Car Detailing for Mitsubishi Lancer

Detailing your Mitsubishi Lancer

The Lancer kept selling in Canada long after the rest of the world moved on, partly because of the long warranty, and the ones we see are mostly young drivers' first cars with plenty of hard plastic inside. We clean that plastic with soft brushes, extract the cloth, and reach under the big rear wing on the GTS that most washes miss. A Ralliart gets an engine-bay check first. A polish and a sealant give an aging compact a second wind.

What we watch for on a Lancer

• Hard plastic surfaces throughout scratch easily and are cleaned with soft brushes and a mild cleaner
• Cloth seats on these have usually absorbed years of use and respond to hot-water extraction
• The big rear wing on GTS cars collects grime underneath
• Ralliart cars have a hood scoop and are often modified; we check the engine bay before any rinse
• Older paint is often swirled; a one-step polish and sealant make a visible difference

Compact cars: small cabins, big wear

Small cabins mean every surface is within reach of a stray coffee or a boot print, and the carpets take it all. Outside, compact cars live a hard life in parking lots and on the 401, so the lower panels collect salt and stone chips.
