Here is my 2012 Lancer before Winter. Cannot wait for the good weather to get the car shining again!

Here are some pics:








The process:

- Presoak with a foam gun
- Decon wash (2 bucket method of course)
- Clay bar
- Polished some areas that had noticeable scratches/swirls
- Sealed
- 2 coats of wax

I was running low on time (borrowed a garage) so I did not get to do a full polish, or glaze the vehicle. With better weather coming, ill be sure to fix that!

Edit:

Bonus shot of what I cannot wait for it to look like again. Stupid salt...




The above was after a clay, wax, and glaze. VRT on all plastics and tires.

 

Very nice.... Post some sun shots!

 

After next wash, sure!

I just did a 2012 red lancer gt with a full polish. I have plenty of shots of that I can post if interested.

 

Great will wait for the pics. By the way what brand of sealant and wax did you use?

 

I currently use Adams Sealant and a combination of Adams Buttery Wax along with Americana.
They can be found at Adam's Polishes Canada or Adam's Premium Car Care - Cleaners, Waxes and Polishes Made in the USA depending on if you order from Canada or the states.
