single step on Bullitt Mustang

[Mobilejay]

This car wasn`t too bad to begin with but I achieved a better result than I had intended. This was a single step so it did not come out 100% but it came out pretty nice. Some of the panels came out better than others but all in all we were both happy with the outcome.



I used the 3401 with SIP and a green Uber pad. I am really liking these pads. I have only used the green one so far but I think it has better cut than the white ccs. Finish down the same I think.



After the polishing, I took the car outside to re wash with dawn. I brought the car back in the garage because the sun was killer and I didn`t want any spotting. I dried with WW`s and Surf City Garage QD.



Once the paint was dry I applied a coat of BFWD to the paint and let it sit for about 20 min. I took that time to clean and treat the leather with the products from Leather Masters. I used the LM Strong Cleaner to remove the previous leather treatment. Once the seats were cleaned I applied the LM Leather Protectant. The tires were done with Optimums Tire Shine.



In the after pictures of the polishing stage you will notice strays that look like holograms. With the extreme humidity we have had here lately, the polish is a royal pita to remove. All the polish was removed during the dawn wash at the end. For a single step polish, I was really pleased that it came out how it did. Lots of gloss was brought back and the reflection is much better.

After, you can still see some deeper swirls that a single step wouldn`t remove.

Looks great! Love the Stang too!

[Scottwax]

Really terrific results for just one polishing step. :)

[David Fermani]

I`ll take that 1-step all day long. Looks terrific. Was there any acid rain damage on the horizontal panels?

[Mindflux]

Hey Jay,

Glad to see you (thus far) do not regret buying your Uber (Buff and Shine) pads. :)

[2007TBSS]

BTW, How do you like the 3401?

[Mobilejay]

Thanks



David, I don`t think there was any acid rain on the panels. If there was I didn`t notice somehow.

Mindflux, yeah man I think they`re great. Thanks for the help

2007, I love it. I use that machine the majority of the time. I do a lot of single step polishes and its a great working machine. I would recommend it to everyone.

beautiful one pass

[FinalTouchAuto]

Very nice!



What is the single bulb light you are using in that 3rd picture?

[Mobilejay]

Its a Cree LED flash light. I got off ebay. Its a SuterFire G2 XPE-R5. I think its a chinese flash light. I have been using it for about 2 months and it works great.

[FinalTouchAuto]

Yeah, it looks like it works!



I`ll have to look into it. Thanks for the information :)
