Another red Taurus

Another red Taurus, but this one is a wagon. It’s a 99, with 150K. I just done the exterior and engine. That’s all the owner wanted…He saw the job I did on the other one and called me. He was wanting just his head lights at first and decided to go a little bit more.

Nice work. What did you do the underhood sheet metal like the section over the radiator and the strut area? Did you polish or just use the purple power cleaner.

Thanks
I sprayed everything down with purple power 4:1 and use a brush, power puff and paint brush dip in water and dawn mix. Cut on the engine, pressure wash with a wide spray and rinse everything off...LSP on everything under the hood was DG #265.rops:

Great job Sparkie. XMT 360 still amazes me and I just picked up a 3M headlight kit, but have not had a chance to use it yet. I also like DG Aquawax on wheels.

After you have the 3m kit, just go to a body shop supply place and buy boxes of the paper. It'll save you a ton over buying the kit over and over.

Thanks Buddy, 360 still amazes me too...I done some headlights on Lexus a few weeks ago and 360 cleaned them right up.

I used some Megs 105/205 and plastic polish on the wife's Jeep a few weeks ago. I didn't have fine enough sand paper to use. It was much improved, but not as clear as could be. So I picked up the 3M kit.

I noticed you used DG #265 on the engine compartmentt and elsewhere. How do you like it? It looks great. I do not have a dedicated product for this and needed some suggestions. DG's stuff is great and sometimes found locally.
