Black Mustang Convertible brought back to life

[imported_RZJZA80]

Here is a Mustang I worked on last week. As the pics will show, it's the worst car condition wise that I've worked on. Deep key marks on the right side from the rear bumper to the front, RIDS, swirls on every inch of the car, shopping cart scratches on the rear bumper, you name it, it had it.



Here's my process:



Exterior:

Gold Class wash

Megs white clay bar

Megs 85 with 4" LC yellow on Makita at 1800rpm

Megs 80 with 7" LC black on Makita at 1000rpm

Wash again as above

Klasse AIO with 4" LC black on PC at speed 4

Megs 26 Liquid wax by hand



Interior:

Megs leather cleaner and conditioner spray

303 Aerospace Protectant



Tires and wheels:

Megs endurance tire shine and Megs APC to clean both



Some before pics:

Here's the key marks along the entire right side:

Here's the bumper scratches from a shopping cart:

after claying, taped up and ready for battle:

Here are the after pics (sunlight was quickly fading):

remember those shoping cart scratches?

the key marks are all but gone, only the bits down to the metal can be seen:

heavy hail damage on the hood:

Man that car is beaten for how old it is, nice scratch removal, most of it anyways.



Did you go back and do the wheel wells?

I joined it but I don't think I've ever made a post there, it was just for reading up on products. I use Megs a lot because it's readily available for me at the local paint shop 10 minutes away from the shop, and they work well.
