PacificNWBuckeye Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Man, had issues with my home network so these have taken almost a week to get put in here. I picked up my new company car last week. The dealer was nice enough to forget to wash it before I picked it up, they did put some of the thickest tire shine I've ever run across, two full strength APC applications and they are still on the too shiny side. Did this last Friday, after a quick strip wash. I had washed it on Thursday, so I just wanted to clean it from sitting out overnight. The paint wasn't too bad. After claying, not too much pulled up. Started on the hood, went with fine machine polish since there was very little damage. Came out pretty good. Got busy sealing with Quick Sealant and topped it with Americana. Cleaned and SVRT'd under the hood. Man there is a bunch of plastic under there.... Hit the interior with Total Interior Detailer. Pulled it out to get some sun on it. my attempt at the Dylan shot. Final shot, I swear this is into the paint. Ignore the wore out guy behind the camera. Edited July 4, 2013 by PacificNWBuckeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMo Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Looks great, Ryan. If you didn't see the earlier post by chase@adams, he has named his kodiak brown f150, "rootbeer". Very appropriate, I think. I love the color. Depending on the lighting, you can get into some great debates - that's black/no it's brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNWBuckeye Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks Dan, I saw Rootbeer, some nice touches he's done to it. My wife is leaning to Boo Boo, like Yogi and Boo Boo, for the Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
