This car was detailed right after delivery at my old shop. Classic case of dealer induced swirls & factory contamination that pretty much every Mustang that comes out of Dearborn Assembly has. My old shop Manager Ted & I knocked this one out together. We 1st gave the exterior and engine compartment a blasting from our pressure washer. Then the exterior got treated with Ford’s Acid & Alkaline Neutralizer (ABC Wash) with Dawn being the final shampoo. Once the paint was clean, everything got clayed with AM blue Clay Magic. We insured that every square inch of the exterior was smooth and contaminant free before polishing. We used the cellophane from a pack of cigarettes to magnify any paintwork bumps. All the cracks & crevices were blown out to avoid water run out while polishing. Befores: A couple of In-Process pics: We opted to do 3 Alcohol wipe downs instead of re-washing. This gave us enough assurance that the surface was free of polishing oil/residue to promote proper sealant bonding. We chose Zaino for all the protective duties. Multiple layers of ZFX’d Z5 & Z2 were applied. Finals:
That looks like the same color blue my wifes Fusion is, I love the flake, great job on the recovery..
Looks Good :applause: I do have 1 question, why did you use a pressure washer on a brand new engine/compartment. :gasp:
Great job Dave, glad to see you posting over here. I still owe you an engine pic of the Shelby GT500.
Great looking detail! Boy, I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that. I had no idea a Mustang GT was a $37K car.
i love how the water repels off the paint ..looks like art like the prep work u did also fantastic ..post some more real detailing thank u
Great work as always Dave... You were in town? Oh yeah, they moved the assembly of this vehicle to the Flatrock Auto Alliance plant.. Kind of strange that it's not assembled in Dearborn anymore... the F150 is now assembled in the new(er) Dearborn truck plant
