This nice example of an Evo IX came in for an enhancement detail, engine bay freshen up and interior clean.

On arrival.

The headlights were starting to fade so these were rectified first.

After.

Wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned with Auto Finesse Imperial, Verso and Iron Out.
Engine bay was treated with Verso.

The car was then blanketed in Avalanche snow foam. While that was softening the surface dirt, all the rubbers and tight areas were agitated with hog hair brushes.

All tar and iron fallout was removed prior to claying. A final wash down and taken inside.
