Oakes - Detailed: 2007 Mustang GT - 550+ hp

[OakesDetail]

A full detail of a 2007 Ford Mustang GT with a few extras on it. I personally love this color, however it hides a lot of is extremely difficult to get pictures of with the metallic flake. I tried my best with getting good photos, however I was in a crunch for time and decided to focus on the quality of the job instead. (which always comes first anyway)



I did manage after 2 long days of workin on the car, while being very sore from the previous two cars, to squeeze a few off. This particular Mustang is putting out 550+ hp and makes a good amount of noise! It`s also for sale! I was told I didn`t have to go crazy on this car, but knowing me, I did anyway. Since it was being prepped for the same show as the 2010 GT I did (seen here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-details-before-after/121321-oakes-detailed-2010-mustang-gt-show-prep.html) Enough of my babble!



Process:

Full degrease/wash - Clay bar

Menzerna Power Gloss - Orange pad

Menzerna Power Finish (203) - Green Pad

Optimum Poli-Seal - cured overnight

Collinite`s No.845 Insulator Wax

Redbull and some good music.



Engine bay was NOT cleaned, however it has this oversized alternator in it ;)

Awesome job. It looks like you are a hit with the local Mustang Club :)

[OakesDetail]

Thank you! All three of the Mustangs I`ve done recently belonged to the same guy. He owns American Muscle here in Malvern, the 2010 Camaro SS as well. He`s got a few more cars in the garage too ;)

[socalv-dub]

wow, he must have a whole lot of electrical equipment to need an alternator that big haha. i really love that last shot too. those mustangs look real nice. one of my favorites in my opinion
