[DETAIL] Ford Mustange Fastback Detail & Correction

[carcareproducts]

Every so often we have some unique cars come by, and this
time we were incredibly lucky to be able to work on this beautiful Ford Mustang
Fastback.

This fully rebuilt car (as new) has a coat of solid black
ceramic clear. The quality of the finish once painted was in a terrible state.
Definitely not the condition a classic muscle car like this Mustang should ever
be seen in public.

Any questions you may have regarding the techniques or
products used please do not hesitate to ask.

A few products and machines were used due to the very
contoured panels making accessing some areas quite hard;-

Initial Correction;
Menzerna
FG500 Polish, RUPES
Bigfoot Machines for larger Flatter areas,
DAS6
Pro DA Polisherfor smaller areas combined with
Surbuf
Microfibre Pads including the 4" Pads,
Festool
RAP80 for the tighter areas such as headlight surrounds, front & rear
bumpers, tail light and beaver panel etc.

2nd Stage of
Menzerna
PF2500 to remove any micromarring that possibly may have been left in the
initial cut with the same machines on a variety of
Menzerna
Yellow, Festool
Orange & White and RUPES
Yellow Pads.

Finishing stages and jeweling of the paint with
Menzerna
SF4000.

Finishing Product, car was sealed with Nanolex
Premium Spray Sealant due to the nature of the paintwork; solid black
paintworks are incredibly soft and very easy to mar. This classic car should
receive over 6 months protection from the Nanolex Spray Sealant leaving the
paint with a deep sharp wet finish.

Photos Below show quite evidently that the paintwork was in
a terrible state with heavy holograms, marring and some even deeper scratches!

(Adhesive residue)

A couple 50/50 Shots (Single pass correction to compare
to uncorrected side)

The paint lacked any Depth, Clarity and in fact was Grey
not Black.

Delivered from the Paint Shop with free Holograms

Marring was even found around the headlight surrounds! -
They did a fantastic job ruining the paintwork!
