Default Detailed Mom's Explorer

Here is the process I used
Wash with Zaino Z7
Clayed with Zaino Z18
PBs SSR2.5 with Sonus Orange Pad
PBs SSR2.5 with Sonus Green Pad
PBs SSR1 with Sonus Green Pad
Klasse AIO with Sonus Blue Pad
Topped with #26 and Mothers FX QD

Overall I am vary happy how the truck came out, just depressed at some of the rust forming, clear coar failure, and bad paint from the body shop

BTW I did do the trim (no pictures) with PBs NL but I did not do the wheels, tires, or wheel wells (too tired)

Anyhow enough talk, here are a lot of pics with some commentary
***********BEFORE****************
Got most of this scratch out....you'll see later
Got that thing out
Out with ease
Piece of cake

Got antsy and did this with the white porter cable pad and SSR1 (sort of side by side comparison)
Top left corner shows some oxidation, it was far worse than the pictures show all over the car

OK enough of the before pics, here are a ton of afters
*****************AFTER*****************
Hood


This is that scratch from the 1st pic, got most of it out (lots of SSR2.5 with QD, the QD seemed to make the 2.5 last longer)
I like that pic



Another one of my favorites

Not too excited about the hood


Please don't mind the garage, we are moving soon and I shall have the garage all to myself
So what do you guys think? Which pics are your favorite? Any questions?
