2006 Black Ford Explorer, Trashed Interior/Exterior, many pics

[Alex Boyce]

This vehicle was in need of some major TLC. I spent about 10 hours on it total, and wish I had more time with it. Only performed a one step polish so the goal was not to be swirl free but to restore gloss to the car.

So time to turn on some music and get to work!

Wheels getting some love

Car was then foamed

Pretty easy to see there is no protection to be found on the car.

Then I grabbed some clay

And some Born Slippy

And went to work

Which gave me a finish like this.

Grabbed some products to test a 1 step polish, decided on M205 and LC white pads.

Continue around car

The rear door was HORRIBLE!

That's better!

Another comparison

Grabbed some blackfire and applied it.

Got the Mytee up and running and hit the interior.

Yuck

Interior glass was very dirty as well

50/50 on the leather, it cleaned up nicely.

Exterior afters!

Thanks for looking! Any questions let me know!
