A few weeks ago I got to work with an awesome and very accommodating client(most of my clients are good, but when you can spend an hour talking to the guy after the job...they're considered awesome in my book.) Being a Mustang owner myself, we had a ton of things to talk about and he had all sorts of good information for me. Just about everything on the car was upgraded in some way or another. It puts down about 500 to the wheels. Regardless, on to the job! The owners main concern were some nasty marks he picked up from getting it handwashed at a (supposed to be)high-end car wash. They were DEEP and required wetsanding. Other than that, it was typical wear and tear. The vehicle had been detailed numerous times before, however this is one of the few times where a previous detailer didn't leave too much of a mess to clean up. There were no holograms or leftover sanding marks or anything of that sort. There was some medium swirling, nothing that gave me too much trouble. This color was awesome to work on, as it is the only year that offered "Sonic Blue" from what the owner told me...and the stripes were painted, not vinyl...and it made a WORLD of difference.

Also, the sun was starting to set and it had just stormed, so I was not able to get any direct sun shots unfortunately.) Thanks for looking! Anthony Onorato Anthony's Auto Detailing

Sonic blue was offered on 03-04 cobra's, some f150's and even the focus'. Not bashing you, but just sayin'. Car looks great without the swirls
Thanks guys! As for the sonic blue comment...I meant for the S197, my mistake! I know they're also offered on the new Focus' as well, didn't know the F150's were sonic! Thanks for the info!
