Presidential Detailed: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR
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...
Exterior:
Optimum Car Wash
DD "Uber" Red Drying Towel
DD "Uber" Wool Mitt
Dual Buckets with Grit Guards
3m "green" Masking Tape
Optimum Instant Detail Spray
Adams Professional Clay Bar
P21S TAW
Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray
Menzerna 106FF/ LC CCS White Pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Tons of Uber MF Towels
Adams Window Cleaner
Black WOW
LSP:
Lusso Oro applied with Uber Foam Applicator
Interior:
1Z Einszett Capet Shampoo
1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium
Leather Masters Foam Cleaner
Leather Masters Nubuck Protector
Adams Window Cleaner
Uber All Purpose MF's
Wheels:
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
World's Greatest Boar's Hair Wheel Brush
The Wheel Well/Fender Brush
The Spoke Brush
Tools:
Dual Work Lamps
Dewalt Hi Speed Rotary
Foam Pad Cleaning Brush
DD Detail Sponge
Canon Rebel XTi
Craftsmen 295MPH Vac/Blow
Now to the pics:
EXTERIOR BEFORE:
Products used to clean wheels:
Wheels getting cleaned..
The contaminants in the paint(these were throughout the entire vehicle)
After Clay Bar..
Took the wing off to buff the trunk..
A Little P21S TAW always does the trick!
Taped up, ready to be polished..
This was the ONLY pic that turned out, it was hard to capture the swirls in a white car..
After Menzerna 106FF/Before LSP
The owner requested that I remove these stickers..
After a little heat, prying, polishing..
