Very Dirty 06 Fusion

I just put on a coat of poorboys natty's 2 days ago and this is how dirty the car got in the 24 mile round trip to base. The roads here in England are horrible. I put on 2 applications of AIO and 3 layers of SG a few months ago in preparation for winter. The interior was looking pretty bad too, I get a lot of mud on my combat boots while at work so I needed to do some spot cleaning on the inside. Here are the before pics.





Dirty Floormats before cleaning.

Washed using 2 bucket method.
Meguiars GC Shampoo
Chenille mitt and pinnacle bug & tar sponge
Simple Green wheel cleaner on wheels
Meguiars Plastic Detailer on headlights and tail lamps
AIO on grill
Bissel little green machine on interior floormats
Wiped down interior surfaces with microfiber

For those of you who ever end up washing a fusion, the grill has an unlimited water supply, IT NEVER STOPS DRIPPING!
A little history on the car, it was custom ordered through military sales and devlivered to me here in England, I requested that it never get washed to avoid swirl marks and they honored that request. It was delivered to me swirl free and dirty. I immediately drove it home, washed it, clayed it, and applied its first application of the Klasse twins. Since then it has been washed by hand by me and only me and it still doesn't have a mark on it except for a few small rock chips.
Here are the afters.

Good G-d man, that is one dirty car! Good thing you put the sealant and Natty's Blue on it. Hopefully it will clean up easily. I hope you have a Schmitt!

I must have been replying while you were posting the afters! What a great turn around! Looks great now!

What is that small red light in the back?

Very nice detail brother! Love that interior work. Highly overlooked in my opinion.

I really like that new car. My wife is wanting one here in the US.
