Went over to a buddies house today and pampered the Mystic. I would first like to give a big thanks to Mike for his help. Now onto the steps.

First was a good wash and dry. Next we clayed the entire car, which took a full 80 gram clay bar. After claying, due to the heavy swirls in the paint, we ended up using PB SSR 2.5 with an orange pad to pull most of them out. Then we used PB Pro Polish followed up with some PB EX Sealant. We was going to try some PB Black Hole Glaze, but we got started late and ran out of time. Once the Sealant cures, I will be applying 2 coats of PB Nattys Blue followed by 2 coats of Nattys Red Wax. All in all I am very pleased with how the Cobra looks now. The colors seem to be more noticeable, and it doesnt look like a 190k mile car anymore :headbang:

Seriously, CLEAN THE TAILPIPES!!!

Window Cleaner + #0000 Steel Wool will clean off all the crap, then follow up with your favorite Metal Polish!!!

Look how these tips came out on a Customers Car I did.

The tailpipes are on the list of stuff that I still need to do, thanks for the tip, I will give it a shot this weekend.

She looks really good. How long did it take? I do detailing for a living.

Took 5 hours from start to wiping off the sealant. Then I let the sealant cure for 24 hours before starting on the wax with 12 hours between each coat of wax to get a nice layer effect. Honestly I am not sure if it makes a difference waiting 12 hours between each coat of wax, but to me it seems like I would just be smearing it into the previous layer if I did them back to back.

That seem about right and yeah I do the same 24hr then the 12hrs after thing too. I like to think it's doing something. lol

I never would have guessed it has 190,000 miles! Looks like new. I just noticed you are from Indy, I am about 20-30 minutes north of downtown.
