The Ryan

Recommended Posts

So a friend of mine and his wife purchased new 2013 Ford Fusion, I asked him if he wanted to bring over for some new car prep. We started this morning at about 8am its was a great day for detailing, nice and over cast. I snapped some before shots before we began working:

I got started with some APC and a the new Tire brush to clean up the tires:

I then moved onto the wheels with Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner and Adam's Wheel Woolies:

I then cleaned the wheels with Adam's Boars Hair Brush:

And then rinsed the wheels:

Then I rinsed the car and prepared for a full two bucket wash:

Zero water beading present:

On to a full foam foam treatment with Adam's Car Shampoo:

After a full two bucket wash, it was time to rinse it off:

On to the clay bar treatment:

After another quick rinse, we brought the car in the garage for a air dry treatment via the MetroBlaster SideKick:

After we got it all dry, a prototype Interior Spray was used on the interior:

I opened up the engine bay for a quick wipe down and dress up:

50/50 After a helping of Super VRT:

Aaaaand the finished product:

Back to the paint we went, since the car had no visible scratches or swirls and it primarily lives outside, I layed down some Adam's Quick Sealant:

Adam's Quick Sealant was also applied to the wheels:

After the sealant was applied, I decided the pearls in this while would greatly benefit from a helping of Brilliant Glaze:

Super Secret Juice applied to the tires:

I polished up the 1.6L Turbo's exhaust tip with Adam's Metal Polish #1:

Something was still missing with the paint, I wanted to see more depth and pearl, enter:

Yup, I treated the car to a full wax treatment with Adam's Patriot!

Since the sun was finally out, it was time to get this thing out in the sun for some beauty shots!

Really Ford has a beautiful daily driver here.. This car is as nice to drive as it looks. The leather interior is top notch, and this car turns heads like you would not believe... Fun detailing day! Hope you enjoyed... I know I did:

Very nice job you did there. What a great friend you are. I wish I had a friend with a garage full of Adam's Polishes to do my truck. I have the supplies and just waiting for the right weather and time to get it done.

 

By the way, nice pictures also.

Nice job and nice friend you are!

 

Love pearl paint..nothing like it when the sun hits it especially after a nice wash and detail.

Your friend owes you big ..especially using Patriot on his car.

That came out GREAT! I DO NOT have ANY friends good enough to do that for. Especially to use my coveted Patriot on. Mine sits in the fridge where's it's been since opening the box! :)
