That's the main reason I didn't buy black too but I see a black GT frequently during the week and it looks too plain to me. I got white, seems to be an original type of mustang color giving it a somewhat retro feel without any modifications whatsoever and it is so bright that you need to wear sunglasses on those hot summer days to look at it. It's a real "cool" color too actually I wanted metallic blue or white and the day I chose my color, I could feel the heat radiating off the blue one, whereas it was cool to be next to the white.

Well I think scratch remover might work too but I'd try the zymol, people have a lot of good results from that stuff. I have some I tried to use on my VW and it worked a bit but there's still more work to be done there. I can see faint scratches just from washing my white paint indoors if I'm detailing but they aren't bad, might work those out a little bit some day but I doubt it..too much work

 

Hey guys. Good morning.

Its always nice when you wake up and notice mustang guys are to the rescue!

I've uses zymol many times, but I find the stuff I can buy in an auto store isn't necessarily the best....

So I went to order $30 worth of the ZANIO Z-PC to remove ALL of the swirls, and also the Z-2 to provide a 6 month barrier and shell.

Sucks for me because I live in jersey, so I may have to have it shipped to my bro in NC.


I've heard many good things about this product so I'll give it a shot and of course report with pics up the wazoo

oh, and fordfanboy, thanks for the comment. They are basically just chromed stainless I believe wiht stainless pins that you can pull out. The whole assembly is held on by 4 screws that are chromed, and look like the ones on elder race cars. In case some jackass kid would try to rip my pins off, I put a small inconspicuous piece of stainless safety wire to make sure the pin cannot come off. I wrapped it around the middle of the pin so it cannot be pulled through the hole

I feel so special right now

 

I havea nylon or plastic coveredcable connected back under the hoodand to theto the pins.
Yours didn't come with that? Mine had them on it when I bought it so I thought it was just part of the kit.
Oh!, and I think you will be please with the Zaino

 

haha I will if they will ship it

 

You should go get a professional buff job. I had my car buffed by some show car painters and it removed any swirls I had. Then apply some good wax like Meguiars NXT.
I have black and no swirls because of these steps.

 

If you have an orbital, with the right polish you should be able to remove your swirls. I did that the first weekend I brought my Mustang home. It quite honestly looked like hell. Parked in the back lot for probably a few months it really looked terrible, and however they "washed" the car at the dealership probably involved taking sandpaper to the finish. It was pretty horrible. Looked pretty good when I was done with it. Make sure you match your pad to your polish.

The real trick however is to maintain the finish! Make sure you use two buckets, one for car wash solution and one for rinsing. Do a panel at a time. Use a microfiber or chenille wash mit. Rinse after each panel. Do not scrub except in areas that have baked on crud. Wash once a week.

And then dry the car with GOOD quality microfiber cloths. Keep them clean and grit free. This is where you make or break your finish IMHO.
Everyone compliments my paint, it looks better than a brand new car. I actually have a SOLID black vehicle, unlike most people who have a swirled mess with loads of scratches. And this is 5 months after I did my polish/wax for the last time! The car is driven at least 3 times a week. I'm getting ready for my next polish session probably in a couple of weeks.

You can do it, it's a load of work to keep a black car maintained, but once it is -- nothing else compares IMHO. There's a special 'glow' that these black Mustangs have when their paint is in order.

 

to get swirls out you need to use a buffer like a porter cable and some swirl remover


and by the way you really need to make your sig smaller that is way to big

 

22kart22, even is right, the only way to remove swirl marks is to get a buffer, the buffer you have can be very dangerous if you don't know exactly what you're doing

if you really want to get serious about your paint you should invest in a porter cable 7424

it's a great machine, easy to use with a small learning curve and will give you excellent results

it's pretty cost effective too


all those other products that people we're talking about in this thread won't remove swirls and spider webbing, they will only temporarily mask them, after a couple of washes you'll be in the exact same boat.


a good place to get a PC and some excellent products is from www.obsessivedetail.com

Juztang (justin) is an official site sponsor and will take care of you very well


if you want some decent over the counter products then meguiar's products are probably as good as they'll get
