DetailedByPrecision 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Brand new car extremely damaged paintwork. Paint Correction Ceramic Coating Auto Detailing San Francisco

[DetailedByPrecision]

The owner of this car is a true car enthusiasts like us, very informed, watches Larry @ Ammo, Matt @ OG, so expectations were extremely high right off the bat. The car was on an open bed truck from South Dakota to San Francisco. The color of the car is black which does not help, plenty of scratches, swirls, factory defects, some irreparable which you guys will see later. I gave a 2 week estimate of finishing the job which was 3 step paint correction, cquartz ceramic coating, remove oem factory white vinyl racing stripes. After I completed the whole front end, the owner took the car to another shop to have the whole front end protected with xpel ppf. Afterwards brought back to me so I can finish the rest of my part and get ready to present the car.

Water spots, swirls, scratches, factory sanding scratch or burn????

I was really cautious when polishing this area because I did not want to be the person that ultimately strikes through the paint attempting to fix another persons problem. I used least aggressive and worked my way up to a mild compound. Thankfully it came out and the owner was able to go forward with xpel pff the whole hood.

These 2 burns were not fixable on passenger upper door. One of it was a bad attempt at spot filling a fish eye, other burn was a scratch.

When the owner arrived to pick it up he was very grateful I took care of his pride and joy. I earned his trust and respect because he chose me out of so many options and I delivered the results. This job made me feel genuinely appreciated which this industry lacks due to a low overhead start up, and lack of experienced detailers. Thanks for viewing my work.

GT350 paint is by far one of the worst paint systems Ford has. For some reason, and I've yet to be educated as to why, but every GT350 I've seen or spoken to other detailers about has awful paint which is prone to defects easily. I'm thinking the vehicle goes down a different line than the other Mustangs? Perhaps Ford put more engineering into the race aspect of the car vs. the paint.

Anyway, you did an amazing job. I'm sure every day was a documented game plan of attack. Looks amazing.

Nice save! Very tasteful that he had you remove those decals.

Nice save! Fish eye? Sounds like the panel was repainted before the sale.

Great save man!

I have only done one new GT350 which was a mineral gray/pewter color. Paint was in a great shape and didn't need much work.

Great save! And it looks like the previous owner had some body damage on it that had a marginal at best repair job

[Mike Phillips]

Nice work, great photography and pro results!

Cool car to work on too!

[TopBlissGT]

The GT350 has the same paint systems as every other Mustang. Ive seen many GT350's and the paint is as nice as any other Ford vehicle. Its not bad for the most part. I think you just got a bad one that has had neglect or prior damage

[Kamakaz1961]

Just an incredible save! Awesome work! Love the GT350! Keep on rocking!

[Sizzle Chest]

Nice work and such a save! Owner can now be proud of his vehicle! Well done.
