Nice work, Mannyl312! Did you use anything on the trim, or running boards?
It's been too cold over here in PA to do much of anything to my vehicles. Today it got up to a nice, balmy, 30*! So we were outside, chipping ice and shoveling snow to clear out some parking spots.

Looks great!

My DD is a 2001 Expedition. I'm interested in how and what you did with the top (those little drain channels). Still haven't done the top of mine (PC).

Thanks for the comments guys, the top channels I did it by hand but that area was only polished and waxed, didn't use compound over there, was pretty good, and the trims I Put Dressing but After the pics I was in a hurry to catch the last bit of sunlight was getting dark already.

I'm so glad I got OC, it's something slightly stronger than XMT3 and I really needed something like that.

With that said, did you use a yellow pad with OC? I've noticed much more micromarring with OC than XMT3, and was wandering if you did the same? Also, what pad did you then use with XMT1? I've used orange Edge pad with XMT1 after OC/yellow pad, and it's been semi-tough to get out the OC marring. then again, it might just be too cold right now for it to break down correctly.

Did you notice any hiding abilities with the XMT glaze IF there were still any imperfections after polishing?

BTW, the pics look AMAZING!
