Ford Mondeo 2002 Blue - A true daily driver (lots of pics!)

[Anzafin]

Hello again folks!



I really have had a "detailing summer". Car after car after car... LOL! I`m a complete amateur so it`s a big deal for me.



Well, we can not speak actually "detailing" since it`s been only paint correction jobs. Like this, my co-workers real daily driver: Ford Mondeo 2002.



He asked me to enchance the paint. Enhance, not to make it perfect. That`s why it was quite fun to work :xyxthumbs.



The process was:

1) Pre-Wash

- Korrek Lensitil BR solvent wash spray

- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam



2) Wash

- Turtle Wax Big Orange

- Two bucket method + Microfiber mitt



3) Claying

- Zaino Z-18

- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam as a lubricant (suited the job pretty well)



4) Polish

- Menzerna PO85RD 3.02 + Lake Country CCS Yellow Cutting pad / Orange Light Cutting pad

- Flex XC 3401 VRG



5) LSP

- FK1000P



6) Tyres

- AutoGlym Instant Tyre Dressing

Before everything & wash:







Autofoam in action!

After the wash:



Looks decent, right?





Oh.. holograms and stuff!





No no....









-----------------------------------------------------------------



Preparing:



Original paint.





Aha! Repainted!





What the...!?

Defects:

50/50`s:



Pretty heavy stuff was needed --> the combination of a Flex, PO85RD 3.02 and LC CCS Yellow finishes incredibly well!





Not everything could be corrected. Maybe wetsanding but I don`t do that.

For an amateur/hobbyist you do really good work.



That Mondeo is an interesting car. It looks like an overgrown Focus mixed with a Taurus/Five Hundred in the States.
