Wash and Wax - 1999 Ford Taurus - EHUTH1

[ehuth1]

Degrease Problem areas with *PB Bug Squash (tar, bugs, mud etc...) and followed with quick Rinse
Clean wheels, tires and wells with "The Brown Stuff" Spray on let sit for 5-10 seconds and rinse.
FOAM GUN - 2oz of DG901 and 1oz of Wash-N-Wax the rest water. 65% mix rate.
Let this sit for 5 Minutes and now I pop out the foam attachment and pop in the sprayer nozzle. This was done with the Karcher 1400psi unit.
Spray off foam. Start at the top and make my way down to the bottom.
MF Towel dry using DP 4-n-1 QD. This breaks the water and releases it to help my towel from soaking to much up too quick.
Next we drag the vac out and start in the rear and come to the front hitting all the cracks and crevices. Then I apply dressing to all door jambs and rubber seals.
Grabbed a old MF towel and used some MEGS ID to clean the scuffs and cup holders.
I always do the tires (UV2) next along with the wells (AA Tire Foam), running boards (303), and bumper trim (303), then I follow that up with the cleaning of the wheels and chrome bumpers if any with Clearkote QS.
While I'm waiting for the tire shine to settle in I go inside and wash my hands and get my waffle weaves and Stoners IG and hit all the windows inside and out.
It's just about time for XMT 360 via orange CCS. This paint was in decent shape with hardly any rough spots. This to works good outside so you can see your results, so off I went. Next step was to finish with Pinnacle Spray Souveran. This paint was really looking better !!
Now it's time to final inspect and move on to the big one F-450.BEFORES

Nice, that foam gun gets me every time...nice. I like the way white looks when properly cleaned.

Thanks for sharing.

Great job! I personally haven't seen a clean Taurus in a while.

Ya you don't see too many people runnin around "HEY COME DETAIL MY TAURUS!"

but great job none the less, i think white is one of the under appreciated colors. if you do it just right, you can get a nice shine

This is the owners daily driver back and forth to work. He actually complimented more on this car than the other two. I just went with the flow and said "oh yea...."

[Dust2Glory]

Never seen a detail on Korean cars (Hyundai, Kia) either. Wonder how it looks detailed.:rolleyes:

You got that white kicking!
