Here I go, my first picture posting thread, white `92 Probe

**pin** · 06-12-2005, 05:44 PM

This is my 1992 oxford white Ford Probe LX. I know I have a long way to go to reaching perfection, but I just took these pictures and I decided to share them. Everything I`m about to list is applied by hand, and I have to wash the car without a hose.

- Meguiar`s ScratchX

- Meg`s PlastiX

- Meg`s Gold Class Endurance tire gel(applied a few washes ago, tires and wheels getting changed soon)

- Tarminator

- Eagle One Wet wash

- EO A2Z Tire and Wheel Cleaner

- Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss paste wax - one layer applied yesterday

- S100 paste wax applied an hour ago

- Turtle Wax Ultra Detailer used before and after the S100

I haven`t used the ScratchX very much yet, and it will be quite obvious due to the swirl marks on the hood.

Gotta love that orange peel. I know the tires and wheel wells need attention. :p

I have a 1993 SHO in Oxford White. Don`t worry, its pretty easy to make shine.

Also, I`m sure the Probe is the same, but if it helps, Oxford White was single stage paint. It`s a really hard paint.

Here`s a reflection shot of mine. It was taken in the early afternoon under a tent.

White isn`t nearly as bad as some folks seem to think it is. I have managed to make white look rather nice on the few occasions I`ve detailed it. Here`s an 03 Pontiac Aztek (yeah, yeah, make jokes) I did for a customer:

Just polished with DACP, and laid down Meg`s #20 on it.

Hey, another SHO owner!

Have you been to www.shoforum.com ?

If not you should, lots of great info and people there, been there since 2001.

Mine`s a 1995 Red MTX, one of 2,036 made in `95, and only 57,000 miles. Shines Like a New dime.

Pin - Nice job, always liked the Probes. With a little work you`ll have that paint smooth and swirl free. Welcome to the obsession!

Yeah, I don`t post too often, but i`ve read the site for about three years. I have the same name there. I post a lot more on a local SHO board, www.shopower.com

Wow, I just verified that my paint has no clear coat. I might have to adjust my strategy for dealing with these scratches. Hmm..thanks for the heads up.
