Great job for a quick cleanup!
Interior, exterior, wheels and exterior came out amazing.

(I miss the black LS we used to have, not really)

Thanx. I say quick bc I skipped clay and used an AIO as opposed to clay, compound, polish, seal/wax. The leather was treated to Mothers VLR as opposed to leather cleaner/steam and then condition. I put in an about 2 hrs over what I wanted to but the owner is my friend.

supposedly, This was a very popular Lincoln. I dont like it as it is not lincoln really, but if Lincoln could figure out why this was good, they could be earning money again

 

[Sicoupe]

Nicely done!

Yes it was. I figured it out, because it looks like a BMW.......lol

Well that interior sure was dirty before, very nice job on the Lincoln and removing those lovely buffer trails.

I seem to recall it being more Jaguar than Lincoln. V8, rwd, near 50/50 weight, could get a manual in the V6 models. Fun entry level luxury.

Engine and body style! It was very different and more young people was buying this car than ever. Very nice detail. Good turn around for sure.

You're correct, more Jag than Lincoln, small V8. Thing was a blast to drive, not so much in the snow didn't matter what kind of tires it had!

Very nice work. D151 cuts very well and finishes nicely.

Thanx everyone. I am a big fan of D151 on a MF cutting disc. It worked even better with the 5.5 then the 6 IMO. In this case I topped with D156 but usually top with Megs UPW or Collonite. You can't beat it for DD although XMT 360 looks interesting. But D151 works so well for me I might just stick with it.

Looks great! Awesome turnaround.

Looks great! Nice job!

 

[lokerola]

Wow, nice turnaround! The interior looks so much better without the black floor-mats.

 

[zmcgovern45]

Wow - Awesome results for an AIO! Car looks great. The owner should have no problem selling it now, and will probably get more money for it. Nice work!

 

[Bill1234]

I think Lincoln should re design this and release it as the Lincoln zeypher. Then elongate it a bit for a new town car

 

[DaVinciAutoSpa]

Great turnaround! Carpet and engine especially. Kudos.
