    2008 Mitsubishi Lancer- Tarmac Black Pearl (Chicago)

    This was one of my good friend's cars, he asked me to do a winter prep and only a one step polish and also debage his emblems. The car was in o.k. condition, hood and trunk was a major swirlcity so i went ahead with some meguiars 105 to eliminate the deeper scratches.

    Products used:

    Wheels/Tires:
    Sonax Full Effect
    Simple Green 1:1 on tires
    Meguiars Endurance Tire Gel
    Various brushes and mitts

    Wash:
    2-bucket method
    Chemical Guys Citrus Wash
    Meguiar's wash mit

    Glass:
    Invisible Glass Foam
    Clay Magic Window Clay
    Rain-x

    Clay:
    Meguiar's QD
    Clay magic claybar

    Paint correction:
    Griots Garage DA
    Lake country 5" backing plate
    Meguiar's 105 / LC CCS Orange Pad
    Meguiar's 205 / LC CCS White Pad

    LSP:
    Blackfire Wet Diamond / LC CCS Black Pad

    Outside trim was first cleaned with Meguiar's #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner and dressed with Meguiar's #40 Vinyl and Rubber Conditioner.

    I did the job at his house and forgot my halogen lights so here are the best pictures i could get.

    Sorry no sun shots, gets dark around here quite fast now-a-days.
