Today we have a 96 Mustang GT with some goodies. The car was booked for a two step polish with some interior cleaning.

NOTE: The exhausts were not done as the customer had to pick up the car earlier than planned, and they will be worked on at a later date seeing as they are rusted and in need of serious work.

Wow that looks amazing. I need this done to my car.. Perhaps it'll stop looking like a oxidized pinkish red... And laser red again.

I like how you used the painters tape to protect the trim from the buffer and buffer pad from the trim.

i used Aerospace 303 on the mirrors

You can find 303 Aerospace at some Walmarts. If you google it you will find lots of places that sell it.

Beautiful Detail. I have been using mothers back to black and it doesn't last long on the mirrors. I'll have to try that soon.

Very nice!!!

I STILL need to do the same for my car...

Just a q:

How long is a pass with the compound you're using? And did you use that 4"(?) pad for the entire body of the car or did you switch to a 6" or bigger pad for flatter panels... the reason i ask is because I find myself achieving a much better correction with a smaller pad(even on a larger surface...)

Thanks, i actually didnt use a compound for this i used Menzerna SIP which is considered a polish. I then used Menzerna Super Finish (106fa) to finish and get the best possible look from the paint. I only used the 4 inch pads on some areas of the car such as the fenders and side skirts, the rest of the car was done with 5.5 and 6 inch pads.

Very nice detail from what I can see, a lot of the pics are not loading for me. Sip/106 is what I use and they work great.
