After getting the owners Ford GT and Lexus done, we looked over this car. He was just wanting a Wash, Clay, Seal and Wax like his Ford GT got, but I was able to convince him that even as little as a 1-Step Polish would go a long ways on this car. After a little convining, I got him to let me do a test spot and when he saw the difference just a quick 1-Step Polish made, he was fine with doing the whole car. So after starting pretty late in the day, I went ahead and knocked it out.
Just did a Wash, Clay, 1-Step, Seal, Wax and the Chrome Bumpers sealed. Since this thing did not have the top on, just went with a waterless wash on it in the garage to clean it up prior to buffing.
Before, kinda hard to tell, this was a great 20 footer. Paint was slightly faded and the scratches were hard to capture.
Process on the T-Bird
Washed w/ ONR
Clayed w/ Pinn Ultra Poly Clay w/ ONR Lube
Buffed w/ SIP via Flex DA w/ Uber Orange
Small Areas w/ D300 via GG DA w/ 3" Microfiber Disc
Sealed w/ Blackfire Wet Diamond
Wiped Down w/ Hybrid V7
Waxed w/ Blackfire Midnight Sun
Condition of the paint, so areas were better than others. Some had very light scratches were some, had a considerable amount more.
After everything was done.
Inside the garage before the owner pulled it half way up his driveway into the sun.
Now outside into the sun, owner was beyond happy. Was amazed that a simple polish could make it look so much better. He even told me he knew it was going to come out good, but not that good.
Couple sun shots outside.
While I was working on the Thunderbird, the owners business partner stopped buy in his vette to see what I think needed to be done on it. Owner will be dropping it off at my shop in the coming weeks.
Owner contacted me about coming to his house and getting some of his cars looked at and some work done on them. Ford GT is new with only 1000 miles on it. Owner just wanted a Wash, Clay, Sealant and Wax on the paint to get it look good. Next time, he will be wanting to get the paint polished to the standards of the Black GT I just did.
