DetailedByPrecision: 2013 Evo X bought used from dealer with enoromous amount of isolated scratches and rock chips. SF Bay Area Auto Detailing
This job was a referral from a car I did previously. They are good friends and work together at the same job. The customer now a friend of mine bought the Evo X from a used car dealership and noticed a lot of scratches and rock chips. He contacted me and we got together in person to inspect the car and talk about the options and my approach to address the issues. I suggested to him to buy the touch up paint from the dealership ahead of time to be prepared ahead of schedule. He dropped off his car and it was time for me to get to work.
Working on exhaust tips, compound in cracks and crevices before washing

Whole car was averaging around low 60's microns..... I had to be extra careful when I was polishing some of those isolated scratches out.

Total time: 13 hrs
What I learned from this job:
Always do a walk around the whole car before performing any work. Never know what you might find. In this case, the whole car was polished by dealer before it was sold
I'm not sure if Mitsubishi's paint quality is on the low side or too much polishing by previous work resulted in very low paint readings
Paint hardness was on the medium side
Thanks for viewing for those who made it this far. Appreciate comments and questions are welcomed. I had a lot of fun working on this car.

Nice work man! I always do a couple initial walk arounds as well and assess in my head what needs to be done and the steps I will take.
Again, great work!

That was the best, easiest to see the result, detailing write up ever
Having the before and after pictures clustered in pairs was the best way to show the results of each individual type of problem I have ever see on here.
Really liked the close up detail pictures of the wax removal from the textured plastic and the deep crevices.
And the Evo turned out fantastic too.
