I received an email about two weeks ago from a guy who wanted his new Mustang corrected and coated. We met up for a look over of his car and settled on just that. He asked me to remove the dealer sticker and install bumper plugs as well.
I apologize for the lack of correction & 50/50 pictures, I was having serious difficulty getting my camera to focus on anything the day I worked on it.
I found the paint to be very soft, which is not what I expected. 205 was leaving marring on its own so I had to dial the speed down and even use a little water on the pads to soften up the cut.
Dealer sticker was removed by heating up the letters and peeling them off. The residue was removed with Tar X and a microfiber. I polished the area afterwards to remove the ghosting left by the sticker.
The bumper plugs were very easy to install, I just needed to drill two 9/32” holes to make the existing ones bigger to fit the plugs in.

It always pained me to have to drill into front bumper covers at my dad`s car Lot when installing the front plate brackets.
