'04 Ford Mustang Cobra detail

1 Clean WS6

Detailing Rottweiler
Hey all!!



I got to detail this beautiful Terminator on Monday and am just getting around to posting pictures now (a good thing). I apologize for the poor light as it was very overcast Monday (it even sleeted a little in the AM) and combined with the white paint it was tough to make the pics "jump".



This particular Cobra is owned by an older gentleman and is a daily driver showing about 18K on the odo. It has been very tastefully modded keeping the theme of "stock but not" about it...something you would expect from an older owner. It has been pullied and tuned and has about 460hp and 490ft-lbs to the wheels. Overall the paint was in good shape but had never been clayed or polished. Below is a description of process and products used.



Enjoy,

Mike :cool:



Wash with Meg's Gold Class shampoo



Clay with Clay Magic clay bar (grey) using Meg's #34 as a lube. Aside from the rear bumper and behind the wheel wells the clay revealed very little in the way of contamination.



Polish with Poorboy's SSR 2.5 using a LC orange pad and my PC set at 5-6.



Polish with Poorboy's PwS using a LC white pad and my PC set at 5-6.



Seal with Poorboy's EX-P by hand with a foam pad. I allowed the EX-P to set on the paint for ~ 15 minutes before removal.



Exterior trim has Meg's #40, rims have PB's Wheel Sealant and tires and wells have AA.

I've seen your work, and you are good. I don't know on this car though. Interior is great, but I think the white paint/overcast day combo made for bad pics. :nixweiss
 
Great job and amazing wet look!!...looking at that interior i can almost smell the leather and that faint new car aroma :bigups

I have this same white on my '01 GT convertible. It is a VERY bright white. If it were sunny, you probably wouldn't see hardly any shine at all in the pics... just blinding white paint. It's been my experience that white photographs best in the shade or at night if you're looking to reveal the shine & gloss of the paint.



I hope you didn't have to work in the sun on this... wouldn't want you to go snowblind!
