Okay, I was bored today. I have not worked on a vehicle in about a month’s time. Today, it finally stopped raining down here. I was less than 60 degrees outside and overcast. I just was not able to finish everything today. I worked from after 9AM till 5PM when the sun was going down. Since the Valley has been getting rain after rain, the roads were wet with potholes. Fun……. I was not able to dress the tires PLUS, I was not able to remove the wax off the black molding on the vehicle. Some detail shop messed up this one after body work was done to it. I will remove the wax marks off of it in the near future.

Enjoy!!

Great Job! I hate the look of those plastic floor mates.

I know. He bought those @ a Wally World store. He has brand new floor mats. Just does not wish to use them.

He sold his late '90's Lincoln Mark VIII and went to Florida, kinda odd, to buy that MKZ. It use to be a lease vehicle and advised me he had a very good offer. After I washed the vehicle, I started seeing problem after problem. The vehicle did not have anything listed under Carfax, so, I does not know what happened to the vehicle. Front bumper & Rear bumber have been repainted. They were not pulled off the vehicle. They were taped over. Which means, there was over spray on it. I found that out when I started drying the vehicle after was. I pointed all of that out to the owner before I did the 205. That is why I ran out of time from taking off the wax marks on the black rubbers. I will do that when the owner has a free chance to let the MKZ go for a few ours. :xyxthumbs:

Owner is very happy with the work I did on the vehicle.
