I did a polish/protectant job this weekend on my car and it turned out great. I use products by Wizards which were recommended to me by my brother who does body/paint work for a living. Here are some stats on the car...

2003 VIII owned by me off the show room floor for 2.5 years/45,400 Miles
Driven every day in since I got it. (Wisconsin winters as well)
No dents....seriously
...and...it's still Red, including the mirrors.

I'm just bragging a bit because it goes to show that if you take care of a Red car it will stay red

 

Very clean!! I used to have an 03 RR and mine didnt look like that at all

 

I wish my rally red look like that.

 

Looks good great job maintaining it.

 

Thanks a lot

 

My 03 RR was in great shape as well (not the drivetrain though). It just takes a little work and only hand washing. Lookin' good!

 

envy, i love the all carbon wing. want to do that to mine soooooo bad!!!

 

Nice spot....most people think it's just black from a distance

 

looks great!!! cheers to you for knowing how to take car of your evo!

 

Hope mine looks good as new from years from now on. GJ keeping evo like that.

 

just got finished doing the same thing this morning... looks soooooo goood.

 

very nice!

 

very nice job on keeping in clean, thats really whats its all about and you definitely did a nice job

props brah

 

Looks like I've seen this car or it was another one exactly like this one down here in IL

 

Mitsubishi paint really needs to be taken care of properly. Plenty of washing, clay-barring occasionally and waxing will do wonders.

Having a garage and a daily driver helps as well.
