I have some serious bullet holes almost on the lip of the hood. The paint body man at Ford told me that the way these hoods are designed that it will be subject to a lot of damage. Do you buy that. Is this only noticeable on the black is there some regular color hoods who are suffering?

 

I got a black stang and chips stick out like a sore thumb especially after you give it a full detail

 

i have em...mineral grey...can only see if you get about a foot away

 

beautiful.

 

How much work will it take to get my hood to look like yours?



For a comparison, point your camera at the reflection with the flash centered, and use flash to shoot it.

Here's the same spot after:
claybar
Meguiar #84 compound
Meguiar DA Cleaner Polish
Meguiar Swirl remover
Meguiar Scratch-X
Meguiar Gold Class Wax
Meguiar Ultimate Detailer



Still needs some work, but not bad for a former Budget Rent-A-Car.

 

dude. stop wasting the worlds fresh water lol

i mean wash 3 times.. thats a lil overboard

 

Just a few specs of dust...


realistically the many washes are needed, 1 spec of dirt left on that gets past the clay bar, and gets into the buffer.. will be a bad thing..


At times I find myself extremely obsessive.. however, when people ask me how I make it look so nice... it all pays off

 

Yes, it can be shinier.

Visit www.blackfireusa.com for more info.

Wash, clay, polish, clearcoat protect, carnauba, then aerosol carnauba detail spray. It ROCKS!

The stuff is on sale right now, too.. You can get a decent kit with most of the stuff you need for like ~$125..

 

Looks good! I have rock chips in my hood. Going to have it repainted when I get my roush front end put on

 

still need to use the clay bar and i havent yet is it worth it?
