    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!

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

    Love it! Awesome job, as always. How did the paint react? Soft or hard? Will be doing a 5.0 just like this coming up soon that is also hammered although an easier color to work with.

    Thanks Andy! Appreciate the comments. I found it to correct fairly easy, it's on the soft side IMO. Post up a thread on the one you do!

    Thanks again!
