First off forigve the pics again as I`m still taking them off my camera phone. (waiting on a part now to get my DSLR back up and running) Nothing to extensive here. But I was basically waiting on this one. The dealership I`m working with training their guys took this in on trade a little while back. At first they didn`t want anyone touching it. Understandably. Finally I got pulled aside tonight and was asked if I could get it ready for the show room and their ad`s next week.
All in all it was in real solid shape. It`s a 2008 Saleen racecraft edition. Pushing I do believe they told me 420 hp with 410 ft/tq 4.6 supercharged V8. To say the least this is the baddest mustang I`ve ever sat in. The kid that owned it was only 25 and got in way over his head. The monthly car payment and insurence payment on it was eating $1100/mth out of his pocket so he traded it in for a Tacoma...:confused: This thing only has 2500 miles on it. Not even broke in yet. Someone is going to get one helluva deal on it I`m sure.

So a basic new car prep the right way was in order. Good training tool as well ;)
Started with the wheels and fuel door. APC`s and some light brush work did them good.

After a good rinse to get any dust off it I took a couple of the beading.. Still had a good coat of wax on her.

Then the bath and clay. The clay really didn`t net anything worth taking a pic over.. Which actually suprised me a little. Apparently the kid took pretty good care of the car.

Then I did a basic once over with Ultrafina on the PCXP and red pad. I didn`t really see much in the way of micromarring or RIDS either. Like I said it was in really good shape to begin with.

Then I followed that up with some Danase Wet Glaze for added gloss.

Dressed the engine bay with some Meg`s Hyperdressing to make it look better than new again.

Air Dam and tires also got the Hyperdressing treatment.

All in all pretty straight forward. But a fun car to play with no doubt.
Thanks for looking
