    Here is my buddies 2008 Mustang GT that I recently detailed, 5.0 long block Dyno'd at over 730 whp on 93 pump gas, and over 760 whp with meth injection. Tuned for race gas at over 800 whp. With these numbers I think any car enthusiast can appreciate this car. But it has to look as good as it moves.

    Just a brief summary of some of the products used
    Car was washed with chemical guys citrus wash using gilmour foam gun and two bucket method with chemical guys maxi suds
    Clayed
    Wheels were cleaned with sonax full effect wheel cleaner
    Tires were dressed with Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat
    Car was polished with Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction Kit and finished down with meguiars m205 finishing polish on a LC Black Using a porter cable 7424xp
    Blackfire wet diamond sealant was used, and after it was allowed to cure the car was hit with optimum spray wax.

    Interior was cleaned with meguiars all purpose cleaner plus and protected with 303 aerospace protectant.

    Engine bay was cleaned and dressed.

    Black trim and wheel wells were dressed with chemical guys black on black

    After it was all said and done, the job took me around 15 hours. The paint wasn't corrected 100% but given the time frame/budget, we were both more than happy with the results.


    Alright, now onto the before and after pics.

    The inside of the windshield was extremely dirty.

    Yeah, I rode in it when we recorded some 1/4 mile times and traps. low 10's @135+ on street drags. 1st-2nd are useless and even 3rd can spin them all the way. It may be faster than my evo, but at least I can drive all year around and I can drive around rather comfortably as a daily driver.
