03 Mercury Marauder - First C&B..be gentle

[robsvt]

So i kinda got into this with my own car, and my mom asked if i would do her car. A beautiful black 2003 Mercury Marauder. It had some swirling that was really bugging her so i said i`ll give it a shot. First time using a PC. I like the way it came out, and she`s very happy with it.



Sorry, no before pictures.



The whole car got washed, clayed, intensive polished, final polished, glazed, and a coat of FMJ. I really like the finished product it put out. :buffing: And it wasnt that hard to work with which i was really happy about.

I just had to laugh at this picture.:chuckle:



VERY ice work! You mom has a heck or a ice car and it looks perfect now.

[AP2TUDE]

Looks good.



I would be sure to include the before shots in your next C&B. Although it doesn`t detract from the overall final project, it makes your work that much more impressive to see the total transformation.

eimann fabrik black saphire on the tires.



Thanks for the compliments. I was really happy that it came out so well.



It took me a full 3 day weekend, but that was with a lot of A.D.D. time, i think actually work time was around 14-16 hours start to finish. She was out of town, so i could take my time on it. And it was hot a hell in the garage in the summer here in miami. So i took plenty of breaks for water and fluids.
