how many dents and dings do u have on ur evo?
I got 2 tiny rock dings in the front of the hood and 2 small scratches on the side of the rear bumper.. I have some paint bubbling on the fender lip above the rear tires.. passenger side is pretty bad actually. 05' with 53,000 miles. I hope it rotts to **** within the next year and a half so Mitsubishi can repair it under the 7 year sheetmetal warranty!

Griots paint sealer
so i got this today and tried it out lil bit (cus its 5degree here in Mi)...so far it works pretty well on light scratches, scuff and swirl mark... all the scratches pretty much disapear. next time i will try to buff with the machine using this product to see if it could remove deeper scratches ( scratches that u can here lil clicking noise when u use the tip of ur nail to feel it).
I hate the area I live in I have no dents or dings but ppl around here are just plain as*holes. I went to a store to get some work boots let the car in a parkinglot that was EMPTY not one car expect mine I came back and a shopping cart was on my rear bumper. And it scratched it bad so I had to go out a pick up a jdm rear haha
I'm glad the product is working out for you, but please don't buff anything quite yet. Which buffer do you have? Which pads do you have access to? How much buffing experience have you had?

i dont have that much of experience bout buffing but my friend does.... he works for the body shop in my town for like 5 years so hes gonna help me and tell me what stuff should i get
To give an example, jugging by your car's description it would take someone like me about 10 hours to polish your paint to a better-than-new state via a 2-step or a 3-step process, depending. Something called polishing/buffing can take an hour or two in a body shop. It all depends on the level of finish you're after. Good luck.

^^^ Lots of great polishing tutorials there, links to videos, product recommendations...everything you'd need.
