GOT PREP?
A few weeks ago I got a call from a now friend of mine (I have done work for him in the past) Alan, who owns www.speedofsoundllc.com, he needed me to prep two Mustangs for him. The cars would both be present if Speed of Sound’s display booth at the World Ford Challenge. I love detailing for this guy, he is always appreciative of my work, the working conditions are always pleasant, and he is a genuine “car guy.�
First up was a car that belonged to a friend of his, this car had been fitted with many one off parts from the speed of sound shop. This car is serious; I believe he ran a low 10 second ¼ mile at the WFC. The owner had recently painted his hood and rear trunk in his garageâ€â€�I have to tell you it looked better than 95% of the junk that comes out of body shops around here. It just needed a little wet sanding to remove some trash in the clear and to level out the OP. It really looked great before I even touched it. The rest of the car had moderate swirls, but nothing too severeâ€â€�it was very clean.
*DISCLAIMER* I don’t have a ton of before pics, and my after pics aren’t a true representation of the work. I am not trying to deceive anyone; I just got in a rush and didn’t have the time to take the proper angles, etc. In other words, these are just some neat pics of a pretty cool project, and an even cooler car. These pics certainly aren't good before and afters.
NOTE: The “good afters� were taken by a professional photographer, he was awesome.
Anyways, the process for the bullit was:
Wash
Clay
Wet sand hood and truck with Meguiars unigrit papers. 1500 on the rough spots, 3000 on the entire hood/trunk.
HT EC via rotary @1500 RPM’s with an orange LC pad
FP II via cyclo and white cyclo pads
WG QD wipedown
WG sealant
Before:
Here is during the sanding process:
After:
