Zach5.9CTD Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Well guys. Just as the title says my gf got a new car sat. The salesman tried to argue with me about why she needed to pay for THEIR "paint sealant" instead of me doing it myself, story short he got a scolding by me and backed down fast about it haha. Anyway she got a 2016 ford escape ecoboost 4wd in magnetic gray. Got about 3k or 4k off sticker price. Here's some pics. Dan@Adams 1
pirahnah3 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 She is going to really shine once you can put a little love to that paint. I would HIGHLY recomend doing the rail dust removal to the whole car before trying much of anything you might be shocked at what it shows.
Dan@Adams Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Very nice! I have quite a few friends and relatives now with the new Escapes and they all are very pleased. I'm sure your girlfriend will be happy too
pirahnah3 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Here is the Vid Dylan did, it is very easy to see on white but I did a Tan Jeep for a family member and wow it was covered in it! blcksilv08 1
694doorbird Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Very nice, love that color. How do you like the ecoboost?
Zach5.9CTD Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Still slow. Plan to do some minor modding to it. Lol
pirahnah3 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Still slow. Plan to do some minor modding to it. Lol Its an eco bost escape.....not a GT500.... NG13 and Performance Auto Detailing 2
garner Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Its an eco bost escape.....not a GT500.... Still needs moar boost!
NG13 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Still needs moar boost! Yeah! Gotta take the eco out of it!
Zach5.9CTD Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 I've toyed with the idea of boost controller, intercooler, air intake, bov/wastegate, some sort of a tuner/programmer etc
pirahnah3 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Just be warned, anything to do with the computer WILL leave footprints, they can even tell what dealerships have hooked up to it even just to look into the computer now. Got this info from both a ford dealer friend and an independent repair shop that works on large ford trucks. Personally I would stick to bolt ons for now so that you dont void the warranty unless it doesnt matter to you.
Zach5.9CTD Posted December 18, 2015 Author Posted December 18, 2015 Honestly I'm not too concerned. I've spent a lot of years as a wrench for various dealers from chevy to ford to Chrysler etc. Also worked for independent shops.

Zach5.9CTD Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 Figured I'd share some updated pictures of her car. I'd like to thank Mrs whitetail doe deer for everything. She has truly changed our lives. .
TheWolf Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Bummer Zach, that stinks, especially on a new car.
jeffh Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I hope everyone is ok. I think with the right machine and some paint correction and finishing polish that will buff right out
Zach5.9CTD Posted December 26, 2015 Author Posted December 26, 2015 I told her I can buff it out. She asked to watch haha. It just suprised me how an animal hit can do that much damage
Captain Slow Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 My wife and I feel your pain, been there, done that. She was anti hunting until Bambi's mom made a mess out of her TBSS.
