Detailed my Evo... Teaser for now :D

[TripperFx3]

So its currently 1 am here in Reno and about 45 min ago I finished a 4 hour compounding/polishing session. I still have about 4-5 hours to go on top of the 4 hour polishing mentioned above and the hour I did earlier for washing/claying/interior. The car was in really bad shape having not really been touched in over a year, so thats why it's taking so long. It normally only takes me 7-9 hours to do an evo because I've done so damn many, but anyways heres just a teaser shot of my hood which I went ahead and finished to see what the finally result would be and I'm very pleased. I'll have full regular camera pics up tomorrow after shes done :D.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ya, get high res pics noob :P j/k but seriously, I can't see a lot from that :D

[lazyevo<3]

[TripperFx3]

You guys are asses... lol jk. All I had readily available was my cell phone and I was to tired to run back inside to grab the camera, but shots will be available shortly ;). Running back out to finish her now.

[shunderwunder]

It's not what ya see. It's what ya don't see. No scratches or swirls. Good job. I gotta do mine soon & it's black :(

[jamsky]

What brand of wax did you use?

[TripperFx3]

I'll be doing a full write up when I get back from the gym, but wax isn't what gives you clarity and depth to paint. Its the prep work like claying, compounding, polishing, etc. To answer your question I use 4 Star Ultimate Paint Protection (its a sealant and protects) and then for ADDED gloss and depth I use Wolfgang Fuzion (normally costs 175 a tub, but I got a STEAL of a deal on it :D)

Shunder, Black is always a bit of a pain in the ass, but a swirl/scratch free black car is its own reward :D

[jamsky]

Maybe someday you can do my Evo. LOL!

Just goes to show you, like I said before, that the depth and clarity comes from prep.

[em1toevo]

Looks super clean! Nice work Tripp.

[TripperFx3]

I can do it when I get back in town. I normally do a few cars when I get to GA.

[DragonForce]

Like the cabron fiber looking little carpet you have in the garage, clean looking Evo. The pic with you're refection with your shirt off is kind of gay, sorry.

[jktripp]

so you cannot detail my evo

[jktripp]

he was doing it just for you....:D

[TripperFx3]

I'm sure its spotless, but I'm sure I could find something wrong with it ;). One of the things that sucks about being a detailer is you see things most dont... Including your own car... lol

lol Sorry Dragonforce, but it was 90 degrees when I was detailing and I was hot as hell. Not to mention the girl that lives across the street is cute as hell and I'm trying to holler at her :D

[jktripp]

yeah, and for her too!!

[jamsky]

I got a spot now tripp. I don't know if somebody here can fix it.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

[TripperFx3]
