This past weekend My younger brother and I spent 20hrs detailing my new expedition.
It's a 99 XLT with almost 170K the paint was in serious need of paint correction.
The wheels were brown and caked with brake dust.
The chrome I thought was gonna be an issue but thankfully all the staining polished out.
I didn't get many "before" shots and no interior shots (cause I HATE the cloth seats)
Products used:
Optimum No Rinse (ONR) mixed with a little Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash.
Eagle One A2Z Wheel Cleaner (My goto Aluminum Wheel Cleaner)
Wenol Soft Cut Metal Polish (Absolutely FANTASTIC Polish!!)
Turtle Wax Claybar and Clay Lube (the ONLY Turtle Wax product I've EVER liked)
Meguiars Ultimate Compound (my goto cut/finish compound)
Meguiars NXT Tire Shine Gel (Tires, Bumpers and Running Boards)
Ardex PRT (Plastic Rubber Trim) Restorer (Rubber window trim and outside plastic handles)
303 Aerospace Protectant (Dash, Doors and Interior Plastics)
Invisible Glass
Griot Garage DA W/ 6.5" Smart Tech Blue Cutting Pads (used 6)
4" Griot Garage Cutting Pads (for thinner sections on paint) (used 2)
The first pic is the day I bought it
The rest are after we finished (2AM!!)
Let me know what you think.
