How bad is my paint?

[Newman5]

Bought the car like this 3 years ago, needing some help and info. Anything will be grateful

Not the worst not the best I'd say....

Some M105 AND 205 or Wolfgang TSR 3.0 and Finishign Glaze 3.0 could do it some good. Nice sealant to finish it out.

What kind of car?

What are you working on?

What has been done in the past to take care of it?

Is this a daily driver?


:dunno:

 

[Newman5]

Already have a PC 7424xp and meg. 105 and 205 and black fire wet diamond sealant .

This is a 07 mustang. It is not my daily driver, I'm practicing on the DD right now .

It's been clayed and hand waxed by a friend twice a year.

Not horrible, needs some work. Time to grab your PC and get to work!

from the pictures you are showing, I would say the Mustang needs some TLC, You have M105 and M205 I would say those will do the trick for you. And it is worth doing right for a car like that.

Here are some results of my DD.

Sorry to say but pic number 5 is the beginning of clear coat failure. Same exact thing happened to my dads execution. What year mustang? 2000-2004?

Does anyone know what. Exactly the last pic of the specs all over the paint is from? On my black car

 

[Jomax]

Can you feel them on top of the paint? If so might be white over spray when someone painted near the car at one point.

It feel like they are concave into the paint , I've never had a answer on what it's from .

The defects shown in this picture are either scratches or cracks in the paint...

Has this car been exposed to a lot of sun and neglected? Neglected meaning little to no regular care for the paint using quality products?


:dunno:

 

[Newman5]

I know the scratches , but all the white spots are what's stumping me and everyone else .


Here's a better pic.

I cannot say I took the best care of the paint, clayed and waxed twice a year, but nothing like 105,205, sealant with a DA.

None of them come off with clay??

No it's like concave into the paint.

 

[DaveT435]

No it's like concave into the paint.

I'm still fairly new to this...but I would say chemical damage to the clear...or clear coat failure...are they getting any bigger??

This may sound like a dumb question, but is the car actually clean in these pictures? It looks dirty, so I'm having a hard time differentiating the dirt from the defects, and exactly what you're seeing in your pictures. Some are more obvious than others. I didn't think the black Mustangs came with a metallic paint, is that correct? What panel are you photographing that has all of the little white specs? If they're concave, I'd suspect rock chips as they look too big to be solvent pop.

I'd be interested to see the condition once the car is completely cleaned and clayed so we know more about what you're working with.
