Well I have done one before with the portercable and the meguires 3 step, but with cheap-o pads.

Anyways I did:

Clearkote Vanilla Moose Glaze (remove swirls) with the Orange mild cutting pad
Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze (RMG) with the white polishing pad
Clearkote Carnuba Wax with the black finishing pad.

Think that was a good choice?

I know I should of used the black pad for the RMG and Carnuba...ill try that next time. Also does using the VMG then the RMG render the vmg useless? I also used WAYYY to much product, im not used to the super luquidyness of the 1st two products so I went thru over 1/2 bottle of each!!! :(:o. LOL...the pads were just sucking it up so much. Im going to give them a spritz with quik detailer next time.

NOW BEFORE I SHOW YOU THE PICS...I didnt detail the trim, wheels, or tires...

ON WITH THE PICS:
Tell me what you think???

:cheers: Not bad for nearly 13 year old paint?!
 
WOW, great job!! The paint looks ready to drip off!
 
Holy crap man you went through half the bottles lol. Not sure if Vm actually removed the swirls though since it does contain some fillers, you may have just covered up some and removed some. Only time will tell after the fillers start to dissipate. IF you want to remove them Poorboys Worlds SSR 2.5 followed by SSR 1 then VM then RMG then topped with CMW.
 
Dude, your car looks really good. Pretty good for your first attempt, and you will only get better. Enjoy this addiction!
 
Your before and after pictures are like day and night difference! Great job man!
 
I want to give you kudo's , not only for the difference, but simply for putting a beautiful car together. Not to much ... nor to little. And it is great to see someone with a Mustang that actually has clear headlamps. Its impressive ..
 
Absolutely amazing!! That paint looks like it could drip right off of the car its so wet looking!! Very good job.
 
How did you get clear headlights? Are they relatively new?
 
they are pretty much 1 year old, aftermarket the aftermarket world for mustangs is the biggest of any vehicle I swear...

Thanks for the comments, and shes not all show either ;)
 
Matt looks really great I love that year Mustang body style can't beat it.:cheers:

Looking good man. Keep it up and watch out for the cops. I'm sure a reddish mustang would catch their attention, especially a CLEAN one like that!
