So fellow Local Racing Club Member John contacted me to breath some glowing life back into his Black 2016 Mustang GT Performance Pack with the notoriously difficult to maintain gloss black wheels.
The main thing was to install a nice ceramic coating to not only enhance the looks but to help with day-forward ease of cleaning. The car has a fair share of plastic trim/molding that also had seen it's share of wax and polish from days past that when left in place can be difficult to remove. Adding a nice Trim coating also helps darken it up and preserves that look too.
So all in we selected my Basic Polish & Protect Package with Ceramic Coating install on the painted finish, wheels and trim. Now, onto the pics:
Overall, the marring on the paint wasn't bad and what I consider light. Based on that and maintaining a budget, the above package proved a solid choice.
Process Included:
Wash/Decon both Chemical & Nano Mitt
Polished with both a Flex XCE and 3401
CarPro Essence using Lake Country Orange Hybrid Force and Orange Flat pads
CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0
GYEON Q2 RIM
GYEON Q2 TRIM
Griot's Garage Fine Glass Polish
NeverWet for Glass
Megs Hyper-dressing for tires
