Freshly Detailed 05 Mustang

Hey guys. Just wanted to share a few pics with all of you of my Torch Red Mustang which I detailed. This is my first "Autopian" detail so let me off a little easy and feel free to make suggestions.

Here was my process

-NXT Wash
-Mothers Clay Bar
-NXT Wash
-Klasse AIO by hand
-Klasse SG by hand
-Waited 24 hours
-Klasse SG by hand
-Waited 24 hours
-Meguiars #16 Professional Paste Wax

I also used Meguiars Hotshine Tire spray (I have better stuff now though). I also AIO'd the wheels but I didn't get any close up shots of them. Since then I have put two more coats of #16 on and it looks great. Beads amazing and is relatively slick. Well, here they are.

nice glossy look.

but, may be your white balance is off on your digital...looks kinda pale...as if the paint is faded...or it might be over exposed....who knows...maybe its my monitor!!

cool car!!

BTW.. a photographers trick is to photograph earlier in morning or later in afternoon when the lighting isnt so harsh!! thats why your car looks so good at dusk!!
