This Escape was a pretty neglected vehicle. I dont think it has ever been hand washed, just run through the auto wash.
It had several scratches all over it, some deeper then others. The bottom portion had a fair amount of tar on it as well.
To get this clean up I washed, clayed, applied Megs d151 and dress the trim.

Products used
Wash~CG citrus W&G
Wheels, tires, wheels~Megs APC+, Megs wheel brightner
Clay~Mothers, clayed while car was still wet
Polish wax~Megs D151 on LC tangerine pad, GG polisher set to 4-5
On with the photos.

Tires and trim were dress with CG G6 hyper coat.

Client told me when they went to work, several people commented on their "new car", so thought they got new wheels and tires. Hopefully some new clients.
 
The first thing I thought was "that thing looks new!" Maybe even better than new :dblthumb2: Very nice Clean Up

I just got some Megs WB I can't wait to use
I gotta try D151
 
maybe I didnt catch it but what would you use for the trim and step up rails.
 
Did you use a 6.5-in pad on the entire vehicle?

No, used 4" pads as well.
