This is a 98' Crown Victoria. Owner bought it used a couple of months ago and the used car lot installed the holograms I assume when they cleaned it to put it on the lot. It also had moderate swirling and lots of marring from what seemed to be from carless washing in its 7 year life. Fortunatly, most were not that deep. The paint did however have what seemed to be acid rain etching that would not come out. You will be able to see all the *little* specs in the pics.



Process: washed and clayed, polished with OCP and a Meguiars burgandy cutting pad.

Also polished with the Cyclo w/ orange pads, and some areas were followed with

OCP and a polishing pad, Vehicle topped with OCW. Tires got Z-16



Interior: Everything got Costco's APC 10:1, carper extracted with heated extracter, Leather got Z-10 leather conditioner.



Befores: The horizontal lines are the holograms. Please excuse the poor pics as lighting was not the best as I did this detail late afternoon into the night.

Good work there my friend. Black isn't so tough to deal with once you show it who's boss. Actually I think working on Black cars really brings out your skills cause you can see everything you did and didn't do.



No hiding.
