A late start this year as I had a new driveway poured and a bunch of other stuff going on. I do this on the side so the weekends are my opportunity to make things shine.

A buddy of mine wanted his 2016 Fiesta ST brought back to new. He purchased the vehicle used, and it had the typical swirls you'd find on a black car. After a quick inspection I set expectations and went to work.

Products used:
McKee's 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash
Griots PFM drying towels & Griots PFM window towels
Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel
Chemical Guys natural shine tire dressing
Chemical Guys Medium Duty Clay & Clay Luber
3D HD Speed
Lake Country Thin Pro 5.5'' & 3'' Orange pads
Optimum Spray Wax


Getting Started:

Fender seemed like it was washed with sand paper.

Go easy on me since this was my first post of this sort. Hopefully many more to come as my weekends are booked now through June.

Happy Detailing!
 
Great job detailing this Fiesta ST.
 
As Ive heard before, black isnt a color, its a full time job.

Nice work. HD Speed really cleaned that paint up nice!

True!

Thanks. It was my first time using HD Speed. I am now a believer!
 
Nice work! Owner must have been thrilled with the results! Looks great!

Thank you. The comment "I'm never taking it out of the garage again." made me happy.

I have to work on getting a bit faster but I learn a bit more with each job.
 
Great work! It sure is a nice feeling when you turn something around like you did, especially black! Thanks for sharing.
 
That side shot is spectacular! Beautiful results jdubs and I can see why you're booked through June.
