Most rally inspired road cars are designed to take quite a bit of physical abuse, both internally & externally. Unfortunately for many though, their exteriors are not as protected as they could (or should) be, and the paint is left to take a beating when a bit of spirited driving goes down. Whether it’s from rocks kicking off the tires on a gravely sprint, or simply making the mistake of running your daily rallier through an automated car wash, tough love requires quite a bit of TLC to recondition.

When this Lancer Evo came to us, its paint had seen better days. Judging from the surface conditions, it seemed like this little electric blue beast had been competing in a few special stages of the WRC, but more than likely it was subject to the harsh reality of a robot trying to clean properly. Utilizing the soft touch and care only a human can provide, we began the Enthusiast Detail with our signature 24-step hand wash.

It was pretty easy to see that this Evo would be making quite the recovery, even if it was only receiving 2 stages of paint correction. The clear coat on the carbon spoiler was heavily swirled & scratched, and just about every painted surface on the car looked like it may have been attacked with a Brillo pad.

With the paint protection all buttoned up & the Evo looking a little more lively thanks to an Enthusiast Detail, we positioned her outside as the night set in & snapped a final shot under the street lights. Even for vehicles with as much surface damage as this one, a little can go a long way, and it just goes to show how much of an improvement proper car care can make.
