I did this car for a client this past summer. I think it had around 50,000 miles on it. Nice car but just needed freshened up, as it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Between the one I owned and others, I had a few Mustang details this year. Not sure what that's all about, but hey, I'll take it!! lol
Here are a few of the before shots that I took. Pretty dirty....
After I de-grimed and washed the engine, I started off with the usual shampoo wash and clay. I couldn't do much with the convertible top as far as brightening. However, I did get it cleaner with PB's APC and a stiff bristled scrub brush. Once all washed, dried and free of pesky water hiding in nooks and cranny's, I was ready to start correcting and polishing, but before that I like to add a coat of Wheel Sealant to all the wheels and let it dry while I polish. That gives me time to let it dry and add a couple coats. I didn't want to go real heavy with the correction but still get a majority of the swirls out. I did this with my PC7424 and white pad with SSR2.5. After that I used SSR2.5 again but with a black pad this time. That really finishes off nicely. Although, I wanted more. So, I grabbed another black pad and used the almighty Pro Polish for the mirror finish. That is one of my favorite products to use, it just yields great shine. I always like to use Black Hole glaze, especially on these darker colored cars. It just fills in nicely and has a fantastic look. I'll admit... between the great scent and fantastic results, Black Hole is very addicting whether the finish needs it or not! :drool:
I finished off this Red Stallion with Natty's Red Paste Wax and PB Spray 'n Gloss to catch any left over wax residue. Just can't go wrong with that as a last step. :bigups
