  • '99 Cobra

    Friend of mine. It's a '99 Cobra SVT Convertible, 25k original miles, black interior, 5 spd manual. A BLAST to drive...

    8 hour detail - It's not perfect, but I wasn't aiming for that. I just wanted to get rid of the initial surface swirls and let the red show its true colors again. The car was not 100% detailed either, this car is the owner's "toy" and thus making it perfect wouldn't be worth the effort.

    Products included 2 of 3 steps of Wolfgang (versus' the proper steps of 3/3, didn't have time)

    Washed in a Dawn/Citrus Mix (two bucket bethod)
    Clay'd with Meguiar's.
    Washed again in the Dawn/Citrus mix
    Patted dry
    Orange Pad with Swirl Remover Product
    Red Pad applied sealant.

    Taped off and ready to go, you can see the surface swirls on these pictures as well. I don't have that sufficient of lighting, so there aren't many.




    Car consisted of the following all over:




    Door handle before:


    Door handle after:


    Some 50/50's:








    Best 50/50, imo.


    Reflection shot, excuse my finger, I was trying to get my stubborn camera to focus



    I'll have some full car after shots this evening. Taking it out for a photoshoot. Glad the earthquake we had didn't rattle anything over in the garage

    I can't wait to see full shots of the car. I love seeing red properly detailed... It usually looks dripping wet. Your 50/50 shots show the quality of work you did. Great job!

      Thank you kindly... I certainly try my hardest when it comes to detailing with limited resources.

      Per usual JPG ruins the quality.
