Lincoln Mark VIII Detail Pics

[94gpse]

Here are my after pics of my 96' Mark VIII. I worked 3 1/2 hours friday, 4 hours saturday morning, 5 hours saturday night, and then finally 1 hour today with the finishing touches. I did the interior, wheels (took forever) and of course the paint. For the interior I used #39 for the dash and door panels to clean them, then I used 303 protectant. For the leather I used gold class cleaner/conditioner. For the wheels I used 3m chrome polish then a coat of NXT tech wax. Finally for the paint I used #62 for the wash, #84 with a wool pad for a cleaner, #83 with a pc for swirls and a 8006 pad, #7 for polish with the pc and a 9006 pad, then I used NXT and #26 for wax with the pc and a 9006 pad. Removed with an ultimate bonnet. There is a little dirt on the bottom of the car in the pics, sorry about that. But anyway here are the pics. The first is what the paint looked like before I started. Let me know how it looks.

Beautiful job on a beautiful car! I notice you have the HID lights? If so they are very rare for that car, a very few were made for 96 at the end. You didn't see HIDs until the 97 models.

Yup, the two rarest colors for 1996 were Cypress Gold & Desert Violet
