Have a car show coming up next Thursday and was planning on picking up my Mustang from the body shop and spending the week detailing her. Through a series of unfortunate events, it doesn't look like I will be able to pick her up until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Since I am on somewhat of a time constraint, I doubt I will get as in depth as I would like with the cleaning. The whole car has been buffed, only the front and rear bumpers have been painted, so overall the paint is going to be in good shape. I was thinking of just running over her with some Optimum Poli Seal then putting a coat of Fuzion on her. Normally it would be a full on attack with the WG line, but I do have to dedicate SOME time to the rest of the car!

Anyone tried this combo?

Oh wow, those pics make my stomach frown...

The car got buffed because it had somewhere, somehow, gotten overspray on it. And my buddy that runs the shop is more OCD than I am when it comes to cars and cleanliness. He is the only person I would trust running ANYTHING over my car.

My wife's car was the same way after a repair. They asked if I was happy and I said, "Are you kidding me? NO! I'm not happy! This is a joke!" They offered to redo it and I laughed, took the keys, went home and did it myself.
