New Car and my first outside detail

[FreddieG]

I first want to thank these forums for all the advice and help. I have really learned a lot and the importance of the steps and what products to use. Now onto the pics. The car is a new 2013 Black Mustang GT and dumb me forgot to take some before pictures cause I was so excited to get started but here are some afterwards. Sorry for the pics...they are with a Iphone and it was getting dark.



I did the following all by hand:



Two Bucket Wash

Microfiber Clean and Dry with Towel Pros mits and towels

Op Car Wash

Mothers Clay Bar with ClearKote QDS as the liquid

ClearKote RMG

ClearKote CMW (only did one coat ran out of time :()...probably will go back and do another coat.

Tire Dressing: Adams Super VHT



I didn`t do a cutting wax since it was a new car and didn`t see any swirls or imperfections so I went straight to the glaze after clay. I have some OC I will try next go around and see how the black turns out. I read that the new formula is good for black. Also if there are any suggestions or other steps please share!!

Paint looks really deep and rich, nice job!

[FreddieG]

Thanks Scott....I took a lot of advice from you on the ClearKote stuff since I had some of it already.

Looks very good FreddieG - is that metallic black or flat?

[FreddieG]

Thanks...its called just black on the window sticker...lol No metallic and definitely not flat..thank god. Do you guys think another coat of CMW or Opti-coat make any more difference?

[Thomas Dekany]

:) flat meaning not metallic. Or jet black

[FreddieG]

Haha still learning the lingo...Thanks again!!
