Whats up guys, one of my good friends wanted me to do his 03, so I gladly went down and did the car. It had been sitting for a while, so it needed a light clay, and the wheels needed a lot of work, the chrome was just starting to pit (a very very small amount which came out) and I ended up spending about an hour on the wheels alone!!! Other than that, the car was in great shape, dusty on the inside as you will see, and some marring on the fenders/trunklid, but other than that, it was incredibly clean, and is simply one of my favorite cars to date!!!



Exterior:

-GC Wash/Pinnacle's Ultra Poly Clay (fine grade)

-Wheels got scrubbed with NXT/APC 10:1 along with the tires

-Tips/Wheels polished with Mothers (and my own blood and sweat smokin_ )

-Optimum Compound via Orange pad (Hood only!)

-Optimum Polish via Orange (only done on hood, and one or two problem areas)

-Vanilla Moose via White LC pad

-Clearkote's Caranuba Moose via Black pad

-Door jambs/trunk jamb got an ONR bath

-Tires are wearing AA Gel



Interior:

-APC 10:1 bath lol

-Pinnacle's Vinyl/Rubber Protectant

-Stoners IG on all glass

-Pinnacle's Leather Cleaner

-Pinnacle's Leather Conditioner

-Mats got shampooed with APC 4:1/Extracted



Onto the pictures....(I post the products and processes mainly to give you guys an idea of the kind of materials I use, hope ya dont mind :shrug: )

Lol, then you would have hated this one, he's running a DFX...talk about stiff rofl
 
You always get the SWEETEST Mustangs to detail. DSG is my favorite Ford color, and will definitely be the color I pick up when I trade the GT in for a terminator.



Awesome job on the detail. I like the sheen that the Pinnacle vinyl/rubber protectant leaves on the interior pieces. Great job. Whats the car got under the hood? Stock eaton??
 
No worries about the 3 P's - products, process and pictures! That to me is the real value of this board. There's no better info than seeing what some of us use on certain makes/models.



That is an unbelievably stunning color and car. Nice work brotha.

Yea I drove my cousin's Cobra when I was 14(15 now almost 16). The clutch was pretty stiff, but maybe it is because I was 14.



Nice Job. Looks perfect.

Not quite! Look closer :p



Thanks guys!
 
I spy a big nasty intercooler..........he should paint it with some black radiator paint, no heat transfer issues. Must have a CF supercharger, or a turbo??



Nice work by the way!!!
 
Excellent work. Buddy has one in the same color. KB car..
