Hello everyone hes a job i did friday and saturday. This truck belongs to my coworkers sister. I keep telling people that this truck had enough bird crap and mud to fertalize my back yard with. it was in every crack and crevice you could imagine. Speaking of which why did Ford make this truck have so many hidden spots and hard to clean areas :shead: anyways im falling asleep and its almost 2am here so ill finish the write up 2morrow Well as the title says its a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with only 42,000 miles and it was bought new. I have no clue how some parts of the truck got how they are but when it was dropped off i was told to do what i could with it. I would have liked some parts like the hood and the plastic trim on the bottom of the truck to have been in better condition but what can you do. The hood has some pretty deep RIDS and on those the clearcoat is starting to peel back. They weird thing about this truck is that theres a minimum amount of swirls from what i could see while outside. I would have liked to get the paint looking better that I did, but like i was told i did the best i could. so here it is enjoy.

Heres wut washed off the brush after the above part After the wash and clay: I dont even recall where i found this but if i took a picture of it, that probably mean it was somewhere it normally shouldn't be. When claying I found this. Apparently sometime in this trucks life it had be waxed. poorly yes but at least they tried. My little brother helping me wax while i applied sealant to the hood to protect it more as it needed it very badly. after buffing off the CG's M-seal I was so tempted to polish out these swirls, but i couldnt The rest of the afters: I think thats all the pics for now all comments are welcome :thumb:
