    2006 Mustang GT in black

    Client had his parents drop this off, he is in the midst of a divorce and wanted it cleaned so when the dust settles he can sell it. Nice ride, 2006, 33k on it, full exhaust, no cats, short throw shifter and Shaker system!
    Car was BEAT up, I had all the time in the world so it got Uber'd finished with Rupes white pads/gel, Wolfgang polish enhancer, WGDGPS and topped with Fuzion. Tires got the Turtle Wax tire coating, 4 coats, wheels and exhaust got buffed with Mothers Aluminium polish. Also did a full engine detail and interior cleaning.

    Wheels got Sonax, tires got Tuff Coat tire cleaner, wells were APC'ed.
    Megs Gold Class wash followed by nano-skin fine grade towel.

    Here is the car on drop off:










    After the wash I pulled into the garage to check and see what I had to work with, didn't look so bad:



    Lets add some light:
    Hello!



    I started with Rupes yellow/yellow and things looked good:


    I thought I could do better so I switched to Uber on a Cyan pad with the Flex. Moved to a new test spot:




    After Uber and white rupes:





    Exhaust and tail end were up:
    Polish the tips:






    There were some RIDS on the hood and roof that took a little exta umph, so out came the foamed wool:






    Button up the engine:


    Just about done:



    Before they arrived I did a waterless wash as it had sat for days in the garage, here it is on pickup:





    Thanks for looking, was by far the longest detail I have done but dang, it was shining!

    Anyone looking, it is for sale!!

    Beautiful work and nice presentation for the customer...open the hood and let him see that beast all cleaned up! I'm guessing the wife will see it and tell her attorney "i WANT that car!".

    I have always enjoyed those kind of jobs when you have multiple consecutive days to wield your magic. No rush to get it by say 8-9 am and then be pressed to do 2 days work in 1 and deliver it at 5 pm.

    Is that some type of skin puncture on about the 8th pic in the middle?

    That was the washer nozzle on the hood with some awesome scratches around it! It was nice, I had it for about 3 weeks since he is in Tennessee and I am in Ohio and he wasn't rushed. I did other work around his which was nice.

    Not sure how he is going to work around the wife not getting it, my GF didn't want it to leave!

    thanks for the compliments!
