Customer of mine wanted to get his Mustang cleaned up for the new owner. Drove a good two hour drive to the owners work to get it done. After looking at the car, it was settled on my 2-Step package which lands anywhere from 85-100% correction. Since Mustang paints are pretty easy to work with, I knew I was going to get around 95-100% correction. Customer also wanted to get the engine bay sprayed and dressed just so it looks better than it did. Also wanted to have the exhaust cleaned as for some reason it was starting to rust/tarnish.
While working, I knew I was not going to be able to get it finished in a reasonable time for the owner to get home. So I called in some help from Joey(smoknfastlegend) to help me get this finished in time. Once Joey was there, he knocked out the window louvers and a-pillars while I kept going with the Rotary. Then followed behind with M205 to make sure no holograms were being left and to gloss the paint. So with his help was able to finish out in about 4 hours after he got their.
