This is a friends Mercury Sable. The vehicle was in desperate need of some TLC. The results speak for themselves.

I used just off the shelf stuff with a crappy 8" orbital. Nice wash, paint cleaner, polish and a single coat of wax. He hasn't seen it yet but he will when he gets back from his vacation today.

I can't wait to hit it with a high speed and some real quality compounds. :

Wow, that Sable looks MUCH better!
My lil white tracker had very faded dead paint. A lil buffing and the paint shined again. Looks so much better. It felt like rubbing you hand on a chalk board before and now like glass (albeit crappy glass hehhee).

Chris... in the first pic with showing you taking the picture i could see a figure but thats about it. In the after pic... i could instantly tell it was you. Very nice!
