Oxidized Black Escort Detailed **56k**

[blue-sun]

Last week I detailed my friends wife's black Escort for him.

Here's the process along with tons of pics:

Washed with Quick & Easy Wash
Clayed with Mothers claybar
Washed again with QEW
Paint got DACP via PC and a Meguiars Cutting Pad x 2
Topped with NXT Tech wax with a grey finishing pad

He told me that it hadn't been washed in over 2 years.

The drivers side doors and 1/4 panel had been repainted after a deer incident about 2 years ago and not touched since then.

The rest of the car was mildly swirled and badly oxidized, especially the hood.


Now, onto the pics:

Hood before:


During (left of and up to washer nossle)


More during(top part done)


Done being cleaned but not waxed


More pics to come. . .

Faded headlight


After


I wasn't able to get a true finished pic, in bright daylight, as it was dark when I was done, then it rained and Marc(my neighbor) and I have been busy.

I still need to do the inside and motor, etc.

Here's the best after shot that I've got. .
