This is actualy a Sierra, but Ford made em as a pick up, dont know if this one was made for the US market, anyway, you havnt missed anything, used it some time ago, and lets just say, its NOT a car to use during winter.
Now it has been left alone, sits outside 24/7 and therefore its a great "test" subject for my rotary training (poor, poor car)
So with a rotary and 3 feet "too" short powercord i went too work after washing the hood and fenders first, then clayed one half of the hood.
So this was the team:
Rotary
cutting pad megs
polishing pad megs
finishing pad megs
MG83
MG82
MG21
As said i had 3 feet too short cord, so i had to just take the lower front of the hood and almost all off the front fender.
Im going back on it some other day to take the rest of the half with rotary (wool/MG85), and the other half with the DA, too see what i can correct with that and some XMT 3, 1 and 360.
Still trace of my last test (AutoGlym/left vs Meguiars/right one year ago) they was kinda similar, but when you look at the stripe in the middle you see that it has not faded that bad in one year on either sides.
This is how it was before the AutoGlym vs Meguiars:

The kids love too clay, i have to hide the clay at home or they will take it.

Alot better, but not good enough, what is those small spots in the paint?
