Expedition detailed with 3M Products

[Speed6 Guy]

Well did a full polish on my wife’s Expedition.

I used the 3M product line like I always do and here is how it came out.

These are the before pictures.















Here are the after polish pictures.













And here are the final pictures.

That looks good, so you used 3M huh. I haven't used 3M products but that looks good. I know Toto uses lots of 3M products, looks though that he's going away from them.

Results are good, I like the reflection. Black is one of the hardest colors to work with. Just wondering what did you top the vehicle with? What 3M product did you use? Did you use rotary or PC? What pads did you use? How do you like the 3M products?

Sorry for all the questions just trying to get your feed back on the products and the process that's all. Hope you don't me asking.

Very nice work! Looks like you still have some minor swirls looking at the first "after" picture. Were you able to get most of them out?

Regardless, great improvement!!!

The truck had been hacked in the past with a rotory so the paint was thin in a lot of spots. Thats why i didn't try to remove all the marks just to improve it the best it can be.

WOW Nate. You made that a good looking car.

Nate that looks good, looks like you wife took that 4 wheeling through the bushes, thats a lot of swirls!

Just wondering what did you top the vehicle with? Perfect-it Show Car Liquid Wax

What 3M product did you use?




Did you use rotary or PC? What pads did you use? I used my PC with 3M 6in pad one for each step

How do you like the 3M products? Love them and that’s not because I live in Minnesota (3Ms Home). 3M has made great products for the life of the company and A good friend of mine (not me) works there.

I haven't tried 3M but there is one product that I wouldn't mind trying. Thanks for sharing. I like that picture. Thanks for sharing and sorry for the questions

I suggest not trying the 3M Swirl Mark Remover for dark colored vehicles ... well you can if you want to fill swirls in and not remove them ... The initial results from it are nice but give it a few weeks and you'll be back to square one. They do have professional products that a lot of body shops use-
