This is a 88 mustang owned by one of my very good Corvette customers, his daily driver. Cool car, heads, cam, supercharger. Anyway it was completely oxidized, like a black chalkboard. It was a just for fun detail, and also a thank you to a good customer. I told him he could pay me whatever he felt like, I just wanted him to be happy with it. He liked that! And he paid me well. :)
The detail process for this car was actually pretty simple. I wanted to see how much correction I could do with very simple tools (PC, 2 pads, 2 products) and finish in just one day. Typically I finish with Zaino, but to keep things basic I just used megs #26 to finish it up.
-first pass: Menzerna IP on a Lake Country orange pad, speed 5
-second pass: Menzerna MP on a Lake Country white pad, speed 5
-wax: Meguiar`s Liquid #26
-convertible top: 303 Convertible top treatment.
Here are some more dramatic shots!
