Gray streaks all over the Love Boat. Winter was not kind. Two-bucket wash to start, the streaks wouldn’t budge. Clay bar helped but not enough, so I got out the big gun:
That pad was orange when I started. Better to have all the kruft in there than in the paint. Then I did it again, with another pad and Meguiar’s Gold Class carnauba wax.
It’s white again, for now. Flat wore my old ass out.

Off topic, but when did they completely drop the ‘LTD’ from the name? When they went to the next body update? Ford was weird. They had an LTD on the Fox platform and then the LTD Crown Vic on this platform. I used to go to police auctions and sometimes you weren’t sure in the listing just which car was up if it just had 5.0 LTD.
Nice car. A friend had an earlier model Police Interceptor and I really liked driving it when he left it for me to take care of when he went overseas in the military. It had the 351 V8 so it was a bit more peppy than the standard 5.0 ‘civilian’ model.

1991 was the last year for LTD. The next (aero) body style was straight Crown Vic. Don’t forget the LTD II (Torino).
Trivia: You can put a 1979 body on a 2011 frame, with a bit of tweaking.

That would be cool. My friend (he was kinda a cop car nut) also had a 78 LTD ex-Georgia State Trooper car. Think it had a 460, but it wasn’t fast. I know that wouldn’t fit on a newer frame ;)

Ford used the LTD name in Australia until 2007
