PAINT CORRECTION IS MY SPECIALTY

And this built Mitsubishi Evolution deserved the best. The client wanted the car to look as best as possible at an upcoming car show. The glossiest of the glossy. And what the client wants, the client gets. We schedule a full paint correction detail and I immediately got to work.



Before starting the paint correction process the car was full washed, clayed, deironized, then taped off to protect the trim from being damaged during the process. Here we see the hood of the vehicle before starting correction.

And below you see the potential of the vehicle at its finest. Fully corrected and detailed the right way. Swirls removed and luster has been restored.

Here are some pictures after finishing the full detail and correction. These pictures are taken prior to applying any coating or wax. No Photoshop,’ smoke & mirrors’, or filler waxes used here. What you see is what you get.

Another successful detail by Xclusive Autoworks. The luster had been restored to this built Evo through extensive paint correction and a lot of effort on my part.
