Prestige Auto Detailing: 2001 Lincoln Town Car

**SRHTX** · 05-30-2010, 08:01 PM

Well, I worked on this 2001 Lincoln Town Car over a year ago. The lady really does not drive it much. It sites outside 24/7 at an adult living facility. The Rio Grande Valley has plenty of these places across our area. When I worked on it the 1st time, I only had a PC and a few lil toys. NOW, I have plenty of toys and it will really shine.

On Monday. I will only have a few hours to do some detail work. The Town Car will not be done until Wednesday afternoon. I have one question to ask. What would YOU USE to clean the vinal top on the Town Car? I know there is no way in saving it since it's so dry and was never taken care of since it was new back in 2001. I was going to use some Amazing Roll-Off on the top or something. What would you suggest?

Oh yeah. The time I did this, I used saddle soap on it. This is what she ended looking like:

Only a Detailing God could accomplish that! Saddle soap on vinyl, a new trick! Thanks!

303 Fabric Cleaner removes stains and restores fabric to like-new condition. The 303 biodegradable formula removes oil, grease, dirt, coffee, tea,

Just my opinion....

I've got some of the 303 products. I just do not know if I have that one item or not. I will not be at the house until tomorrow morning so I could check. I just did not wish to post that item until someone else would mention it.

Simple.

Engine:
Amazing Roll-Off
Stoner’s More Shine

After you washed the engine with ARO, start the car for a few minutes. Shut it off and spray some Stoners on it. Let it run for another 5 minutes, or so, then shut it off. After you finish the exterior, open the hood and wipe the engine down to make sure everything is nice and dry.
