So I had this job scheduled for the previous weekend but had to reschedule due to a bad storm coming through and knocking out power here in Mass. Fast forward to Sunday and this 2015 SHO Taurus finally got dropped off for me to get corrected and coated. I started on Monday by getting the interior detailed along with getting the initial prep work and I got a head start on the correction in foresight of the pending blizzard that was coming Tuesday. So Tuesday I woke up early while power was still present and managed to get this thing knocked out and coated during the day all in between a couple rounds of snow blowing! Thankfully we didn't loose power and The car was completed on schedule. The client and I agreed that it should stay here for a couple extra days until the roads are better.

Interior

Mckees 70/30 leather shampoo, Mckees total interior cleaner, IGL Dash protectant, Mckees carpet and upholstery cleaner

Engine Bay

LATA, Hyper dressing

Wheels/Tires

Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, LATA, Hyper dressing and Mckees Gloss tire gel

Wash/Decon

Hyper wash, Mothers speed clay, Mckees waterless wash as lube, Goof Off for sap removal

Correction

Initial test spot was with Rupes green pad and Mckees new FC717 on my G21. I ended up switching to a BOSS microfiber cutting pad with the FC717 which worked awesome and finished almost LSP ready. Finish polishing was handled by my Duetto with a Rupes yellow pad and M205. Adams swirl killer mini was also used.

Trim dressed with Mckees trim restorer

LSP

IGL Quartz 2 year coating

Funtime. Love detailing during a storm. The interior looks a little glossy for my liking . Paint looks sweet though! Nice job!

Great work. The taurus sho has so much potential but fails in alot of categories. The interior packaging is not great, the car is extremely heavy, the engine could be updated, the car might as well get a full redesign if ford wants to use it for ppvs

Thanks. Yeah believe it or not the leather has nothing on it. Just cleaned with Mckees 70/30 leather shampoo.

Personally the only thing I dislike is how damn tall it is! Doing the roof is a pita!!!
