Oakes - Detailed: 2010 Mustang GT - Show Prep

OakesDetail · 07-16-09, 06:24

This is a full detail of a 2010 Mustang GT in Grabber Blue. The vehicle had never been touched in regards to the paint/protection and has mostly sat outside for the past few months. The bright paint is extremely difficult to capture the spider webbing defects that were taken care of as seen in the sunlight reflection photos. I was asked to do this car in preparation for a car show this Sunday as well as a 550+ hp 2007 Mustang GT that was dropped off when the 2010 GT was picked up tonight. With that said, I'm gettin back to work!

Process:
Full vehicle rinse and degrease
Wash - APC used on wheels
Full clay bar using HydroGloss
Menzerna Final Polish II - Green pad
Menzerna 203 Power Finish on Orange pad on flats
Optimum Poli Seal - cured for 4 hours
Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax
Rewash - Pure Carnuaba spray wax

Super job, but those wheels have got to go.

Yeah, those wheels are lame. I like the new front and rear ends. I can also see how that color hides swirls easily and shows water spots easily, but I can tell you corrected everything out.
Fun looking detail!

add some black racing stripes and a shaker hood and you have the baddest new stang out there for apperance wise I love that color. I wish they would bring back all the hugger colors stock again..

Thanks guys! Agreed on the wheels, but the owner also owns a Mustang tuning/performance shop. The car won't be stock for long, nor will the wheels, I just pulled in their 07 GT pushing around 600hp to the wheels iirc. Thing is a beast!

Very good detail man. Good job like always.

auto_guy · 07-17-09, 01:30

nice detail man, that's how a blue should shine

bufferbarry · 07-17-09, 04:03

Looks very nice man. Good attention to detail

Nice job! So the original "retro" Mustang was based on what, a '68 fastback, this one looks like it's taking its styling cues from a '70 Boss...so eventually the "new" mustang will look like a '78 Mustang II??

I have to agree with Jake - I was viewing the pics thinking, "The wheels suck" - especially for a GT! The rest of the car, however, looks great! That must have been a fun color to play on!?

Good work!
