2000 Ford Lightning detail

[1 Clean WS6]

Hello all!!



Ya just gotta love these trucks!! Where else can you buy a vehicle that can tow 5K-7K pounds and still run mid 13`s in the quarter mile bone stock??:xyxthumbs This particular "L" belongs to a great client of mine. It`s a 2000 with about 43K on the odometer and unlike the `01 that I detailed last month this sucker is anything but stock. I`m not sure how much boost he is running but with a pair of slicks out back it`s enough to propel this 4,600 pound behemoth down the 1320 in the LOW 12 second range!!:bow The detail was a simple wash with Meg`s Gold Class shampoo and wax with Meg`s NXT. I had polished this truck out in April using Meg`s #83 and the owner did an exceptional job of keeping the swirls and scratches out since then. The truck is not a daily driver and is garaged so that helped as well. Below are a few pics of the detail.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:

Looks good but im not a good fan of the Red ford emblem :down

my buddy owns a ford f150 and there`s a way you can get that ford emblem to resemble brushed aluminum, but i dont know how he did it:nixweiss

THANK YOU all for the very kind words!!



Jay I am pretty sure you can buy brushed aluminum emblems for these trucks from places like UPR.



I agree with you 100% Pats300zx. I have to say that of all the color paints I`ve used NXT on that red is turning out to be my favorite color for that product.
