Auto Obsessed Detail - 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

[AutoObsessed]

Auto Obsessed performed a decontamination wash and single stage polish to this 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. The wheels, wheel wells, doorjambs, and exhaust were detailed with a host of OBSSSSD Premium Products. The paintwork underwent a single stage paint correction to improve the paintwork while staying within a strict time limit. We then finished the vehicle in OBSSSSD Paint Seal. OBSSSSD Paint Seal Final Protectant is the perfect sealant to protect a daily-driven vehicle in all weather conditions. OBSSSSD Paint Seal has been engineered to provide an exceptionally deep, wet-looking shine for months while protecting from harsh road salts, oxidation, and detergents.
