That's what I was thinking, but wanted to ask to make sure. Thanks!

Got a friend who wants her brand new car coated. My garage is insulated, but not heared. Temps here in Indiana are going to be in the high teens in the daytime & single digits at night. My garage will probably be above freezing, but in the 30's for the most part. I'll be using CSL. Can it be...

Thanks all!

I coated my Shelby this past spring with CSL then ExoV4. Never have been happy with the way it came out. Not sure what I did wrong, but I've done plenty of cars with CSL & I love it. Anyway, sometime over this winter I intend to redo it. What's the best way to remove the coatings? A fairly...

Thanks! I've had 8 Mustangs, & my son is on his 2nd. Unless snow or back seat space are concerns she should go for one. They're a lot of fun!

Thanks! We're both Navy guys & Mustang guys. That GT/CS is pretty cool. The 10 spd auto is crazy. We put a CAI, tune, & Borla axle backs on it. Sounds really wicked now. He'd beat me in every category except acceleration. I've got approx 100hp more, so I'd smoke him in the quarter!

Thanks!

My son just left the Navy & picked himself up this '19 GT/CS with only 700 miles on it. Paint was in really good shape so I didn't worry about correction. I clayed it, & went straight to Menzerna SF4500. Then I coated it with CSL. Looks nice alongside my Shelby!

I coated this car 2 yrs ago with McKees. Owner decided to let me do CSL this time around. It had a little swirling, so after clay I hit it with Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover. Then Wolfgang Finishing Glaze to bring out the last bit of shine I could get. (Really starting to love this...

Man, hard to believe it was delivered like that. Looks fantastic! Make sure he knows that black isn't a color, it's a part time job!

Thanks guys!

Bought the car in October, & it sat for most of the winter. (It's still pretty much sitting with this mandatory stay home stuff) Anyway, I decided it was time to give it a full detail. Previous owners took really good care of it, & it only had minor swirling. After clay I did the whole car with...

To say this thing was rough would be a HUGE understatement. It's got 121k miles on it, & I'm not sure the previous owner ever did anything besides running it through the scratch machine tunnel washes. I washed, clayed, & then started hitting it with Menzerna HC400. Took a LOT of passes, but...

Not much to brag about here, other than getting to work on probably the 1st Bullitt sold locally. Paint was pretty much perfect, as you'd expect for a car with 46 miles on it. (No dealer installed swirls!) All I did was clay, polish with Menzerna SF4500, de-oil with Eraser, & coat with CSL. This...

A buddy of mine from the Mustang Club of Indianapolis brought me his lime green Mustang to get ready for show season. I know the car well, & know that it's always been well taken care of. It did have some swirls, plus the usual wear & tear from 88k miles. Right off the bat I found the color to...
