This is a "quick" paint correction for a client to prep the vehicle for sale. Its not original paint, so I assumed I wasnt in for too rough of a ride other than the HUMONGOUS panels on this thing. I would say overall I removed approx. 85% of all swirls/rids with a total of 15 hours total into her.

Products used:
Dawn (for initial sudsing and stripping)
ONR
Opti clay
Megs 105/205
Lake county yellow/orange/grey
Optimum optiseal
Collinites 845
And for the vinyl top I decided to keep it simple and used some Optimum leather and vinyl protectant, worked surprisingly well and no glossy look or oily residue to later run.

For some reason I lost most of my 50/50 shots... New to android and all pictures were taken on my nexus 5. If I figure out where they are I will post them up. I'm still trying to get the hang of documenting the detailing process so until then hope these give you an idea.

All in all I wish I would of taken the size of this vehicle into consideration... I am almost out of 105/205 now.... And ran through almost all my good rags and pads just trying to get it done. It also didn't help that it was so big I couldnt even fit it in my garage, and it actually ended up raining one night. Luckily I had some collinites on the panels before the rain, as you can see the beading was great.

Nexus 5? Me too! Guess who's my new favorite member? Oh and great job
 
Look on the bright side, the mark VI was the beginning of downsizing for the Lincoln mark series. The Mark V looks very similar but is probably a foot or so longer.
 
Car came out great, the brown looks great too....seriously!
