2000 Mustang

Ford Fanatic
Here’s the wifes 2000 mustang that is just put about 22 hours into the outside. I bought it for her about a year ago, and other than waxing twice a year, I haven’t really had the time to work on it. She asked me to buff her mustang, so I said of course. Boy I did not know what I was getting myself into. The paint was trashed. The clear coat is failing in places, the door has been repainted and they did a terrible job at it, the paint is actually pealing off in places. The hood and trunk looks like someone had taken a rake to it. I ended up wet sanding the hood in a few places and the entire trunk.

My Process:

Degreased under the hood, door jambs, trunk jambs, and wheel wells with purple power.
Meg’s Wheel Brightener on the rims
Meg’s Extreme Tire Shine on the tires
Dawn Wash
3M’s 1000,1500,2000 grit wet sand
Meg’s #105 on CCS Yellow Pad
Meg’s #205 on CCS White Pad
Meg’s #3 on CCS Black Pad
Meg’s #21 on CCS Red Pad
NXT 2.0 Tech Wax on CCS Red Pad
Alcohol Wipe Down between polishes
Armor All New formula on convertible top
Invisible Glass
Steel Wool on Chrome

I will try to get some sunshine shots this afternoon:
 
I hope she was happy with the turn around, looks sooooo much better. I could not tell the rims were chrome in the before shot. Looks like you missed a spot on the rear, that big blue oval spot.:rofl Really nice job sfu.
 
Really nice outcome. The white does shine!

Now to point out something Steve always points out to me.
(the wheel wells dude, do the wheel wells)

Yeah Yeah I know, I was dragging but when I finished and totally forgot to dress them.

That's exactly how I fell.
I'm so beat by the end of it. But you know nobody else would notice it, but by the angles you get in the pics it shows up.
 
Looks Good as Usual sfu...:bigups


You do realize if you get back in this "game" you will eventually have to Detail a Chevy.:notme:
