Excellent work! A buddy of mine has an 09 Bullitt & I'm aching to work on it!
 
Amazing work man. What's ur to go buffer on most cars? I'm debating on what to get just worrying they won't have enough correction.
 
Wow Awesome work!! You are an incredible talented detailer! Thank you for Bringing Back Frank Bullit's Stang Back!! PS: Who starred as Frank Bullit....should be very easy guess!
 
Thanks guys! :)

My go to buffers for pretty much every car are my BOSS G21/G15 and or Rupes MKII 21.

Thanks Joe. No real specif reason for the HD Polish. This paint was easy to work with but HD Polish just works well 99% of the time and it's what I went with. :)

Thank! I can really only give you my thoughts on application since this is the first car I've done with it. I think it was a very easy coating to apply but you definitely need to keep your application area small and wipe it off right after applying. It's not like Gloss-Coat where you can do a few panels and then go back and wipe it off. Also, be very thorough with checking for high spots. I had one light blemish/smear between the panel gap of the rear bumper cover and where it meets up with the quarter panel and I had to re-polish that area and reapply. A serious high spot that was not level may require wet sanding to remove. The coating was slick after leveling but seemed like it lost some of the slickness after it cured...I'll have to check this on a test pan when I have time. Hard to tell how much it added to the look, but I was happy with it. I'd like to do a hard tape line on a black panel to see how much it darkens the paint too. That's all I have for now. Hopefully I can do some testing to see how it hold up in the long run...the owner agreed to be my guinea pig for long term testing. :)

Thank you for the detailed response! I'm tempted to try this as my first coating. Still deciding between this and cquartz.
 
Great work! Thank you for posting and including all of the steps and products you used.

I'm not a big fan of green (and more of a GM guy vs Ford), but that Bullit Mustang is sweet!
