2018 Ford Explorer
Sterling Grey
153 miles

I had this brand new Explorer come in for a coating. The paint was in really good shape considering the dealer touched it! A light polish was all that was needed.
This paint has so much metallic! It looked great after the initial polishing. Sun checks were amazing!

2BW with Adam’s shampoo.
Clayed with Griot’s medium mitt.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
Adam’s tire/rubber cleaner.
Rupers MkII 21
Rupes iBrid.
Foam polishing pads.
Scangrip lighting.
CarPro Essence.
Spot polished with Meg’s D300 where necessary.
Eraser wipe down.
Blackfire glass cleaner.
SCG Pro Tire dressing.
NanoPro9H Pro Titanium ceramic coating. 2 coats.
NanoPro7H Pro Feather top coat. 1 coat.
Glass was coated with BEEDS DNA.
Plastic interior bits were coated with Gtechniq C4 trim coating.
Upholstery was coated with Scotchguard.

Thanks for looking!

The metallic in this paint is nuts!

So glossy!

Sun shots!

Looks great. Nice to see a new car not all rid’d by a dealer.

Looks great Scott! My wife loves her '17 Platinum edition. I love the massaging seats in it. Hers got Self Heal Lite. I love the product a little more each time I wash it.

Ebg: Me too! I was surprised it wasn't all swirled up!!!

Richy, it's a pretty darn nice vehicle! Bigger than I thought too!!!

Looks great, Ford picked a beautiful shade of gray. Those black pillar pieces scratch/swirl if you look at them wrong. I was shocked to see how bad they were in the before pics since it has 153 miles.

And Richy....massaging seats? I'd fall asleep!

Nice work on the pillars! I just corrected a pair on a Q5 this weekend.

Jeez, Scott..... I think my keyboard is running out of ink telling you how much I love your work, but I'm pretty sure it's worth it.

Where is the ink dipstick on one of these things, anyway?

Seriously, though......... You are amazing bud!
