Default 2006 Lincoln Town Car - 200,000 km before wash...

Hey guys,

This car belongs to a family friend ('uncle' if you will) who happens to own and operate a fleet of these town cars. This particular one had 200,000+ KMs on the odometer, so there was a lot of build up, but I decided if I could do this job quick, easily and effectively it would turn into a quick $30 for about 25 minutes of work.

Process:
- Rinsed with Electric Pressure washer on LOW.
- Sprayed entire engine down with purple power bio-degradeable degreaser full cut (airfilter box, battery, alternator covered).
- Scrubbed with medium bristle brush
- Rinsed with PW
- Dressed with AA Tire foam (8 for $4 - cashier accident)
