This is a recent car I did for a client. This is also my first post on the detailing forums. Had I known there was such a large online community I would have been documenting all of my work a little better. So all I have a iphone photos, but Ill start really doing some serious photo work. After all I am a professional photographer....
Anyway.
Back story on the car. '03 Saleen Mustang. In the past 6 years it has sat out in the texas sun, not garage kept, not maintained, and never waxed or sealed in the past 6 years with the current owner.
Needless to say, it was a mess.
This is how I received the car. I wish I had taken more photos, this car was a disaster.

After a good hand wash, and then another hand wash, I clayed, and the amount of crud to be pulled off the car by clay was staggering.

Here is the swirling oxidation and pitting after wash and clay.

And after a few passes of CG V32 extreme compound.

Here is a 50/50 of the hood after compound only.

And the final product. a 14 hour detail. Customer was shocked when he saw his car. The best reward at the end of a detail.

Again, I apologize for the phone photos, Ill document upcoming cars much better.
