So a good friend of mind, Jason who is an avid Ford Guy a General Manager at a local Ford Dealer just outside our metropolitan area has a couple really nice rides (including a perfect 03 Supercharged Mustang SVT) and then this one, which is the old school baby and my favorite. Meet his 1994 Ford Bronco. He had it painted (I'll grab the color and update) about 2 years ago but hasn't had it detail to really bring out the gloss and reflectivity of the clear coat.
Goals here were to create a light gray mirror, obviously correct any marring and then restore the chrome bumpers and black trim. He wasn't initially looking at fixing the original fiberglass roof that was re-stained 2 years ago but I couldn't let it sit faded and not popping out. To protect it going forward, we decided upon a 2 layer system of CarPro's latest SiC Product.
Overall, the vehicle is really clean given it's 27+ years old. The bumpers while oxidized were good and the plastic trim able to be restored and coated. The roof faded and in need of a re-dye came back nicely too. I'll start with a couple shots showing the before state of things.
Now onto the After Pics:
I love the color, the stance and the mix of gloss and matte finishes
The original tire cover restored nicely and is now coated and protected from the elements.
Matches my house perfectly but he wouldn't part with it.
The front bumper, air dam and grill all restored nicely. The gloss on the black trim will tone down a bit over time as the coating cures and settles in.
Our friends at Pickups Plus Cars, a local aftermarket company supplied him the wheels
The depth and clarity of the finish turned out really, really nice I think
Products used included both my Flex 3401 and L.C. Orange Hybrid Force Pads, My Flex XCE and L.C. Orange Flat Pads, a handful of Rupes Yellow Pads and a couple CarPro Gloss Pads. Product Wise, CarPro Essence was my polish and base for the ceramic coating.
