My Mach

[MuscleCar3]

Just detailed my Mach 1 yesterday and it took me all day so I took pics today to show the result. I didn't get all the swirl marks out, but a lot of them at least. I guess next time I'll just do 3 or 4 passes of M80. But here it is, hope it's up to par.











Oh, yea, wash, clay, M80, #7, NXT tech wax, and then Meguiars paste wax this morning too.

Re: My Mach

It sure looks good in those pics!

If it takes more than 3-4 passes with the #80, than you should step up to a more aggressive product IMO.

Have you tried, or do you have anything stronger at your disposal?

Re: My Mach

Just checked on those spots in pic #4, but there's nothing on the car. I'm confused.

Re: My Mach

No I do not have anything more aggressive unfortunately, but I'll most likely pick something up soon. I'll be doing another complete detail before winter strikes.

Re: My Mach

I think the spots are either dust on your lens or digital image blur.

It looks really really good from here.

Re: My Mach

I think it is time for #83, D151, or both!

Re: My Mach

Looks awesome. Nice work. Try 83 works really good. I have not tried 80 yet on mine It looks like you had a great outcome with 80.

Mmmmm, 4 valve. One of the best sounding stock cars ever. Looks great!

Re: My Mach

Thanks for all the compliments. And I actually do have D151, I was going to use both M80 and D151, but I called Meguiars and they said that it wasn't really made to be used together as D151 is a cut/polish/wax product. So I retract my previous statement about not having anything more aggressive, I do. I guess I know what I'll use next time.

And Golden, I do agree with that. Although, I got rid of the stock exhaust and put an MRT catted-H and SLP LMI catback.

Thanks! Ahh, that could be it. I unfortunately dropped my camera due to my dogs, but nothing broke, but that could be the reason why.

Do you mean I shold have used the M80 on a test spot to see if it got rid of the swirl marks? I did, and it got rid of them on the test spot. I might have just not done as good of a job on the other spots as I could have, but I'm still happy with the results. And thanks too!

Re: My Mach

No, I'm sorry, it's just not up to par. You'll have to send that poor neglected Pony to me right away!

Really, it looks outstanding. Nice job.
