LSN Auto Detailing - 2016 Mustang EB Prem PP - New Vehicle Prep

[LSNAutoDetailingLSNAutoDetailing is verified member.]

Was my own customer for a change on my new 2016 Mustang Eco-Boost Premium Pony Package.
The dealer knows me so they asked if I wanted the typical wash and spray wax, I said sure... Aside from that and a quick interior, they really didn't do much...

Luckily the guys at the dealership know me and are on my mailing list so the car came back clean (to some degree) inside and out but moreover, no swirls or scratches!

It was time to give the Silver Bullitt a proper detailing and so it got one! The temps (65 deg) were ok to work with CQUK in the Garage, but I must admit, the flash time took forever.
But I look at it this way, I'd rather that than go through the winter with crappy spray wax as protection.

The car really didn't need a polish at all. There were no swirls, no scratches at all!!! However, I wanted to give it a proper polish to prep the surface for the coating.

The details:
Exterior:
Tarminator (very little required)
Griot's HD Wheel Cleaner - wheel woolies
Pinnacle 4:1 APC
Wolfang Total Engine Cleaner
Megs Hyper-Wash - Chenille Wash Mitts, 2BM/ GG
Auto Geek Foam Cannon - Megs Hyper Wash
Pinnacle Exhaust Tip Cleaner / LC Scrubber
Iron-X
Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay - Megs D114
Waffle Guzzlers (to dry)
Gold Plush JR 16x16 MF's
Black MF's for jambs engine and wheels
White Waffle for Glass - McKee's Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner
Griots BOSS G15 / BOSS Orange Pads / BOSS Correcting Cream
CQUK
CQDLUX

Interior:
McKee's Fast Interior Cleaner - Awesome Stuff!!!
McKee's Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner

And a new car doesn't need Iron-X???????

Thanks for viewing!

Just so you know, Ford offers a pro cal tuner for ecoboost vehicles for 500 dollars. Using it will not void warranty if it is from ford.

Nice job on the mustang too, These things I have heard great reviews about. Obviously the purists are not happy though

Thanks Bill! Well aware of that tune...
This is what is in the garage for the winter, not sure if it makes me a "purist", however, when comparing the V8 to EB, I'm very happy!!!

Excellent work Paul!

Thanks Frank! It's not a 48 Willies Jeepster, but it will do!

You are not at all wrong, just pointing out that some want v8 only. While the v8 is a classic great engine the I4 is pretty good. Ford even bumped the hp to about 330 I think in the new mustang. That turbo I4 is beating the old v8 or even matching a 5.4l modular truck engine from older times.

Bill, You're right! I saw the specs on the 2018 Mustang... My take is why not have both.... V8 as the garage queen and I4 as DD! Can't go wrong either way!

Wow! Beautiful work Paul! She came out great!

In your case with the vehicle at hand and not needing much in terms of polishing I would have used Essence as the primer polish instead of the whole correcting creme and Eraser wipe down.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mike! I'll keep essence in mind. I haven't used it yet, nor stock it in my inventory. Had a short window (50 degree day in January in NH)...
But perhaps in the spring, we'll see what she looks like after all the snow melts!

Car looks great! I love the drone of a V8 but as I get older I'm really starting to appreciate how quiet and efficient my ecoboosts are on long road trips. It's a great platform.
