Presidential Detailed: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

[Presidential_Detail]

Alex (boostedej25 here on TR) came to me with this car wanting a "basic" exterior and a interior detail. I thought I was going to have it easy, you know one-step on white...I was in for a little surprise.. This car looked clean for a few feet away, come closer and you will see rail dust and contaminants ALL throughout the cars paint. I spent most of the day clay baring this car, because I knew I would only be one-stepping it and it needed to be prepped very well to get it to "Presidential" standards. I just finished the exterior about an hour ago, I will be working on the interior tomorrow morning...
