Dark-red 2014 Ford Fusion (detail & correction)

[4u2nvinmtl]

Here’s a 2014 Ford Fusion that was in dire need of a detail and some spot correction. Unfortunately I was pressed for time and didn’t have a chance to do everything (exterior only). I managed to get this detail done in about 4.5 hours…

Process:
• Pressure rinse (a lot of leafs and stuff in the cracks and crevasses)
• Foam lance (4oz Mr. Pink)
• Rinse (inspect)
• 4 bucket wash (2x 4oz Mr. Pink)
• Flood rinse (took note of scratches)
• Iron-X (iron decontamination rinsed after 5-7mins, broke clay towel in on windows)
• APC’ed the wheels (after Iron-X dwelled/rinsed)
• Tarminator (where needed while I waited for products to dwell)
• Clayed with alternative fine towel (wiped dry with WW towels)
• DA spot compound (I only focused on the worse spots)
• LSP sealant/wax (applied by DA)

Products used:
• CG Mr. Pink
• CarPro Iron-X
• Tarminator
• Meg’s D101 APC
• Autoscrub towel fine
• Ultima Waterless Wash Plus
• PC-7424xp DA
• Hydro-Tech pads (1x 5.5 inch crimson, 1x 5.5inch cyan, 1x 4inch cyan)
• Meg’s M101 Compound
• Collinite 845

LSP (first time applying by DA, great experience some tight angles):


Final inspection (post LSP buff off):







Beading from rain fall + mid-day sun:






Next day after being parked outside in the rain all night (no wipe down):







Needless to say my mother was really happy I did her car!

I like the color but do not see many Fusions (or Fords in general) in red.
