Tuxedo Black Fusion detail
 

Bought this '12 Fusion Sport in March from my youngest son, who never acquired my love for detailing. Swirls weren't a big issue, though, because he rarely washed the car either. But anyhow, I clayed the car & went over it with Poorboy's SSR2. I then polished it with Menzerna SF4000 (Man, I'm really starting to love that stuff!), then gave it a coat of Menzerna Power Lock, & topped it off with a coat of Menzerna Color Lock. Tuxedo Black, when properly detailed, is a gorgeous color on a sunny day!

Your son is lucky in many ways. Nice job, it looks awesome.

Looks really good, and you're right: the color does look nice on a sunny day. Tons of flake.

How is it possible your son not only doesn't detail his car, but never washes it? I guess sometimes the apple DOES fall far from the tree... then rolls several hundred feet down the hill... then gets carried a few miles by animals.

He's a Naval Officer, Marc. That ought to explain it! lol

That’s one nice looking Fusion, mcate! :nice:

Thanx!

Car looks great! I need someone to detail mine for me, just like this lol!

I don't do house calls (yet) but if Indiana isn't out of your way too much then bring it on over!

just a little ways away from Maryland, but thanks haha!

According to Fifth Gear show bumper statistics, 18% of vehicle owners never wash their car or truck. Go figure!

My prior 2011 Edge was Tuxedo black. I loved the color in the sun so much, our current 2013 Edge is also Tuxedo black!
good job on the detailing ! I wished my son would like cars, only half of how I love them. But unfortunately, his love for cars is not even close to half of how I love cars. This means I can totally relate to you! I have to do all the detailing myself :-)

You're welcome! :D

I love cars twice as much as my dad and I blame him for my disease. He takes no responsibility for it though :shame: If my son (almost 3 months lol) doesn't love cars even as much as I do, I will disown him :lol:

I'm working on that already though...:grin:

He is cute!

I'd say you're getting a good start!

That color looks great in the sun for sure. Nice job.

Thanx!

That paint looks deep enough to dive into!

Thanx! This year I've decided to put more of my attention into polishing than I used to. I still use my trusty Poorboy's swirl removers, but I'm trying to branch out & try different polishes. I've tried 3D/HD & Menzerna SF4000, & really like them both. Also, a buddy turned me on to the Menzerna Power Lock sealant, & it just flat-out blows me away. I've never felt such slickness from a sealant. And I've always liked layering carnauba over sealant for added depth & protection. The Menzerna Color Lock carnauba wax is impressing me quite a bit so far. I did the full Menzerna treatment on the Cobalt below, & the owner loved it. I enjoy trying new stuff. This has been a fun detailing season!
