Yes!! Len_A actually does detail cars. Here's proof (LOL!!)! It my wife's 2002 Ford Escape XLT, color Ford calls Satin Silver.
Photos here!! Finally fixed the darn link!!
Even though I detailed this as soon as my wife bought it last October (Meguiar's No. 20), I decided that, since I was BORED, that it need it's 12,500 mile detail job.
After washing with Gold Class Shampoo, I went over all the exterior plastic with Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer. That actually took longer than polishing the paint! All that plastic body cladding, the mirror housing, the luggage rack, the door handles, the step bars (except the actual step parts), all the rubber trim around the door windows & windshield, the rain gutters on the roof, and rear hatch trim.
I broke out the PC, and the Lake Country/CMA pads, and went over the paint one panel at a time with No. 9 2.0 with a white pad, wiping them down with a microfiber cloth, and then got out the dark grey pads, and went over the whole truck's paint with Meguiar's No. 20 Poly Sealant, and with the second grey pad topped the No. 20 with Medallion Premium Paint Protection, just for the heck of it.
I detailed the tires with Endurance High Gloss, and used some old (and very oily) Armor All tire dressing to detail the wheel housings. All the wheels were waxed with No. 20. I sprayed the black grill with No. 40 and blew out the excess with compressed air. Then I wiped down all the exterior plastic with a dry cotton terry cloth to take off the excess Trim Detailer.
After I finished that, I broke out yet another microfiber cloth, and the FI, and wiped down the paint. The glass got cleaned with Turtle Wax ClearVue and another microfiber cloth (you can't have too many!!).
I'm wiped and heading for the shower!! Whatcha y'all think?
