    well today went with Nick to detail this Saleen (i guess it would be wrong to call it mustang?),
    its silver so it was easy in a way, it was pretty good condition so all we had to do use is 85 for most areas. some needed menz203. customer just got another one, exact same one lol which will be detailed tomorrow, not sure why would you get 2 of same cars


    products used
    1z pfledge
    menz 203
    menz 85rd
    yellow pad
    orange pad
    green pad
    BFWD
    p21s metal polish
    p21 polishing soap
    megs WB
    rejex

    well not many pics for now. ill post more when Nick posts write up.
    but there are some pics of the car

    no correction pics, no 50/50 couse there were very few imperfections on car and we didnt had time to take many pics. not sure how you can take pics on silver car, this one made me hate silver color
    Sneak peak at grey one

    wheels, exhaust and CF diffuser cleaned and sealed with rejex (by the way its fake exhaust even those exhaust gas
    still comes out of it but actual exhaust pipes point down and there are holes cut out in defuser
    wheels were pretty dirty, front didnt come out too clean couse i guess more brake dust damage, rear once are almost like new, forgot to take after pics but hope Nick did.

    impresions about the car, didnt drive it so dont know how power is. first, spoiler is useless in back just adds extra weight, wheels are heavy as hell, at least 90 pounds each with tires, ud think they went for performance, brakes - 6pot in front, single piston in back, wtf. finish quality sucks. would not buy this car even if it was 50% off retail

    if i had 80 grand to spend id get GT-R

    Beautiful Saleen!! Those things have some crazy HP #'s.

    Looks like a early 80's Mustang in the background. 79-85 model iirc, square quad headlights.

    pretty wicked car. i did a GT500 Shelby a few months back in this newer body style and they are nice cars. I'm digging the silver a lot more though. Less maintenance . . . . would look sick with some black rims with a polished lip.

    If I had 80 grand I would spend on a 911 turbo (997), great work! Not a fan of this saleen tho. The S7, well thats a different story :)
