  • 2004 ford expedition eddie buffer trail edition

    ok so here is my detail on the expedition, here are some before pictures, mind you this is after a wash, and yes i did buy the truck in this condition but i was able to talk the dealer down because i told him it needed a repaint.

    after wash, out in the sun at 9 am





    so my process was wash the car with nxt shampoo
    next clay the entire car because it had overspray from the repair on the side door.
    PC with megs 83 with lc orange pad
    PC with m09 with white pad
    PC with m07 show car glaze (to protect new paint)
    PC to put 2 coats of nxt 2.0 for protection
    tomorrow for curiosity i might put some hi tech yellow wax on top to see if i notice a difference

    before i post the afters some notes:
    So i bought the clay today and it came with a supreme shine microfiber towel, I had never used one as i just use the target microfibers... Holy cow the difference is amazing between the two, If I was a little baby and i got ahold of the supreme shine towel, id be like linus from the peanuts comic strip, I told me wife that for my birthday she has to get me like 10 of these.

    The car came out 90% corrected, I needed something stronger than 83 for the RIDS, and some of the scratches, but honestly its a daily driver, as long as it looks good from 5 feet thats all i care about.

    Tomorrow i am going to work on the interior, and ill add those shots to this thread.

    so without further ado,
    The afters:

      Very nice... dramatic improvement!!

      Yes, you are correct about the microfibers, all are not created equal. I have tons of Meguiars Supreme Shines and couldn't be happier with them... I also have some even higher quality towels depending on the towel they ranged from $3-$6 EACH! I will say they are very good towels but for the money you can't beat Meguiars towels!!

      I like the title eddie 'buffer trail edition' :lol

        Awesome work!

        Incredible results for only using a DA Polisher.

            Awesome work!

            I've been trying to tell you guys about the Supreme Shine towels... they may look "plain" and lack the trendy names and colors and uber fluffiness of the other boutique towels- but when it comes to doing what they are intended to be doing they are the best I have used.

            (To clarify, the applications I am referring to are removing product or wax)

                I too know the feeling of the hard Ford CC. That is about the best I have been able to do on my Mustang as well with M83. Now that I have some Ultimate Compound, I think my problem is solved. May try some of that next time around!

                Dramatic results and great work!

                      Haha, I got a laugh out of the headline of your post. When I first read it, I just glanced at it, "Eddie Bower Trail addition", blew right by it, then later I saw it again and clicked it, saw the shape it was in and then chuckled, "Eddie Buffer Trail addition" you did a great job to that thing, hats off to you, nice work!

                      How many hours do you have in polishing it out?

                              WOW! From your before pictures I couldn't even tell what color that was supposed to be, I thought it was some strange brown color. The finished job sure looks great.
