New client of mine. He just received delivery of this vehicle. It had the DISO installed…one of the better jobs I’ve seen…LOL. The whole vehicle was a mess. Swirl city. Heavier scratches, dull lifeless paint due to so many defects. Thin spots/burn spots where someone attempted to correct some heavier defects in the driver’s front fender. A total shame for a brand new vehicle to be delivered in this condition.



The ‘details’:

Blackfire foam shampoo.
Medium clay mitt.
McKee’s 37 iron remover.
Adam’s tire and wheel cleaner.
Misc. brushes, mitts, etc.
DeFelsko PTG.
Flex 3401
Flex XFE15—until backing plate broke.
Rupes Mark III 21
Misc. foam pads.
Griot’s fast correcting cream.
Griot’s perfecting cream.
Adam's Revive hand polish.
Optimum panel wipe
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
22ple VM1.
McKee’s37 APC.
McKee’s37 high gloss tire dressing.
SCG Pro glass cleaner.
Metro vacuum.
Scangrip lighting.
Ranger quick jack.


Thin/burnt area:








Swirl/scratch city:




















Wheels...dusted!








Initial hit:















Getting there!



 
Black is beautiful again, Scotty!!

Man, just shows all of us how even a 2020 paint job can become so messed up with bad (horrible) techniques.

Awesome work as always, Liver Neck. ;)
 
Ok. As you know I have a legit mancrush on you!!! I’m speechless as to the overall condition of that car. Your turnaround, reminds me of the 2006 Playboy where Stacey Dash(pre political crap) posed nude at 40. Just delightful!!!! But, tell me about the backing plate, and the dealership’s response, if there was one
 
Thanks Pauly...and my shoes fell off!

Billy, you are my hero! I laugh at your posts!!! So good!! And thanks for the 'info' to google! LOL

The screws pulled out of one of the holes in the backing plate...noticed it while doing on of the horizontal panels that I was getting a 'wobble/something wasn't right with the machine' and saw that the backing plate was pulling off of the machine. Switched machines, ordered 2 more w/free shipping today, and will replace it when I receive them this week.

Dealer said..negative ghost rider, we aren't going to do anything about it. Done. (Client purchased it from an out of state dealer) What sucked is he had them install his $3000 stripe job on top of all that mess...and it was a PIA trying to correct (as best I could) in between them without messing them up.

All in all...I can't wait for him to see it tomorrow!
 
Good to know on the backing plate. Lately the XFE15 is my go to for everything. I have my 2 Boss machines that will get put on the a Mobile trailer. The reason is reliability, and ease of repair/warranty. The only Rupes that I own is a rotary. I love that thing, and when I go to Renny’s class in April I really want to learn how to master it. If not there, I am 1:45 away from a Jason Rose class in Denver. For the record, Stacey Dash was my #1 for years... Until Kate Beckinsale... ��
 
Wow! Those close up pics made it hard to believe that is a brand new car.
That is one hell of a correction. Great,Great job.
 
Those above the door handle shots were horrid. Incredible save Scott.
 
The treamentcto that Shelby was gross. That’s why you dont buy sight unseen. Luckily he found you. Great job.

I have never been a ford fan and even more so not mustangs. But my goodness that is one sexy a** car. They stepped the game up and my goodness id drive the wheels off that thing. Nice work on the cleanup. It shocking how bad dealers deliver cars thinking they look great. Yeh maybe with your eyes closed lol. Fine work on saving that one

Thanks for the comments and responses everyone! Really appreciate them!
 
Gather you did not do light buzz cut over the vinyl strips?

Got a white one with blue strips coming in....and trying to decide what to do re strips.

Oh BTW---what a great turn around!

Can’t believe a dealer would deliver car in
that bad of shape. Now it looks like it should
have. Sir your detailing jobs are like a car show
for me keep them coming.

Jim
 
Thanks Jim and everyone!


Tom: they were matte stripes and I didn't want to gloss them up by polishing them. I let him know I'd do the best I could between them, used my iBrid, and those areas turned out OK.
 
Dear Ford dealer: Please vandalize the paint on my brand new $80k car by having your untrained employees inflict as much damage as they possibly can before delivery. Signed.... Your Customer
