2008 Mercury Milan

[Attn2Detailz]

Hey everyone. For my second full detail or as I call it "The Full Monty" I had another challenge mainly on the interior. Let the pics speak for themselves. This was badly needed to increase the value as it will be listed for sale with 99K miles. I think I took off about 50K-60K miles..

I had two vehicles to do over my Independence Week off. 2003 CR-V (coming in another thread) and this Mercury.

Amazing job on the interior. Did you use the LGM on the headliner as well?

Yep, I had some streaks and small stains in a few places. Tidied it up with a MF cloth and Folex. I admit I was a little nervous once it dried it was great!

Thanks! That was the first job going from the old school WaxMaster orbital to my new PC. A little more practice and things should improve..

Great job, Joe! Could you give a breakdown on the tools, products, and your process on the carpets, upholstery and headliner? I'll be honest, I want to replicate what you're doing.
