Default Ford Flex New Car Prep/ Window Tinting

New Car Prep and Window Tinting

This vehicle belongs to a local ford service manager. He has been following our detailing blog and post over the years and finally decided that for his newly acquired vehicle it’s time to have it detailed properly. When the vehicle arrived it only had a couple hundred miles and was a perfect candidate for our New Car Prep.

Even from the dealership and being brand new there were sap and tar stains all over the vehicle. Furthermore, their silicone based dressing made a mess of the rims and the lower valance.

With our New Car Prep package, we made sure this brand new vehicle left the shop the way a new vehicle should look. Along with the New Car Prep we were able to tint the two front windows with Suntek Carbon 20% film through our car design division, Superior Auto Design.

Products Used:

Windows:
Suntek Carbon 20% Window Tint

Wheels and Tires:
Superior Auto Salon APC (Wheels)
Superior Auto Salon Degreaser (Tires)
Superior Auto Salon Tire Protectant

Exterior Paint:
Superior Auto Salon Auto Bathe
Superior Auto Salon APC
Chemical Guys Fine Clay
Pinnacle Paintworks Cleansing Lotion
Detailer’s Pro Poli Paint Sealant

Before:









During:
Two bucket method to prevent swirls and scratches


Scrubbing down the tires to remove all silicone dressing applied by the dealership


Using the Daytona Speed Brush to insure that the inner barrels of the wheels are clean


Foaming down the vehicle to remove loose dirt (helps to prevent swirls)


Vehicle is pulled inside to dry, prevents water sports
