This was a referral from another customer. I was brought this 2000 Ford Expedition, it has 110K miles on it and was in ok shape. Lots of scratches and to my surprise minimal swirls. It was badly faded and oxidized. Enjoy the pics!

Wash with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo (Thanks Autogeek for the sample bottle)

Clay with Pinnacle Poly Clay

Wheels - Simple Green and Dressed with Wheel wax and Enurance Tire Gel

Meguiar's #83 - Polish and Paint cleaner on an orange pad. This removed all the oxidation and a lot of the imperfections

I tried Race Glaze on a white pad but didn't like the results - I will try it on a vehicle with less problems. So I switched back.

Menzerna Final Polish on a white pad which brought out the "POP" and wiped out the final imperfections.

My customer wanted a Winter wax so I topped it off with Collinite 845 on a grey pad.

Exterior Trim with Race Glaze - looks better than with Klasse AIO

Stoner's on the windows
