2018 Ford Mustang GT - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Professional
Interesting story on this car...
The previous owner only had it 1 year and put 30,000 miles on it.
Tons of swirls marks, Hologram - buffer trails, scratches, etc. It was a mess.
The new owner brought it to me to see if I could "fix" it.
If not, he was planning on doing a complete 5-10 thousand dollar paint job.
I did a small test spot on the trunk and lo and behold the paint was metallic!
Now on to the technical...
Machines:
My weapons of choice are the Rupes Mark II 21 Bigfoot 5"BP and iBrid Nano
Compounds/Polishes:
Recently I've been using Megs M110 and M210 for correction and polishing.
In this case, M110 with microfiber pads barely made a dent in correction.
I had to switch to M101 and the paint now corrected with minimal issues.
Although, M101 had some dusting and left a micro-marring fog. M110 did not.
Even then, the fogging easily cleared up with a quick two-step polishing process.
In short, M101 for correction and M210 with a 5" Rupes Yellow pad for polishing.
I followed M210 with Scholl's S30 on a Carpro Gloss pad for brilliance and clarity.
Convertible top:
completely masked off with a plastic drop cloth during the compounding/polishing.
Ragg Topp Fabric Cleaner with a flat brush and aerosol spray protectant to seal.
Tires:
Coated with OBSSSSD Matte Tire Dressing - for a nice, clean, dark subtle look.
Wheels:
Iron-X, followed with Iron-X snow soap & wheel brushes in a Detailing Outlaws bucket.
Engine Bay:
Cleaned with Multi-X APC followed with Sonus Trim and Motor Kote
This is a favorite of mine. No greasy shine. Just a factory fresh matte finish.
LSP:
Cleaned paint with Eraser and applied two thick coats of Cquartz Professional.
