    2003 Ford Thunderbird

    Couple before and afters (well not fully after yet cause I am still finishing it up)

    This is a daily driver car so we came to an agreement to do an AIO polish on it with some touchups too. It has also gotten a Duragloss coating applied. I set the expectation at 50-70% correction and I think I came really close.

    Wheels removed and washed with Adams Wheel cleaner, Washed with CG Citrus Red, Iron-X, Clayed with the Eagle One mitt and CG Red, Polish with Meguiar's D151 / Orange LC flat pad, Rinsless washed with Meguiar's D114, Applied DG Squeaky Clean with black pad, Applied DG Paint Coating using foam applicator and MF towel to buff high spots, Top protected with 303 Fabric Guard, Trim protected with Blackfire trim sealant (after these pics were taken).










    Engine was cleaned with Meguiar's Super Degreaser and dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing 4:1






    Tips simply polished with 0000 steel wool and some P21S paste.





    Headlights polished and protected with DP's system. I love this system!!!

    Couple quick videos my interior girl and I did today of the T-bird after she helped me complete the inside.
