Oakes - Detailed: 2000 Ford Mustang - 26 hours later...

This is a full detail of a 2000 Ford Mustang, this vehicle, both to mine and the owner's knowledge has never been buffed/corrected. The pictures show this very well, however the car is in great cosmetic shape inside and out for being a 10 year old ('99 production date) car. With that being said, the job itself consumed 26 working hours on the vehicle, over the course of 3 days mainly on the exterior.

The owner is getting delivery of a 2010 Camaro SS 6 speed in a few weeks that he asked the dealership not to touch, and hopefully she'll be coming to me instead Without further adieu!

Process:
Menzerna Power Gloss
Menzerna Power Finish 203
Menzerna Final Polish II
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
Optimum Poli-Seal
Collinite's NO.845 Insulator wax

Wheels:
Degreased: Ardex NewWave
Clayed
Mother's Chrome Polish
Optimum Poli Seal
Collinite's NO.845 Insulator wax

Before pictures: Won't consumer much space with these as there are a ton of 50/50 shots




Wheel Before/After



Engine Before/After - 2 hours alone on this


2.



Exhaust Before/After



On to the 50/50 shots, these photos were taken after one side was compounded with the PG and then followed up by the PF203 and FP2. Starting with the trunk:







Now on to the rear quarter panel





Some Fender action




How bout a little bit of the passenger door eh?





Rear Quarter Panel before, roof pillar is unpolished in the AFTER picture.

After, panel polished, roof pillar unpolished


Let's get some light reflection shots to show the lack of swirls/RIDS, these are after the polishing!







Glaze being applied, look at the uniform application, it's like I do this often or something...



Some finished reflection photos









Everyone likes some interior photos right?

Passenger before/after



Rear Passenger before/after



Rear Driver before/after



Center console, with the cupholder removed, before/after



Door handle before/after



A finished, clean dashboard


License Plate before/after



Unfortunately, like every other day this week, it's raining outside so my favorite exterior photos will have to wait until it gets picked up. Hopefully these will do, don't worry, I'm just as disappointed but hey, can't win em all right?










Day Pics!

I sure wish you'd pay as much attention to me as you do these cars. I feel like our relationship is fading. You just don't look at me the same way anymore. When I come home, I know you're not really sleeping...I know you're just pretending until I cry myself to sleep. How did we get this way? Was it something I said...something I did? You know you're my everything. Please don't lose faith in us.

Oh, and a STELLAR ****ing job as usual. I'm seriously thinking I need to come down for a weekend so you can work on one of my cars. These threads always blow me (away). *muwah*
