2011 Shelby Mustang Enhancement Detail

Hi guys

I have a 2011 Shelby mustang in for an Enhancement detail (one last time before I'm moving to California ). Car was very dirty and the paint was looking very sorry. There was lots tar on the lower panels, anyways I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Here's was the process

  • Wheels and Tires clean with strong dilution of APC
  • Presoak with OPC 5:1 and Foamed
  • Rinse and wash with 2BM
  • Paint was contaminated chemically and with clay
  • Rinse and IPA
  • Polish with Meg 205
  • Paint/glass cleanse with BF gloss enhancer
  • Paint for BFWD
  • Glass and wheel got Opti-seal
  • Interior wipe down and vacuum

Just a thought but it looks like you are applying a lot of pressure with your fingers with your clay bar. Just judging by the photo. Car looks great by the way! Great photography too.

BTW I was using a Ricarrdo fine clay, its a fine clay and its very pry-able...maybe that why? cause all my other clay stays flat..

Ah well I was taught it should look like a pancake with uniform pressure. Not a dig, just wondering if you noticed. I know it some tricky spots I apply more pressure to fingertips.

Agreed the finer the clay it will take shape much easier.

Thanks Mark!

I use the Griots Garage DA 6 in and 3 in polisher(s). I used a green polishing pad to achieve these results.
