Detailing: 2012 Ford Taurus SHO 2012 Ford Taurus SHO, Silver on Black. Approximately 8000 miles.
The owner of this car picked it up approximately 9 months ago off a dealers lot and we have been trying to sync up to get the car started off on the right foot. Well it only took 9mths but we were able to finally do it! Owner has taken very good care of the car since day one. We were only able to find minor blemishes in the paint.
After 18 man hours the results are excellent. The car is 95/100 for the steps we executed and looks super slick.
Due to the nature of the paint and how the camera liked it, or didn't (worse then white!!!), only a limited numbers of picks... Not to mention the sun was going away when we finished
Thanks for viewing!!!
