Default silver ford fusion

This one was a freebie for Mother's day. paint isn't in too bad of condition

process was:

interior: (2 hours)
wipe down all interior with Optimum power clean 10:1
remove mats and scrub with OPC 10:1 and ONR QD
vacuum
scrub interior with finger nail brush (dry) to loosen hair
vacuum
dress with OPP (old version)
Stoner invisible glass inside

Exterior: (1 hour)
wheels/wells gold class 2bm
foam paint
rinse
2bm w/ gold class
spot clay while washing
dry with aqua wax
tires got stoner more shine



badge removal: (10 minutes)
just pried it off with my fingers
rubbed residue off with fingers
qd then clay
1x poliseal by hand to get remaining residue (forgot to take after picture)


before:






















this is the water after i extracted the mats - they had A LOT of dirt


after:



tire not dressed in picture


















after the clay on the badge. i polisealed that little bit of gunk away. forgot to get a picture of that, though

..i now have a new hated step in detailing. removing dog hair from cloth [:@]

What a shame to let that nice car get like that in the first place. I like Fusions. They are a nice mid sized car.
