First of all, I want to say how much I love Meg's stuff! On my old truck (Black Explorer) I used your claybar kit, Ultimate Car Wash, Ultimate Detailer, and Ultimate Liquid Wax. I love your ultimate line or products! Anyway, recently I bought a 2001 Mustang GT. The older gentleman I bought it from took care of the care mechanically, but cosmetically you can tell it was neglected. First of all, the car sat out in the hot Florida sun. He also had it sitting in the garage for a while to pile things on. I got the car for an amazing price with low miles. I like to turn the wrench so I wasn't horribly concerned about the pain. It's a blast to drive and work on, but I want to make it visually appealing to the eye as well as many stare when she gets opened up and the exhaust roars. When I first got it I:
Washed it
Clay Bar'ed it
Washed it again
Waxed it
Spray Detailed it
The paint looks a lot better, but the scratches and swirl makes on the hood look so bad! It literally looks like a mouse danced all over it. The scratches aren't super deep, but are noticeable and should be fixable as its only in the clear coat. Here is what I am thinking of doing
-Washing the car with Ultimate Car Wash
-Clay barring the car
-Hitting the hood with scratchx as this is the area of the car with the scratch and swirl damage. I have a orbital polisher and what pad do I use?
-Hitting the entire car with Ultimate Compound to further remove scratches plus take the top oxidation off from baking in the sun. Again, pad needed to be used?
-Hitting the car with Ultimate Polish to prep the paint for Wax. Again, pad?
-Hit the car with glaze to help restore shine?? (read this is optional)
-Wax car with Ultimate Liquid wax
All this will be done in a garage. As you can tell, I plan on waking up early on a Saturday and trying to knock it all out if I can. She sits in the garage at home and in a garage at work so she no longer bakes in the sun, but I want her shine back! Pictures below show the damage. Help!
EDIT: The pictures, especially the first, make the scratches look horrible. They aren't that bad, but I guess its the direction of the lap.
