Labor Day Weekend = Working on the Stang

I drive a 2001 Mustang GT Black.

I love the color but black is like a part time job keeping it clean. All the imperfections or scratches are magnified on black cars.

So I decided to fix the swirl and scratch to hopefully end up with a mirror finish.

First, lets see what the damage is

First attempt at paint correction, passenger side rear quarter


After


Side-by-side comparison


Driver side, rear quarter. Yep, lots of swirls when you shine a powerful light at it




Couple passes with the Porter Cable. You can see my reflection now



Driver side quarter window panel


After



After going at it for 2 days, finally I can wash it to remove all the polish and wax residue. A little foam will do



Couple pics of final results taken 1 hour ago

WOW looks great!!! my car needs to be buffed bad!!

yea mine too my hood has like acid rain on it

Man that is impressive, great job!!!

Great job! Yeah black is the worst, but sonic blue sucks too. If I dont polish and wax my car every month I get lots of water spots, wash marks. I dont have a garage to keep it in, maybe one day.

that foam, isnt soap, its me splurging all over your car lol.
black looks best when well taken care of. Yours is a perfect example.

Looks good!


The V6 door ding gaurds gotta go though

It was an option?

I bought the car used and it even came with OEM mudflap and all fours

Those "Foam" pics look like a elephant ej@culated all over your car. I really do need to get me a PC though, your car before/after really is a WOW!. Great Job man! Did you go out and do a victory burnout?

What products do you use? I need me some of what you use

:Word:

No not an option, but it was usually put on V6's.


Every once in a while a set gets stuck on a GT though
