Fun detail job

New client, best part got to pickup the car and drive it to the house Fast as hell, BUT! Doors rattle, not refined at all, CHEAP interior, but did I mention FAST AS HELL? Also, handled quite well around the S curve to my house. Seemed on par with the 8 except I didn't feel like I could stay on line quite as easy. Close though, and maybe I am just use to my car. I would love to have one to mess around in but daily driving I without a shadow of a doubt made the right decision with the 8. Much more car. Just need to get that turbo or supercharger worked out This is a 2003. Sad to say its never seen a coat of wax

Did a 4 1/2 hour job inside and out, paint is slick as glass and he had never seen his reflection in it like he did today. Really surprised with the interior because it seemed to be holding up more like a 8 year old car vs a two year old car.

Very true. Look in the corners in certain shots and you can see a bit of the shine and reflection but difficult. If you look at the rear shot you can see how the Lancer Evolution reflects on the bumper to get an idea how the whole car turned out.

Still waiting on strakes and rotary accents. As far as clear corners, i like the amber on Nordic Green. Also a shot of the Caddy I detailed.
