  • 2001 Ford Expedition

    2001 Ford Expedition, has a little over 130,000 miles on the clock. I heavily clayed it with Red clay and waxed it with M66 last year, so it just needed a good wash and another coat of sealant.

    The owner is debating whether or not he wants to trade it in for something new, so he wanted it to look presentable in case he ended up just selling it on the spot.

    I cleaned the wheels, tires, and wheelwells with All Purpose Cleaner and various brushes.

    The truck was then washed with my very last bit of NXT Generation Car Wash. Bugs were treated with Body Solvent and a dedicated wash mitt.

    Tires were dressed with All Season Dressing and the fenderwells were dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.

    I then waxed the paint by hand with #20 - Polymer Sealant and followed that with an application of #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer.

        Hard to believe it has that many miles on it. The Expedition looks fantastic.
        quality creates its own demand

                  Looks great!

                  What dilution of APC got those wheels that clean? How long did you allow it to dwell on the wheels?

                    Thanks,

                    I used it at 10:1. I also used various brushes with Deep Crytsal Car Wash, I would imagine I could have gotten them just as clean with the soap solution.

                    I let the APC dwell for about thirty seconds.
