Lincoln Cleaned & Glazed (C&B / Mini Review)

[5IVE]

So this Beauty Queen came in to get cleaned up. The owner wanted the interior, exterior and engine detailed. He didn`t want the paint polished just yet because he was going on a road trip with his family and figured he would get it done when he came back. Unfortunately, this was completed at around 9pm so I couldn`t really get any shots outdoors. Finally, I couldn`t resize these because for some reason the site I use was down :mad:

The foaming action with Meg`s APC through a foaming trigger is really cool to watch! Look at the brake dust and filth coming out of the tire.

The engine was pretty dusty as well.

The felt beneath the hood has white feathers all over it. I think this man hit a swan with this car at some point.

Not perfect, but I couldn`t do much about the permanant stains...

Now for the mini review of Meguiars`s Show Car Glaze #7...



I think that for a glaze this product did it`s thing. It did fill a significant amount of swirls and shallow scratches. These pictures are pure glaze, no wax applied. I can`t really comment on the durability since it wasn`t used on my car. I can say that it was not as hard to remove as some here have said.

My good man, I humbly thank you for my mention in your credits! Looks much better, but I`d bet you wanted to do more...much more, hehe! You sure took a few years off that engine! Glad you like the sprayers.

where can i get the foaming sprayer?

[Chris@Optimum]

Very handy for APC and Wheel Cleaners



Grainger Industrial Supply: Sprayer,Trigger 3U603 (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/productIndex.shtml?operator=keywordSearch&search_type=keyword&QueryString=foam+sprayer)

[imported_DieselMDX]

are the ones that are on sale at ADS the same basic thing?

[Chris@Optimum]

I`m not familiar with ADS. All they do is mix air with the product about an inch B4 it comes out the tip, but it`s very effective. Two small holes (one on each side) of the nozzle. Give me the website and I can confirm.

those sprayers work wonders! I used the p21s through them and it just sticks to the surface instead of dripping down or drying out. I can`t wait to polish the paint on that thing...I was tempted to just do it.

Woulda never guessed those wheels were chrome/polished on the before pics... lol
