It has been quite a while since I posted anything here in the showcase.
Over a 7 day timeframe, I prepped my 2006 Mustang GT, Lauren Renee, for the 29th annual Mustang and American Iron car show sponsord by the Mustang Car Club of New England. The event was held at the Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough.
Day 1: I foamed her down with my pressure washer and foam gun, using Zep's Blue Marvel in the gun, then washed her via the two bucket method, again using Zep's Blue Marvel. I used a combination of waffle weave microfiber drying towels and my leaf blower to dry the car.
Day 2: I detailed the engine bay. it was pretty clean to begin with, so the bulk of the work was going over the "nooks and crannies" to get out any dust and pollen from previous road trips
Day 3: I gave the interior a through vacuuming. I cleaned the leather seating surfaces using a 20:1 solution of Woolite. I used Folex on the carpeting and mats and detailed the interior surfaces using Meguiar's Interior QD. I placed paper mats over the carpets and mats to protect them. The interior glass was cleaned using Stoners Invisible Glass.
Day 4: I went over the paintwork with Meg's #34 final inspecion and applied put a fresh coat of Meguiar's #21 synthetic sealant X2 to make sure that the paintwork was protected. The glass was cleaned with Stoner's IG and the windshield reated with RainX.
Day 5: after the Meg's #21 had cured; the paintwork was topped with Meguiar's #26 Hi tech yellow wax.
Day 6: The wheels were coated with Megs #21, the tires were coated with Meg's Hot Shine, then buffed to a satin like sheen
When I got to the show site (it's 7 miles from the Casa DaGonz), I went over the car with Meguiar's #34 final inspection QD, Meguiar's Interior QD, Meguiar's Wheel QD, and Stoner's Invisible Glass to take car of anything picked up from the road, then used my Dustbuster to go over the carpets one last time before having the car judged.
The hard work paid off, I took the gold (1st place) for my vehicle class (stock, 2005 to 2011).
Lauren Renee and her trophy...
