I found this truck on another F150 forum, seen it was a local truck (within 2 hours) and pm'd the guy. The wife and I met up with him, I test drove it, walked around it, and asked all the important questions like about spark plugs and coils which he has changed!
Here are the pics he had in the ad:
The seller was a great guy and even delivered the truck to me. He towed it with his replacement truck:
When I got it home, I was able to vacuum it, and wipe down with lemon cleaner on the interior. Then put my brand new F150 OEM slush mats in her, and put my Hellas behind the grille
I finally got to take my own pics of her and had a great location to do it!!
sorry for all the different threads, all the other ones were kind of introductory and excitement threads to the truck haha. now it has its own build thread
Finally had weather to wash the truck in! last weekend!!
it was getting dark. then got up the next day and hit the truck with my polisher! made my paint shine with my Dual Action Meguiar's Polisher.
G110V1 Dual Action Polisher
M105 (Fine Cut Compound) on 6 1/2" polishing pad
M205 (Ultra Finishing Polish) on 6 1/2" finishing pad
Hand waxed with Meg's NXT 2.0 Paste Synwax
Removed every swirl there was in the hood leaving a brilliant shine. Gonna hit the rest of the truck when the weather clears back up (it snowed the next day.) ill use the same process, BUT after the M105 and M205, ill hit it with #7 (Show car glaze pure polish, and then Hi-Tech Yellow Wax with the polisher, THEN hand wax with the NXT to seal it best

MR. CLEAN to the rescue. I LOL'ed at the snow pic on FB of both vehicles in the driveway lol
that was the next day after doing all this! BUT the truck has not moved since I cleaned it and buffed it, so its still clean other than wiping off with quick detailer

Have you thought about starting your own detailing business? or are you only into doing this for yourself?
Yeah everyone up here knows I'm OCD when it comes to cleaning my trucks/cars. Ive thought about it, I love cleaning "MY" vehicles and keeping them mint, dont mind doing others, but pisses me off to how they treat them after ive spent hours cleaning.

Surprised your not freaking out by the fact that it's filthy by now. Usually you'd be having a heart attack and cleaning it up. Could be worse if you still had the Pacer's.
