2008 Mustang - If M205 were a woman, I'd leave my wife.

[DefiningDetails]

Hopefully my wife doesn't read that...

This car belongs to the wife of a good client of mine; the agreement was a single-step polish exterior, with full interior. The expectations were for some minor swirls and imperfections to be bettered or corrected.

My prep process was... well, my process was the same as all my other cars that I have spent stupid hours writing up, so yah, there was a process, I promise.

My first combo against my taped off test area was M205/Orange via PC; I've done a lot of Mustang's before, but this was my first time only doing a single-step polish on one. Hot diggity damn, the 205/orange was on fire tonight!









The 205/Orange was a homerun on this particular car, knocking out more than I ever could have hoped for with a single-step, and finishing out just perfect.

The sun peeked out for about 5 minutes right when I had finished the drivers side; I pulled it out for a quick inspection in the sun.






Next up was the rear bumper; beauty. Tip of the day: make sure they're unconscious before you go stuffing them in the trunk



This was the only spot on the car that I compounded; 105/orange x 2 passes, followed up with M205/orange - better than I expected! Less evidence that you stuffed someone in your trunk against their will:



Now you see it:



Now you pretty much don't




Tail lights had some swirling going on; combo of the day took care of them no problem as well! Before:



After:




Now onto the part that I was just so excited to get to... nothing gets me in a great mood like a perfectly maintained interior:





(End sarcasm here)


2 hours later:








And to end the day, some cloudy reflections with a layer of CG Butter Wax:






And the shots of the day:






Thank you for watching And for the record, I don't condone stuffing people into the trunk of your car.

Nice!!!!! What was the process on the carpet?

Wow! You worked a miracle on the floor mat.

Are you sure that's not a new one someone just slipped in there?

Ha, client said the same thing. That is my trade secret; when in doubt, just replace things with brand new stuff and tell people you got it that clean

The process on the mats were soaking in a mix of Bissell LGCM solution and Optimum Power clean APC, agitating with a brush after 5 minutes or so, then power washing, followed by extracting the leftover water with my LGCM.

On the floor carpeting / salt stains, I spray everything down with the Bissell / OPC mix, agitated with a brush then extracted with the LCGM + hot water.

Thanks DJ!

Thanks to everyone else too. Not a very flashy or sought after car but I still take pride in spicing it up a little

[Apollo_Auto]

Wow, that combo worked great! And the inside... that crappy, easily-stained tan Ford carpet came out fantastic!

[MobileJay]

that combo did damn good, as well as the interior. nice job looks great

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Maybe one day I will try the new Megs stuff...........

[DefiningDetails]

Thanks guys. Patrick, I'd give it a go if I were you. 105 and 205 shave HOURS off of a full correction job, and they let you bang out single-steps like this in a lot less time than your traditional Menz / older megs polishes.
