Had the pleasure of working on a friends 1992 mustang notch back, i believe it was painted red at one time
but by the looks of it in the pictures below you would not know it lol.
Car currently is just a roller and now currently soon to be for sale as i had to prepare it for that reason alone.
Total time spent was about 35+ hours restoring this paint back to a acceptable high gloss finish, here is the process that i used.
Process: Pressure washed with dawn dish soap
Nano-skin medium pad, this thing felt like sea salt lol.
Washed again with dawn dish soap after nano skin
3D grand slam wheel cleaner with brush to agitate dirty tires.
Wheels all around got machined polished with mothers cream paste.
All exterior was done with griots boss g21 and creams.
Microfiber cutting pad+ fast correcting compound for initial cut, some areas were so bad i had to go over several times.
Final polish was done with orange pads, along with HD speed and along with collnite on top of hd speed, wanted a good lasting protection.
Trim and tires were dressed with chemical guys dressing along with swaps for tight areas.
Enough of the talk and here are the pictures of before,after, and final shots.
50/50'S:
Only Compound
Final Shots! :

This shot was my favorite:
All in all customer/friend was happy with the outcome and more future jobs coming.
