    Big "A" Detailing 05 EVO 8 MR GG Halogen Correction + Ronnie C. Photography

    this detail was to remove the swirls & most of the deep scratches in 2 steps. the Evo 8 MR is going in for major surgery in the winter so this is just to get through the rest of the summer & the fall.
    the sides & hood were in great shape. the roof & trunk were the only areas that needed a little extra love. i decided to put the car under the halogens & work the paint out for a little bit more time than if i was just working under the shop fluorescents. i made sure all the swirls were removed with just a few deep scratches here & there that remain. you really cant see them because of the color & the new glow the paint has now.

    an outline for my work:

    Makita 9227 c rotary

    roof & trunk =
    orange pads + Meguiars M105 Compound
    everything else =
    green pads + Meguiars M105 Compound
    blue pads + Menzerna SF4000 Polish

    Protection = 2 layers of Prima Epic Sealant

    wheels = washed, clayed + Collinite 73SS Super Saphire Cleaner Wax
    tires = Adrex Outrageous
    exhaust can = #0000 steel wool + Ardex Pure Metal
    head & tail lights = clayed, Makita + orange + M105 + blue + SF4000 + Epic
    rain guards = clayed, makita + green + M105 + blue + SF4000 + Epic
    glass = clayed

    yes sir, mercury pro. they are the best bottles ive ever used. def worth the $ & they just work awsome.
    ill try to explain how they work...

    reg spray top = as you squeeze it sprays. nothing on the release.
    kwazar top = as you squeeze it sprays, on the release it sprays again.

    Nice work once again Andrew. The car looks amazing, especially your "money shot".

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
