Mercury Sable

[Megafast13]

This was another quick detail. I did it in about 5 hours. The car was already in decent condition. By the time I was done, it was night time, so there are not that many good pictures. There was absolutely no wax or other sealants on this paint at all! but here's what I did:

Wash: NXT Tech Wax, 2 Buckets, Grit Guards, MF Wash Mitt

Clay: Smooth Surface Clay & Last Touch

Polish: SwirlX by Hand!
SwirlX did an outstanding job, A+. Plus It was by hand!

Wax: NXT 2.0 Tech Wax by hand

Final Wipe: Last Touch

Wheels: All Wheel Cleaner, Quik Wheel Detailer

Tires: Wesley's Bleche White & Brush
GC Endurance High Gloss Gel

Headlight/Taillight: PlastX by Drill and 4" Polishing Pad

Windows: Detailer Glass Concentrate & RainX

Plastic Trim: GC Trim Detailer

Engine: Super Degreaser, APC, GC Trim Detailer
--------------------------------
Interior
--------------------------------
Vacuum

Carpet/Mats: APC+

Dash/Trim: GC Vinyl & Rubber Protectant

Leather: Detailer Line Cleaner/Conditioner

The Stickers were a lot of fun!

I went through a few fingernails, APC+, and Super Degreaser!

What happened to the interior doors? What's with all the blotches?

Those were "during" shots. I had to do some intense APC+ Scrubbing to remove spots/scuffs. After I dressed the door/trim it looked fine

Thanks for comments

Re: Mercury Sable

nice work it looks fantastic, i would dress the tyres a little bit futher so as to get an even edge.

Ah.....I see.

I wasn't thinking YOU did that, but rather the owner attempted to clean the doors himself with nail polish remover.

It was outstanding. I didn't have to use much "passion" at all. It did the work

It got rid of all of those fingernail scratches and swirls. This vehicle did not have any deep scratches though.

It gave a really nice glossy LSP ready look as well.
