A full detail of a 2007 Ford Mustang GT with a few extras on it. I personally love this color, however it hides a lot of is extremely difficult to get pictures of with the metallic flake. I tried my best with getting good photos, however I was in a crunch for time and decided to focus on the quality of the job instead. (which always comes first anyway)

I did manage after 2 long days of workin on the car, while being very sore from the previous two cars, to squeeze a few off. This particular Mustang is putting out 550+ hp and makes a good amount of noise! It's also for sale! I was told I didn't have to go crazy on this car, but knowing me, I did anyway. Since it was being prepped for the same show as the 2010 GT (seen here: 2010 Thread ) I figured it'd be best, enough of my babble - onto the pics!

Process:
Full degrease/wash - Clay bar
Menzerna Power Gloss - Orange pad
Menzerna Power Finish (203) - Green Pad
Optimum Poli-Seal - cured overnight
Collinite's No.845 Insulator Wax
Redbull and some good music.

Engine bay was NOT cleaned, however it has this oversized alternator in it ;)

Good job as usually.

The car however, hate the wheels, hood and headlights.

One of my favorite Mustang colors. Nice job, Nick

Thanks guys! As far as burnouts, if you let that clutch out too fast it might start doing them on it's own haha
