2007 Ford Five Hundred

This is my wifes car and have been really lacking the motivation to do it just because it's black and as we all know black is a real pain to detail and get it right. Here are some teasers since I lost my light to take direct sun shots and I will update the thread tomorrow night when I have a chance to take more pics.



Yupp, it's shiney and I approve.

Thanks Randall. That is about the only thing I like about black paint.

And here are the afters.





Some sun shots, I could not get the paint 100% this go around but I did manage to get it to about 75%-80%.







I cound not get this one out but I did minimze it but it's going to need paint to fix it.

Well, the paint might not be 100% but it does look 100% better. Nice work.
