Supercharged Saleen, S550, Mustang GT-CS, Corolla, New Beetle, 525

2001 Mustang Saleen. I detailed it about 18 months ago, been in the shop for a while since then....having the engine built up. The owner says just over 500 hp at the rear wheels. Definitely sounds healthy!



I started with Zaino ZPC using orange Edge Cyclo pads, followed by Optimum Poli-Seal using a white LC CCS pad and finished with Opti-Seal.

Opti-Seal does a nice job on the plastic trim, as you can see here.

I really didn`t do much to the engine other than a quick wipe-down but I knew I`d take heat if I didn`t post pics...

2005 BMW 525 and a 2007 Mercedes S550. Both in excellent shape so just an Optimum No Rinse wash and Opti-Seal.

2004 Toyota Corolla. Belongs to my ex-wife`s Mom. I had planned to do a polish and wax on my son`s new car while I was up in Kentucky for his graduation last week but a friend of his backed into the side and two doors need to be repainted. So I detailed my ex-mother-in-law`s car instead. Someone had set a cup of something on the hood and it left a dark stain. There were also random dark streaks down the hood too. The paint almost looked like a chalky single stage white paint job it had such a hazy look. With a good chance of storms rolling through in a few hours, and my son`s graduation party as well, I didn`t any befores. Now I wish I had, the improvement was so dramatic.



Anyway, same process as the Saleen, ZPC/orange, OPS/white/OS by hand.

2007 Mustang GT California Special. I wash it every couple of weeks, except for May because it wouldn`t stop raining. I had a good base coat of Werkstatt`s Acrylic Jett and Optimum Opti-Seal from March and April respectively, so I thought I`d try Pinnalce Souveran on it. Added some really nice depth. :)

=============



2007 Volkswagen New Beetle. I used the Werkstatt twins on it when the owner bought the car about 6 months ago. The paint was still beading well and had decent slickness but the owner said it had been 6 months and she wanted it rewaxed. It was about 95 and no shade so I opted to polish the car with Poli-Seal using a white LC CCS polishing pad and top with Poorboy`s Natty`s Blue. That combo gave it a slightly softer, deeper looking finish than the Werkstatt twins.

wow great job... i really like the souv`ed mustang

[Thomas Dekany]

Wow Scott!!!!!!!! :bow



Beautiful pictures and of course excellent work.

[imported_series1]

Wow! Great job as always! Every one of your posts you make me want to buy opti seal more and more. It just always ends up being you+light colors(and dark too)= a new level of wetness.



Edit: Also wondering if your gonna pick up the new Nattys Red? Aren`t you a nattys fan?

[Scottwax]

Yeah, I`ll probably order a jar of Natty`s Red. I`ve been pretty happy with the Poorboy`s product line. Really helps me out in the summer when no shade is available.

[Suurje]

Great job as always! :goodjob



Nice pictures too, but you could get even sharper pics if you reduce noise of them, for example with Neat Image.

[Evenflow]

Nice work Scotty, those Stangs are sweet

[imported_morarch]

Great job Scott!

[mrzeee]

Awesome as usual Scott - but I have a question to throw at you - does opti-seal just seal or does it darken at all?? I picked up some megs`s #21 (was pondering opti-seal) - the shine is nice w/#21 but darkend my paint(my Xterra w/Knight Armor paint) a bit much for my taste -

[odonnellb]

great job....love the mustangs...what do you use on the tires again? i love them!
