

Nice pictures too..oh the muffler looks really good.

Job well done.

Thanks for sharing.

I did do the engine, but as this is a public forum I cannot post pictures of the engine as it is currently under development, standard engine with a Garret 3071 turbo is seeing 270awkw, our track Evo 8 with a built engine and same turbo is now seeing 320awkw on pump fuel. I might try and get an old one and post that up...

Awesome work. Love the money shot!

This weekend I will be doing a SS Commodore basically a 4 door GTO is the best way to describe it, they have them in Saudi as Lumina's I think, LS2 blue metallic, and its just as bad as this, but added car yard marring and 16,000km's so 8/900miles...

 

[Truls]

Looks good.

How did you do it regarding the stickers when polishing?

 

[P1et]

Very nice work, that black looks dripping wet! Nice license plate, too!

 

[Bobjones]

I polished over the stickers, not ideal but I told him not to put them on until AFTER I did the car, I am sure there will be work to do once he removes them...

Bob, Whats pad did you use with the 106ff?

 

[Bobjones]

CCS White, with 85RD3.01 I used Orange CCS, sometimes instead of 106FF I might use 85RD with a white pad or even a grey CCS with the RO
