'94 Supercharged Thunderbird - 2 Step Paint Correction by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island NY

Not the typical car you get called for. 1994 Supercharged Ford Thunderbird. Custom interior with a 1 year old full repaint on the exterior. Owner is a big time Ford enthusiast prepping this car for a long ride to Kentucky for a Ford Supercar event. I was happy to rise to the occasion.

I had given the car a prior inspection, and it was pretty swirled up So I knew what I was in for. I mean this car was big. They dont make them like this anymore. We booked a 2 step correction and I put aside 2 days on the schedule.

Started with the usual wash / decon / clay bar routine. Was kind of in a rush as the sun was going down so no photos.

In the morning I started by taking some paint measurements (plenty of clear on the car) and taping up all the trim




Closed the garage, turned on the LED lights, and turned off the fluros. I could see it was gonna be a long day.

The hood before



And up close




Compound of choice on the day was Meguiars M100

Hood was first gone over with

Makita 9227c + 3m waffle foam + M100

The remainder of the car, along with a second pass on the hood, was done with

Flex 3401 + Megs MF pads + M100
Griots + Megs MF pads + M100


Finishing work:

Flex / Griots + LC White + Menz Power Finish


Results as follows....





We'll start with just the hood

After

Trunk lid







After the 2 step correction, vehicle was given a quick wash to remove all the dust. A coat of Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant was then applied

Even application as shown




The swipe test after a long battle




Buffed off the sealant and took in the wow factor

That looks great! The paint was hammered for being 1yr old.

 

Sweet Job Bryan that ride looks great . The color and those wheels look awesome . Thanks to the work you did.

 

great job! I would agree the wheels go well on that car.

 

this goes to show u that if take care of it ,it will take care of you

 

I had a friend in college who had an '89 Thunderbird. I cannot tell you how many times that damn thing left us stranded! But this one is obviously in a very different league!

 

Up hear when you tell them it will be 2-3 days to get done for 2-3 step polish they freek I wont it in one day all done.
I Rig trucks for Oil fields and farms trucks.

 

Although most people don't like being without their car for that long, I like to present it as I need that much time to deliver the results they're expecting and paying for. You need 2-3 days to get the job done correctly without rushing. If they can't do it, thats fine and we do what we can in 1 day.

 

Nice work
