Ok guys, so last weekend i did a full detail on a good friends of mine 2003 T-Bird so he could sell it. The car is originally from Texas and when it came up here it was never driven in the winter on snow/ice. The only real concerns he had were water spots on the car which i suspect came from the salt water engulfed Houston, Texas as well as some scratches etc. Anyway, heres my Process as well as a handful of pics, majority of the pics were inside and the few that were outside after finished were unfortunately in cloudy conditions.
Wash:
Prep:
Correction:
LSP (wax/sealant)
Interior (includes trunk)
Under-hood
Exterior (all non painted surfaces)
I think that's the majority of the process, im sure there's some small stuff im missing but regardless, heres some before, during and after pics.
Before:
During:
UC and 205 on Hood, only UC on bumper cover, notice difference in flake and pop after 205!
Finished:
Needless to say, my parents ended up buying the car after i detailed it, so now i can spend even more time and really finesse the car to make it PERFECT as its another vehicle in our garage now!
Next time we get the car out in the sun i will post more pics as well as trunk and under-hood pics as i realize now i totally forgot those!
