2005 White Ford GT, this is serial #1. Booked for light correction detail.

Started on the wheels

Before

After

Foamed the car and carried out the wash, first nice day I had to work on one of the owners cars outside

Clayed w. fine clay

Paint wasnt too bad. Corrected with medium cut polish on the new PC, finished down with the metabo. Inside shots were useless on the white finish, waited until I got some sun shots in the after pics.

Wheels were hand polished and sealed with 3 coats of AJT, tires dressed matte

Cleaning the glass engine cover was a a bit of a task, I made it work thanks to wide rear tires

After, side trim dressed as well

Cleaning glass backed with halogens

Glass firewall cleaned as well, you can see the supercharger spool behind your head, pretty neat.

KC mats again, tidied up with Folex

Interior after

Jambs cleaned and sealed

Tailpipes polished with white di. and steel wool, housing dressed. Rear diffuser cleaned and dressed as well.

50/50

Engine cleaned up

LSP machined on and left overnight

That ended day 1, came back in the morning for the final touches

Finished shots

Some direct sun shots after the final wipedown

And here is the GT at a charity event I was apart of (owner was the host). We got very lucky that the rain held off that morning.

In good company... 512 BBi and some other hunk of junk

Thanks for looking

Beautiful car, and awesome results!

You certainly deserve to have worked on serial #1. It'll make a nice add-on to the stories you tell, years down the road.
Anyway, you made that white paint look like liquid glass, and thanks for sharing!
Oh yeah, I especially like the healthy, matte finish on the interior.
What did you use to clean/dress it?
