October Entry vs. 1987 Mustang GT

Anyways, I recieved this 1987 Mustang GT from my neighbour, who I had recently done a Altima for last weekend. He really only wanted a wash and wax, but he's a really good guy, so I almost felt obligated to give him a little more than he bargained for. Quoted from the owner, "It needs a repaint, so if you could, just wash her and do the interior for me." Well, I'm sure that since he uses it as a work car, he won't need it repainted, as I think it looks just fine as is.

I learned on this detail that:

a.) oxidation is a ***** on pads
b.) buy more pads
c.) plan longer time periods when working with oxidization.

Processes for exterior:

-Wash
-Clay
-XPCompound with Wool pad at 1200rpm
-Poorboys SSR 2.5
-Meguiars #82 on polishing pad via PC at 6
-SSR1 by PC on finishing pad
-Topped with NXT
-Topped by Collonite.
-Rims were cleaned with mineral spirits, and varsol, topped with AIO
-Glass was cleaned with SprayWay glass/mirror cleaner
-Tires got my new favourite water based dressing "Dress It Right"
-Trim was quickly dressed with "quick shine" by spray wax, but it won't last, the trim is finished.

Interior:

-Vacuum
-Scrub
-Extract
-Spot treat
-APC on interior vinyl
-Dressed with Meguiars Natural Shine (nice matt finish)

Here ya go, befores:

Dear lord, it's resale value just went up 2x as much. He should sell it now, it's as clean as it ever will be. A new windshield and that car is good to go.

Great work, I'm very impressed.

Thats amazing. I'm dreading the swirls on my dad's explorer (he went in 50/50 with me on the detailing stuff for me doing his car), i'm happy not to have to work on that kind of oxidation. My grandparents used to have a mustang from a year close to that and thatt was a long time ago. Is that original paint?
