    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.

                lol you mustve read a few of my writeups. to be honest, i ran out of M205 but had an old bottle of SF4000 with enough product left to get the job done.

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

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. 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.
