Hi all, occasionally at the weekends i detail my friends cars for them but as i have been getting better people have been asking who cleaned there car for them so they give them my name and this time i ended up with a gorgeous Mitsubishi Evolution FQ400 in White to detail.
I started of in the interior then moved on to the bodywork, i ended up getting the bonnet and one front wing done before all of a sudden my polisher shut of, looked around to see all the lights had gone of, so power cut, this was at about 1 o'clock. Thought it would just be a little one but ended up being a hour gone by :confused: Ended up finding out that a Ferrari had crashed into a pylon and took out the electricity to the unit :furious: Was really gutted as i wanted to get the car done before the owner came down to surprise him, anyway while the power was off i ended up cleaning every single bit i could get to, door seals, boot and engine bay.
The bay still needs some metal polish on the chiller pipes but ill be going back tomoz to hopefully finish it :nod:
Its very well looked after as i thought my car was clean but this blows my car away even with being white :mad:, its made me want one as well as I've always liked this shape Evo and to see one in this condition is quite rare these days.:smitten:
I took a few photos of the car before i started so hope you all like and please leave comments :thumbs:
