I went over it with Black Wow after it's first wash, really early in the detail. After it's second wash I touched it up with Meguiar's Hyper-Dressing 4:1.......

All I can add to this is you'll have one happy customer when she picks it up!!

[O.C.Detailing]

Okay, first, the vehicle looks great! That said, and I'm just curious, but did you apply any protection after using Dawn to strip whatever may have been on the paint when you started?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for using a good dishsoap, but ONLY if I plan on reapplying a protection layer of some sort in the form of wax or sealant.

Just curious, because your work is excellent. The vehicle looks very, very, very good. I just had to ask.

nice job cleaning it up, love that color too. i'm not a big fan of fords (mainly the exterior designs turn me off), but this one has caught my eye and i would even think about purchasing one, until i saw the price of one (it was the limited model) at sams club... $40,000! :wow:
