Gleaming Kleen - Ford GT

First up was to give the engine bay a good clean, this was done with AG Powermax 3














Once engine bay was complete I turned my attention to the body work, with the car getting heavy track use it was covered in heavy tar and rubber so vehile was foamed twice before washing.






As the car is used on the track their was a build up of tar and rubber found throughout the exterior of the car so before claying I went around and removed the bulk of this tar using AS Tardis












Wheels were removed to fully clean the inners and remove the build up of tar and rubber. Once wheels were clean they were protected with Blackfire All Metal Sealant and tyres were treated with Zaino Z16

Arches were also given a good clean whilst the wheels were off


















With the car clean and dry the paint work was then inspected and paint levels taken. General swirling was evident along wit alot of sanding marks from a DA sanding disc .

Correction was carried out using Menz 203s on a polishing pad, some of the heavier sanding marks required Menz 3.02 to fully remove.
















































The black strips were vinyl so a gentle approach was taken to improve the swirling = menz 85rd and low RPM's which gave some great results




After correction was complete a light finishing polish was then used to burnish the paint to a perfect gloss.












Glass polished with Jeffs Strong


For protection Blackfire ALL Finish Paint Protection was used, this applied by PC on a LC Gold finishing pad.


Diffuser and trim throughly cleaned and treated






Exhausts were heavily tarnished so a assortment of metal polishes were used. These were then protected with Blackfire Metal sealant.

Right side done


Vents cleaned and protected


Engine bay sealed with Swissvax MotorShine

Haha. I banged my head so hard when I did the GT. Owner came to check on me hours later and said "forgot to mention when you step out watch your head on the door".

The headaches later are worth it, you did this car justice!
