2000 Ford Lighting

Het guyz, well th eweather finally cleared up and I finally got to detail a car. And boy was it a job. This was for a friends dad, he is selling it so he wanted it to look good. By the way if anyone is interested, he is selling it for only $15,000, its something like #76 on the SVT roster, only 80,000 miles on for over a seven year period, I mean he babies this thing, this finish is a hell of alot better after I got it, but it could use a paint job, still I know how wanted that truck is and how hard it is to find one, so if anyone is interested let me know. Anyway, this truck was a mess, yes he babied it but, didn't really care for the paint that much. It was covered in swirls and marring, but I got about 90% of them out. Here is what I did and used.

Washed: NXT and Cobra Bone, Purple Power as an APC.
Clayed: Sonus
Polish: Megs. #83 and an Orange Edge Pad, I was really amazed with this stuff, hadn't used it in while due to the excessive amounts of dust, but this stuff cuts quickly and finish with light marring. I finished with ssr 1 and white edge pad, both on 5.
Wax: PB Natty's Blue, 1 coat.
Wheels: DP Wheel Glaze and Megs. Hot Shine/Amorall Tire Gel combo.
Windows: DP Glass Polish Restorer and a yellow spot buff pad on a corded drill and Stoners IG
Trim and under fenders: Ardex Speedy Brightner
Inside: Megs #40, Woolite/water for carpet and suede, Stoners IG on glass.

It took about eight hours, I had to come back the next day for pics.
Check it out.

The Results















By the way this is why he is selling it.


Yep, 2007 Ford Saleen F-150, this truck is bad ass, 5.4 with a supercharger, saleen suspension, and 23! inch tires, those things are bigggggggggg. This is my new dream truck.

Nice work !! The lightning is my favorite truck. (Actually the only truck I like, I am NOT a truck guy) Hopefully he sells it for more since it looks AMAZING!

What a turnaround! Awesome work! After using Megs #83, did you fine yourself rewashing the truck? #83 is an awesome product, but the only thing I hated about it was the dust! 90% of the time after using #83, I had to rewash.
