    96 Bronco...What a disaster

    Here was Saturdays detail, an atrocious Bronco. 4 bald tires, years worth of tar buildup, and check out those scratches!!! They were all over the sides of the truck from scraping against bushes.

    Plan of attack
    1. Wash and clay
    2. SSR3 (worked like a charm, what a great product)
    3. Automagic XP
    4. Megs #9 (thanks AL-53!)
    5. Collinites 845

    Other
    No.7 Chrome polish
    B&B
    Megs Paint Cleaner (for the windshield which had some sort of "film" on it. It looked like a hologram!)

    Price $200 Outside only

    Here we go


    Care for some tar?


    This pic is great. Holy scratches :wait


    Some shabby wheels

    Great work!!! That last pic looks brand new and that`s a bald tire! What were you using a rotary or pc?
    All things can be explained, it`s just that some things are harder to explain than others.

    AMAZING!!

    Like TraderB asked - did you use a rotary or a PC? I just finished an Acura and couldn`t touch scratches finer than your`s with my PC and SSR3.

    Maybe I should try again.

    Ready for this........NIETHER :-p See, SSR3 does work by hand.

    Actually, I dont have either at the moment but I did mean to get a PC once I saw this thing. I couldnt get it in time so I had to do it by hand. I was a little nervous at first but the truck responded VERY well to all the products I used. I am getting a PC though to cut down on time mainly.

    You could probably step down to SSR2 with a PC and firm pad. Your way of life will change when the PC arrives! These are bloody GREAT!! Oh yeah, top job!

    Carb&Choke Cleaner. Works great. I dont know anything else that could have even dented this stuff. The tar was as hard as a rock

    Bronco looks great M23accord!! I do have one question though if you could help me. As I understand the ssr3 has diminishing abrasives in it but i thought you at least had to have a pc to break them down...so either youve got really fast hands or I`m not understanding something right. Again awesome job and tia for any info on this

    Outstanding work - if your work looks this good on by hand, you`re going to be awesome with a PC.

    Did you use XP compound or polish? XP compound is like liquid sand paper.
    Teflon is for frying pans.
