Newer Ford Clear Coats

[truckbutt]

If you are looking for gloss and depth like "truckbutt" post #10, you need to get the paint absolutely flat..no orange peel. To get that kind of gloss and clarity on that Stang, I would bet that it has been wet sanded. I would not recommend wet sanding OEM paint on a dd.

The closest Unigrit has gotten to that Mustang is when UPS delivered my last order from AG and left it on my front stoop for a repair on my Jeep! Seriously, no wet sanding. The harshest thing I've had to use on that Mustang is M105. I usually follow that up with M205 or in this case with SF4000. I then used the 3M Ultrafine on an LC waffle pad, followed by a Klean Strip Prep All wipe down. Thanks for all the feedback!

Rsurfer, I told the dealership if they do any kind of prep work that I'm not taking the car.

Here are a few pictures of the truck:

When you get the paint in perfect condition try souveran...not the longest lasting wax...but for depth and that wet look it's supposed to be the best for that. Then use Souveran spray wax after washing. That or blacklight followed by V7. IMO

how can you say this without ever trying the product?

please comment on cars you have personally detailed and from experience seen or done not from hearsay. this simply is confusing for readers and leads to folks buying products they "heard" about and then purchased only to find out it didnt work for thme or the desired results raved about werent accomplished.

If he has read about lots of people who achieved a certain result with a certain product, how is it different if he says what they achieved or the actual person says what they achieved.

Sharing knowledge is always a good thing and he was trying to help. I see no problem in this.
