Alright this is my 5.0 Mustang. My first paint correction



Duragloss wash

Clay magic with ONR lube

Optimum foam gun it

m105

m205

BFWD



And my Flex 3401



This is the roof 26 year old single staged paint that as far as I know has never been waxed or anything, and its had lots of sun. Its very hazy. Those are regular light bulbs and look how hazy the reflection is, I had to take care of that.

Another shot of it with the hologens, to the left is my t tops and the faded part is roof.

The lights kinda shining in the camera a little much but heres some of the reflection afterwards, the left is the roof and on the right is the hatch, look how good you can see the reflection now, it went from being a faded white spot to now you can actually see the outline of the bulb and everything, now I can read reflections off of signs in the garage so I`d say this was a huge improvement.

A 50/50 on the t top trim. I thought this paint was just dull forever cuz I even 303d it a while ago and it didn`t improve it, so I thought it was just gonna be dull. Turns out my Flex brought it shining which was Saweet.

Don`t let your nice detail job interfere with the driving...tempting to not risk hitting cones now, isn`t it?!?
