This would actually mean something if it wasn't a SoCal car with no salt and winters.

well its been through hell and back.. aka riverside to palm springs a lot of times.. sand storms, hail, etc.. i just wonder what it would look like if it had been garaged the last 9 years..

 

Word, I hate you Cali guys for your clean cars though. Ughh. Is it 2wd? I see it doesnt have the running boards and thats the case alot of times.

man its decent.. the front of the hood is all messed up from the palm springs trips.. mom loves that spa resort & casino haha.. and the roof has some areas that are peeling, but we arent really worried about it.. its just a work vehicle now.. i guess i shouldnt have used my $225.00 wax on this beast

 

to a job well done.

 

need to detail my car once I get it back

 

Cleanest mom's Explorer on H-T!!

 

Representin' Ford

 

nice work

the only thing I would have done to add to it would be to spray bomb the wheel wells with a can of black enamel

nah all i gotta do is get in there with some degreaser and a brush.. then spray some CD2 in there.. it will look good.. i just wasnt going for an all out detail.. i really was just learning my new polisher..

thanks for all the compliments fellas.

 

if any local guys want some work done, we can negotiate a price on some work.. i only use top line products so your paint will be outstanding..
