It was a huge learning curve and process for me, but the results were extremely worth it. My car is a 2001 Mustang GT with the original black paint on it from the factory. I've had the car over 10 years now and haven't always been the best keeping up with it paint wise. The owner previous to me wasn't the best as well as it was sitting in his garage covered in random stuff. It was tough with heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and swirl marks. After using (2) grades of claybar and stripper soap the damage was extremely apparent. It took a ton of work but the pictures give all the hard work justice. While the paint is still 20 years old with some chips, and this is my first time doing this, I feel like it came out pretty good. Before:You can see the heavy swirls, cuts, and oxidation. <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/6559/HedcZj.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> After:<img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/9827/K7noZq.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8655/UazXpl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/9093/oB9vxx.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/866/Kpchc7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/659/mpTUBK.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/5048/vkL38j.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> I also claybared, cleaned, and coated the rims. <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/1322/5mGaWp.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/4626/tTcjml.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Restored and sealed the Vert top with the same stuff I used on all exterior black trim pieces. <img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/4494/rSfBxl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
