Mitsubishi Evo - 400 whp, CCWs, coilovers, etc. - 13 pics

[ZaneO]

I did this car a little while back, but it was time for another cleaning after a few months of some modding. It has a host of mods including upgraded turbo, intercooler, cams, exhaust, CCW SP500 wheels, coilovers, carbon fiber hood, etc.



On the interior, I started out by removing the mats and vacuuming everything in reach. I vacuumed the mats and returned them. Then I wiped down all plastics, rubber, leather, glass, etc. with Meguiar`s Interior Quick Detailer using a microfiber wash mitt. Once cleaned, I dressed the seats with Zaino Z10 Leather Conditioner and a cotton applicator.



For the exterior, I began by washing thoroughly with Griot`s Car Wash and a Eurow sheepskin mitt. Then I pulled the car into the shop and dried with a waffle weave towel. After it was completely dry, I started polishing with Pinnacle XMT 3 Intermediate Polish using a 5.5" light cutting pad via PC and speed 6. Next I polished with Menzerna PO106FF using a 6.5" polishing pad via PC and speed 5-6. After polishing, there was a little more dust than I wanted to deal with, so I washed again using Zaino Z7 soap and a Eurow sheepskin mitt. Again, I dried using a waffle weave towel and spritzed a little Zaino Z6 as I went.



At this point, I was ready to protect all that prep work, so I mixed 1 oz. of Zaino Z5 Pro with 2 squirts of Zaino Z8 and 5 drops of ZFX. I then applied 3 coats and removed each with a short-nap microfiber towel. After removing the final coat, I went over the whole car with Zaino Z8 and a plush microfiber towel. While each coat was drying, I polished the wheels with Mother`s Billet polish using rubber gloves and removing the polish with a microfiber towel. To finish everything off, I dressed the tires with Robbie`s NuGlo using a tire swipe.
