Morning! I already posted this in the regular Show 'n Shine section, but I would also like to enter it for the December competition. This Expedition is a one-owner vehicle which belongs to one of my buddies. Mechanically, he takes fantastic care of it. However, he proudly admits he HATES washing it. Every once in a while, it will go through a touchless carwash but that's about it. The result, after 100K miles, is extreme oxidization. Unfortunately, as you'll see in the pictures, the paint was already starting to crack. Started at 9:30am, was done around 4pm. Customer was thrilled! I celebrated with a wicked chicken korma!!! 1) Throw up at the sight of the paint! 2) Wash with strong DG shampoo and white ShMITT 3) Clay with Clay Magic Blue 4) SIP/M105 on orange CCS with Flex on 5 5) Wash with DG shampoo and white ShMITT 6) DG 105 7) P21S (original) 8) Last Touch wipe down - All plastic treated with Poorboys Natural Look - Tires cleaned with ARO, dressed with Nascar Tire Dressing/Adam's VRT - Wheels cleaned with Megs Wheel Brightner - Chrome polished with P21S Metal Polish Upon arrival... Look at, I was nervous at this point... That's grey, not black... Whilst claying, not that comtamimed surprisingly... Yes, that is after washing it... No reflection whatsoever... This is after the first hit of 105/SIP on the orange pad... Seems to work! You can actually see a reflection again... And after some hours later... I gave it a Last Touch wipe down right before the customer picked it up. Hoep you guys enjoyed this one! I know I did... Cheers! P1et
Oh Ya, I remember this one. I liked It then and I still like It now. Beautiful Just Beautiful...:thumb: I just read a rule change. It states that no fords will be allowed, Sorry...:giggle:
P1et..great job. I can't believe that with just one step (orange pad and SIP or 105) that it finished down that well. Good for you! That had to save some time, especially on a big beast like that. He definitely wouldn't recognize his truck.
When I saw the condition of the truck and the owner said he only wanted a one-step, I had to bring out the big guns and be able to finish down nicely at the same time. I am and always be impressed by SIP and 105, it finished down so nicely... I am sure that 85RD on a white pad would have made it even nicer though!
Damn P1et, I don't think I can compete with your entry, LoL! Your work and your photography are really amazing. Plus it's a black vehicle and oftentimes that's hard to beat!
