2010 Mustang GT - Kona Blue - New Vehicle Prep

[David Fermani]

This car was detailed right after delivery at my old shop FERMANI DETAIL CENTER in Redford, MI. Classic case of dealer induced swirls & factory contamination that pretty much every Mustang that comes out of Dearborn Assembly has. My old shop Manager Ted & I knocked this one out together.

We 1st gave the exterior and engine compartment a blasting from our pressure washer.

Then the exterior got treated with Ford’s Acid & Alkaline Neutralizer (ABC Wash) with Dawn being the final shampoo.

Once the paint was clean, everything got clayed with AM blue Clay Magic.

We insured that every square inch of the exterior was smooth and contaminant free before polishing. We used the cellophane from a pack of cigarettes to magnify any paintwork bumps.

All the cracks & crevices were blown out to avoid water run out while polishing.

We opted to do 3 Alcohol wipe downs instead of re-washing. This gave us enough assurance that the surface was free of polishing oil/residue to promote proper sealant bonding. We chose Zaino for all the protective duties. Multiple layers of ZFX’d Z5 & Z2 were applied.

Amazing what you have to do on a new car....The Kona blue looks very close to my Dark Blue Metallic paint. I just wish it was a tad darker for crisper reflections.

Yeah, so many people think because their car is brand new, it has perfect paint. Nothing further from the truth.

HaHa Barry. Finally something positive coming out of a pack of cigarettes huh?

Thank you DaGonz. I know Mustangs have a special place in your heart. :)

Interesting and you`re right. I`ve been seeing a bunch of new Camaros & Challengers, but not that many Mustangs?




Excellent work what a beautiful shine this is one of the better blues out there



Thanks. Too bad I take crappy pictures because this car looked way better in person. Very vibrant color.
