2000 Ford Excursion

[BMGz33]

Well I got motivated to "clean" my dad's 2000 Ford Excursion in the middle of the night seeing how almost everyone has great results with there work on black cars. I setup my equipment and got started at around 6pm and finished around 1am.

My dad's truck had spent about 2 years or so underneath a tree with it rarely being moved. There was lots of dust, tree debris, and bird droppings on the paint.

I am still in the learning phase of detailing so this thread is just get some feedback from others. I also apologize for the horrible distorted pics.

Feel free to chime in:xyxthumbs:

wow... great turn around.... The neighbors did not care you had a polisher running until 1am?

Thanks, hopefully they didn't lol:xyxthumbs:

Looks good..what did you use to bring it back. Like compound, polish, clay bar and buffer you used.

A detailer after my own heart.:xyxthumbs:

I would love to have the opportunity to do a turn around on such a large canvas.
I, too, in my recent past, would grab a neighbor of friends ride just too have something to do on long hot nights in Clark County.

Good work hand and I am subscribed!
