First time detail!!(Lots of pics)

**naza** · 03-25-2011, 12:00 AM

Well, its finally done(exterior)!! It was my first time ever using a PC and all these products, but I have to say it was really fun!!

Took me a total of 14hrs on a 4 day span.
1. Rinsed the car
2. Cleaned wheels with zep citrus 4:1
3. 2 BM(glossworkz)
4. Dried
5. M105 w/yellow pad
6. IPA
7. M205 w/green pad
8. IPA
9. Blacklight 2 coats
10. V7

I used the PC 7346(same as 7424) very easy to use once you start getting used to it.

Glossworkz, all I have to say is woow!! This shampoo is so smooth and it gives you a nice glossy finish!! Very impressed with it!

M105 and M205 great combo, it definitely does its job. The only downside is all the dust, but oh well lol.

Blacklight and v7 it gives you that wow finish! Great product! Didnt top it off with the AGHD(probably doing it next time) but it gives a vibrant finish!

Showroom white pearl, gives you a niche shine. My tires are old so shine doesnt last very long haha.

I would say i got about 75% corrected.

So what is next?? When should I do this again?? From now on just do a regular weekly wash and top it with the quick detailer? What other products should I buy??

If you see something thats wrong or I can do better please let me know! I really wanna learn!
I know I know, pics or GTFO!!

This is what is was getting from claying, not too bad

After

Thanks for looking!!

Awesome job brother. I wish had such a grasp of the concepts and techniques with my first details. Kudos to you, you can only get better, and more diverse from here! Keep it up!

All I can think of are you wheel wells and barrels. Otherwise......you stumped me....GREAT job.

If you just get bored and want to clean something, you can do your suspension components and engine (if you havent already). I know im always looking for something to clean....it's good therapy for me.

I have to say you're very quickly getting the hand of automotive detailing. I think the car looks spectacular and red is one of those colors that really glows!!

Great looking Mustang!!

Wow you really made your Stang POP. i love that body style too nice ride!
as for your question when is the next time you should do it again, well, if you are 100% happy with the results it should be a good year or 2. if the car is washed and dried properly and not sent through automatic car washes your swirl free paint should stay swirl free.
