`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.:shocked

[Scottwax]

Huge improvement! :)



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

[Asonyexec]

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.

[imported_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.

[SVTContour]

:2thumbs: 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. :nervous2:

[imported_GregCavi]

Great work! Really a super transformation across the board.

Amazing what rappers can get their fans to do. I am waiting for the day when one dresses up in drag and all his fans emulate him. http://www.scottwax.com/rice/videos/smilies/kekeke```.gif
