    2013 Ford edge spring fix up

    Our family has been using this car for about half a year now, it got really dirty to the point where salt covered the whole vehicle and it was hard to look at

    Started with rim cleaning -Meguiars non acid at 4 to 1 works well

    Then a 50 /50 mix of 4 oz of dawn and 4 oz of meguiars gold class in my foam gun

    cleaned out the mats and vacummend the interior a bit


    did a second slightly stronger wash to get rid of all the salt

    I ran out of time, but I will do a full paint decon and wax later with some opti bond gel to the tires

    Good start on the spring clean-up!

    Wait a minute...
    It's already Spring up your way?

    My wife has an orange 2008 Edge. We love that vehicle and the color looks awesome when polished.

    Can't wait to see your finished pics

    Coming along great. I can't stand white dried layer of salt on car.

    Re: 2013 Ford edge spring fix up

    I am sorry to say it , but I hate this fake chrome, far away it looks nice, but up close it looks bad. Theres so much film from the road that is hard to get off. I am always resorting to hand waxing each rim for about 30 minutes to make them look good

    Quick tip, to clean tires I use the quickie yellow bristle long handle brush. I spray some cleaner, let it sit and then scrub the tire hard for about 30 seconds.

    I highly recommend this for anyone looking to clean tires well
