Mustang 5.0

2013 Mustang GT 5.0
Black
32,000 miles


A client brought in their 5.0 Mustang for a much needed paint correction. The paint was hammered. It lived the life of the local scratch and swirl and they wanted it to look its best for the next upcoming cars & coffee event. I think the ‘doc’ at Autodermatology is up to the task!

Heavy, heavy swirls, marring, hazing, and scratching was covering the entire paint work of this Pony.

2 steps of paint correction were needed in order to restore some gloss, shine and reflectivity back into the paint.

Tools/supplies/chemicals/etc:
Flex 3401/Rupes Mark II 21/Rupes iBrid nano
Misc microfiber/foam pads
Adams wheel cleaner
Adams tire and rubber cleaner
Adams glass cleaner
Misc microfiber towels.
HD tire for tire dressing
Hydro II for wheel sealant
Super-secret compound and polish that I am beta testing...and they work awesome!!!
Black Label ceramic coating as LSP
Adams odor neutralizer for the interior
Engine compartment-Adams All Purpose Cleaner for clean up and Nanolex trim coating.

Now let’s let the pictures do the story telling!

After 1st stage of correction:

Hood vents removed so they could be corrected and coated. Also it made correcting the hood a lot easier.

Koni struts and lowering springs found when I pulled the wheels!

Fantastic work! I can say from experience that it looks better than new. I drove a 14 GT off the lot in Ruby Red and it had the DISO.
