Spring detail

[hwm3]

Started on the spring detail of my Mustang today. It's black and it's my daily driver, so it needs a little paint correction. After washing and claying I used Meguiars microfiber cutting pads and compound applied via PC7424. This took care of the correction, tomorrow will be finishing. I probably will be finishing with Meguiars M205 on a Meguiars yellow polishing pad, followed by Menzerna 106 on a Meguiars black finishing pad, both via PC7424.

Looks pretty good right?

Closer inspection with the Brinkmann

Looks great. Black always looks amazing once it's cleaned. I have been working on the GT500 the past few days and the outcome is unreal with black..

Yours looks like its heading in the same direction.

Finishing steps done today. Ended up changing my game plan after trying a few different combos. I went with Optimum Hyper Polish spray on a Meguiars black finishing pad. This was able to remove all the marring from compounding and leave the paint ready for sealant/wax.

A few reflection shots in the garage. I'll try to get some sun shots tomorrow if I have time. I hate to do it since the pollen is so bad right now.

All these pics are after cleaning the paint with IPA. No sealant, no wax, no fillers. I sealed with Poorboys EX-P and topped with Poorboys Nattys blue paste.

god that is beautiful. Ford really stepped it up with the new black. My 07 paint was crap, even after a 3 step correction. Crap by my standards anyways. Keep up the good work man. def a labor of love

They have a little, the Shelby still has a little orange peel in it.

Your results are very good for polishing.

This being said, the only way to get some of the orange peel out, is to wet sand.

Just in general, his camera did not zoom in enough to pick up any orange peel.
