'98 Expedition

[mose]

I did a '98 Expedition this weekend. Black of course!! LOL!! When I picked it up on Friday night all the husband would say is "good luck". I told him that he would/should be impressed and surprised when I brought it back on Sunday. He just smiled and said "good luck". He and the wife both were ecstatic when I dropped it off! She was jumpin' around and was very happy with the way it turned out! Even the husband was impressed, which I fould out later isn't something that happens easily! They asked me to detail their Honda next. I will post about it when it's done!!

My process was:

Wash w/dawn
Clay all paint, chrome and glass w/Megs Clay and DP lube
Dry with leaf blower. (Not that it mattered as swirled as thing was)
Polished w/PB SSR 2.5 and CCS yellow pads
Finishing polish was done with PB SSR1 and then KAIO w/CCS white pads
2 coats of KSG
Follow up Sunday morning with DG AW

Interior:
Vaccumed
Stain removal was with Folex
Wiped down w/APC and treated with DP Protectant

Wheels and Tires:
Pulled off vehicle
Degreased w/Megs DG
Insides were clayed
Inside and outside were waxed w/Megs GC paste

Engine:
Cleaned w/Megs DG and APC
Dressed w/ Megs HD

As always, any comments are welcomed!!

Awesome work man. Looks brand new. No wonder she was so excited.

Huge improvement!

Those befores look like every single 1st generation Expidition I have ever done. Ugh.

Nice works...I like the before & afters. I'll never understand why SUV owners put those low profile tires on trucks. I guess since MTV says it's a cool thing to do then it's cool LOL - I'll opt for the smoother ride you get with the appropriate sized tire thx.

I totally agree! It definately affected the ride! Plus they were a B!TCH to pick up and put back on the vehicle!! LOL!! Gettin' too old for this sh!t!! LOL!!

Nice work mose. The engine compartment was filthy looking. Great job getting that thing cleaned up.

[Lightman]

nice work! I'm surprised all it took was ssr 2.5 via pc (I'm assuming it was via pc?) to get those swirls out.

Hat's off just for getting that much square footage of paint into shape. My mom-in-law has an identical car and I ain't touching that thing.
