    Trashed Newer Expedition

    I knew there might be something nice under this mess. It only has 40,000 miles on it. I had no idea the paint would be such a pretty color underneath.....

    Re: Trashed Newer Expedition

    Here are the results.......

    Here is what I used:

    Wheels & Wheel Wells

    Amazing Roll Off -- tires, and wheel wells
    Meguiar's Wheel Brightner -- rims
    Meguiar's Hyper Dressing -- 2:1 tires

    Wash

    Dawn Dishwashing Soap.....

    Engine

    Amazing Roll Off
    Dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant

    Carpets

    Folex -- spot treatment
    Pro-Form (Sams Club) Carpet Cleaner -- Cleaning
    Bissell

    Leather

    Clean -- Woolite 10:1
    Condition -- Meguiar's Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (just got it!)

    Interior and Door Jams

    Meguiars APC+ 4:1
    Plastic & Dash treated with 303
    Alcohol & Water 50/50 for windows
    Also treated all of the rubber seals with 303 Protectant

    Paint

    I just got Meguiars Paint Reconditioning Cream. OH MY GOD!! It is awesome. Especially for jobs like this where the car is very new and the paint is in ok shape. Just some minor swirls etc...
    I used the cream with my PC7424 and a white CCS pad.

    Black plastic on bumper and mirrors

    Meguiar's Hyper Dressing -- 100%

    Wow! What awesome work!! That car was trashed with a capital "T"! So what did the customer say to you when you delivered their brand new car to them? The car definitely looks brand new again.

    Great job!!! I never could understand how someone can spend that much money on a car only to trash it like that. The sad thing is that she will just turn around and do it again...
