Default GReddy_Civic's Detailing Thread

Hey everyone. This is gonna be my thread for the jobs I do for customer's throughout the year and beyond. I'm going to do it this way because I should be having a few more jobs coming in here in the next few weeks so this way I will not clutter up the forum with a lot of threads. Here is the first two cars I did last week
October 13 & 14 2008
2004 Mustang GT Mach1-Page 1
2007 Shelby Mustang-Page 1

Both of these cars were pretty dirty for barely being driven. He has a Ford Escape as a daily which will be done in the next week or so. Anyway, here are the pics, comments welcome

Here are the pictures of the Shelby, had to move the car around in the driveway to get it out of the sun, so if the orientation seems off, this is why

Final thoughts...I've got none, other than that Ford should stop putting vinyl racing stripes on cars that cost 60k+

Thanks bro, I was really happy with the results... As you can see in the picture of the tiny section of the Shelby roof that was half and half, the paint had a lot of defects, especially for bein so new

Word...
Porter Cable 7424 Random Orbital Dual Action Buffer/Polisher
Menzerna polishes/foam/wool pads
Pinnacle Swirl Remover (For hand waxing, Menzerna's stuff leaves no swirls)
Nu Polish/Royal Blue Wax
An all purpose cleaner with magic erasers for stains and such on panels
Turtle Wax carpet cleaner
Mother's Back To Black for plastic trim pieces (Thanks Tony & James for showing me this)
Soft Spray (for interior trim)
Clay Magic Fine Grade Claybar
Simoniz Leather Treatment/Shine
Simoniz Soap Concentrate

My tire shine I had broke (bottle head snapped) so I used the Back to Black in two coats. Worked pretty well when using an applicator sponge.
After washing, I applied a coat of intensive mernzerna polish with a wool pad, followed by a coat of menzerna micro polish with a foam light cutting pad. Everything else was pretty easy/common sense to do.
