Good job, nice reflection. The engine compartment could use some CD2.

Nice work on the Cobra, although, I have a question? Why did you not clean the wheel wells? I know you spent a vast amount of time cleaning the Cobra.

That is the best demo of the color change capability of the Mystichrome paint I've ever seen.

Can I put a link to your thread over on SVT?

I don't get it. :confused: Which picture are you refering to? I cleaned them using the Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush combined with some Meguiar's APC. What you might see is a very deep area that I wasn't able to reach with the Chemical Guys Black Forever. Everything was perfectly clean.

The pictures don't give credit to the engine. The DP engine degreaser + 303 protectant gave 99.9% perfect results.

Gah, ya'll are busting his balls about the process.

I'm more shocked the car was THAT bad in only 5 years/6k miles.

My car is the same age (Redfire) with nearly 3x's that mileage and has only been polished once. I can't imagine what this car was washed with...geez. Massive swirlage!

Results look great! I would NOT use anything on the engine bay either. Clean and 'factory' just like you did is proper. Spraying greasy crap all over the bay screams "used car" on a car of this nature.
