Thanks everyone.. There are no before pics, its a 2013 it just had a little road grime on it. I used the two bucket method and then patted dry. Then applied two coats of Black Light then coat of Petes 53 and finally used the V7. I used some cheap tire dressing. "no touch tires shine" because I forgot that on my first ag. order. but just ordered the bogo pinnacle black onyx.

It was hard to capture any of the minor swirls before bcuz of the tuxedo black. But there are none now! Also have read alot about the wolfgang exterior trim sealent for the plastic around bottom of the edge. so thats will be applied when I receive it.

I personally think you would have been fine with one coat of blacklight and one coat of petes, but regardless it looks good :xyxthumbs:

Great job. Is it me or is there something especially rewarding about detailing the wife's car?

Actually I know what it is. It eases the pain when the next AG order arrives: "Honey, it's for YOU."

lol yes it did turn out good for the first time.. shes happy and I got a day off work to do what I enjoy so life is good.. I think the pics i posted were before i did the rims and stuff. I wish the edge had the
20s on it but i guess you cant have everything!

Looks great. You'll love the WGETS on the lower plastic, its what I use on my mom's 2009 Edge.

You can get 20's on all of the trims except for the Sport, Sport gets 22's.

2009-2010 Sport you could get 20's though.
