I see you have some work ahead of you.

[Nica]

Man that car needs some work...looking forward to the write up and the pictures.

By the way I like the 50/50 shot...looks wicked.

God speed..

Gotta post quick cause I'm dead tired from this detail and going to sleep haha. I did the wash, degrease, wheels, tires, clay, engine detail in 2ish hours yesterday night.

Today I woke up at 7 to buff it for what I though would only take 5 hours, but really took 8, ugh, what a pain this car was.

I did:

CG's Citrus Wash N' Gloss
Meg's Chenile ultra plush wash mitts
Amazing roll off full strength on the wheels and tires
dry with guzzler
4* clay
yellow 4" edge 2k pads with pc 7424 at speed 6 with OC
green 4" edge 2k pads with pc 7424 at speed 5-6 with OP
white 4" edge 2k pad with pc 7424 at speed 4 with CK CMW
sonus, cobra, danase mf toweling
CK quik shine on glass
optimum tire shine on trim and tires (love the stuff for trim)

Well, we also had a new oe painted rear bumper to replace the trashed stock one as you will see from the before pics. My detail matches a fresh painted bumper on a 99 with 75K miles, I'm happy. :D

BEFORES:

X Box

[supercharged]

Awesome detail, bro! Did you gbet rid of "XBOX" scratches?
I though that xbox is actually for Scion Xb?:D

[scottgt]

great job

[klumzypinoy]

Dude who the heck wrote that XBOX on the car! You turned that Mustang around. Now she's a black beauty.

X2 on if the XBOX scratch is gone.

[davet]

Great turnaround on the Mustang.
Well Done.

Xbox for all intents and purposes is gone, it was lightly keyed one night by some a-hole when my buddie Mike had his Stang parked out in a Best Buy parking lot. I'm going to wetsand it soon though.

Thanks for the comments guys, this car soaked up the Carnauba moose wax like no other. :)

[BanditSRT]

Wow great turn around!

[Nica]

Well done Nimble, wow that vehicle looks amazing. The turn around is great, the vehicle looks really wet...wow.

I was going to ask if you had to wetsand the Xbox....dude that is just wrong, gets me going when I see people do things like that.....rrrr...

Good job!!

[Nimble]

Nica-

I've only wetsanded once, but the polishing lightened it so much that I think going over it once with the sandpaper should do the trick. Thanks for the nice comments too, appreciate it after a hard day's work. :)
