the previous owner left the car sitting outside for the last 6 years. the paint was in horrible shape but my customer bought the car anyway. he was attracted to its low, low miles. all it needed was a really nice detail. with some patience & lots of love making with the rotary machine i was able to bring the Stang back from the dead & give it a new life.
i was wrestling with the paint as it was completely covered in heavy swirl marks & a few strange looking dull spots. i found some buffer trails on the hood as well from some ol hack detailer from the past. the nose, roof & entire drivers side had very hard water stains in the paint. they were a pain to remove but i was able to get them all out.
every tight area like between the rear bumper & quarter panel, moldings, badges had a heavy dirt buildup.
the swirls were removed about 98%, as close to perfection as i could get it!
i wish i had a pic of Craigs face when he came to pick the car up. he had a big smile from ear to ear, he was
really excited when he got to the shop.
anyway, lets get to the good stuff.
ill let the pics do most of the talking...
the famous list of madness!

all gold vinyl striping was only polished, not compounded.
polished then treated with 1Z Einszett Glanz Wax
some depressing before shots =(

compounded, polished & applied 1Z to both rain guards

drivers mirror was stained, passenger mirror wasn't stained. looks like the car was in its worst shape on the drivers side. the passenger side was not as bad but still a bit of a challenge to say the least lol.
