Oakes - Detailed: 2010 Mustang GT - Show Prep - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

This is a full detail of a 2010 Mustang GT in Grabber Blue. The vehicle had never been touched in regards to the paint/protection and has mostly sat outside for the past few months. The bright paint is extremely difficult to capture the spider webbing defects that were taken care of as seen in the sunlight reflection photos. I was asked to do this car in preparation for a car show this Sunday as well as a 550+ hp 2007 Mustang GT that was dropped off when the 2010 GT was picked up tonight. With that said, I'm gettin back to work!

Process:
Full vehicle rinse and degrease
Wash - APC used on wheels
Full clay bar using HydroGloss
Menzerna Final Polish II - Green pad
Menzerna 203 Power Finish on Orange pad on flats
Optimum Poli Seal - cured for 4 hours
Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax
Rewash - Pure Carnuaba spray wax
