Modded I sent you the paypal last night. :baller:

Also here's the latest addition to the stangpride collection. Pretty excited to the DJ Iron Gloss :naughty: I also got a free sample of the deep gloss.

ModdedMach · Jan 19, 2013

Your Fuzion shipped today sir, should be there tuesday.

PS. Already spent your money at DC :facepalm: lol

Glasur is on sale at Zymol, probably ordering that next week.

stangpride04 · Jan 19, 2013

Thanks again man! im stoked to pair it with these sealers and see which one I enjoy best.

So here are some thoughts on the new products.
Wet mirror- better than black light. Deeper reflection and slicker but idk how long it will last.

Iron gloss- pricey but great. A little Spreads a long way. Very slick. Very deep gloss in the color. Applied by hand applicator. Let sit for 20 mins. Buff out. It has to set for 24 hours then I can lay some wax on top of it.

Deep gloss-eh not as impressed. A tad slicker than iron gloss. Bright reflection. Dislikes: dusty when buffed off and creates static. Iron gloss absorbs better I feel and although I only used one coat I think two would be fun

P40 quick detailers from CG- very nice product. I like the carnuba properties of it as well as the "waterless" wash use.

ModdedMach · Jan 19, 2013

Nice products man, i was gonna get a nuba based Detailer but after i talked to vader, UWW was the way to go for me because it doesnt affect your wax at all, it can also be used before, inbetween and after waxing without affecting adhesion.

PS. When you apply Fuzion, let it dry, the directions say to buff it off before it dries, dont. Let it haze on the paint then remove. Its easy to remove and has a big impact on beading/sheeting.

Drum rollllllllllll......
Here's a vid of the results. Sorry for shaking and rushing it. It was like 10 degrees outside Hood is completely done. Driver's side is just glazed and sealed. The vid does not include it waxed. I finished it tonight. I'll put some pics before and after. I coulda slapped the **** out of the previous owners and I'm pretty sure it's been repainted on the driver's side causing the orange peel. Def need to try wet sanding.

And the pics....

Roof turned out good

This is a disaster

During.. After the 34

After 36, really slowed it down in speed and let the pad and compound combo work together. Great results.

Orange peel... At least it's scratch free

Very reflective from far away

The passenger side is in WAAAAAAAY better shape so I'm excited to see how well it turns out compared to this crap. Looks like I need to learn how to wet sand... Shook? lol Modded I will also be trying out the menzerna on the passenger side too.

ModdedMach · Jan 21, 2013

Reflections look great bro.

I would NOT try wetsanding unless you get your hands on a paint meter. ONE stroke too much with high grit paper and youll have to get your clear resprayed on that section. I saw a Porsche Cayenne today, brand new, black, very nice. Orange peel like a Mother, lol, i took a pic it was so bad.

Cheap paint meters are 4-600 i think lol. I want to get one eventually, the first big correction job i do thats more than 800 or 1k dollars.

Have a paying job tuesday and 2 more potential clients today, one is a brand new Fiat 500 Abarth Edition, GORGEOUS paint, coolest metal flake ive seen in person, black paint with greys, greens and pinks in the flake.

I'm gonna follow in shooks footsteps and give it a go on some crap body panels we have. My buddy also offered his truck as a test rat. As he will be tearing it down soon anyways. I'd really like to learn. And a paint meter would be ideal. It's on the list. No worries. And pleeeease post up pics of the fiat job! Sounds sexy

Thanks Cain. By the way, thinking about ordering those wheels you have when the time comes for new tires. Disclaimer: def not trying to pose your car. It will have a similar look though.

thats IF i get the fiat job, the woman driving was very interested in correction and her husband was too for his black chevy 2500 that never sees rain pretty much. I have them my business email. I really hope to get that job.

The lady in the fiat has already noticed that her brand new fiat has a ton of swirls, i explained to her that the people at the dealership most likely did it haha.

Very productive weekend. And so impressed with how well the passenger side responded in comparison to the driver's orange peel.
Products used:
Mother's clay 5 times to pass the baggie test!!!!! :banghead
-Cyan pad v34
-Tangerine pad v36
-Crimson pad PO85RD, Some panels I did with v38 and then Menzerna as a comparison. Very impressed with Menzerna. Would love to see their other cuts and polishes.
-Blue hex logic pad, I really like these pads for glazes and like products. CG wet mirror (very impressive pre wax gloss enhancer)
-Blue hex logic pad, CG Black light, 2 layers
Applied with foam applicator by hand. Dodo Juice iron gloss. 1 coat.
Cure time is 24 hours with this sealant. Temp hasn't changed in the shop so it be well cured by now as it's been 48 hours. I'm going to try and get some wax applied tomorrow before I throw the cover back on her. Wax will be 2 hand applied layers of Glasur :yes

Here's are the before/afters and a vid of results. very very pleased.

Vid:

reflection walk around - YouTube

After 34 and 36. Very light scratches left.

ModdedMach · Jan 30, 2013

Damn good reflections man, love a black car.

Cannot WAIT to correct my mach 1 again.

I have all the stuff, just wanna get done first. lol

stangpride04 · Jan 30, 2013

Thanks man. I have cabin fever bad so every night I'm usually out there tinkering on it. After the correction is done I'll be attacking under the hood detailing and pulling all the wheels off, cleaning the wells, painting calipers, doing new brakes, and all that jazz. Would really like to do the suspension at that point because I HAAAAATE taking off/putting on wheels.

Oh yea man, it may take a couple weeks but im goin ALL out on the mach 1, interior detail, under hood, im gonna clean and dress the fender wells, i also just got a great lugnut brush for agitating calipers and tight areas with wheel cleaner.

Im thinking about painting my brake calipers...idk tho.

stangpride04 · Feb 14, 2013

FINALLY finished the passenger side. Glasur and fuzion Gave a real nice wet look. I know it's not "typical" to layer waxes but being as novice to the hobby as I am, I'm just experimenting with different combos.The hood was done in black light, deep gloss, pete's and xxx. Pretty uniform. I can tell the difference in slickness and depth/quality from panel to panel but any laymen onlooker or car guy would literally have to stare at it for an hour to pick up on it. Car was dusty from being in the barn.

Here's the vid:

Crappy pics.. I never shoot in middle of the day but I just wanted to see the results of all the hard work

This side was done with black light, iron gloss, and pete's

Annnnnnd this is why I've come to love black more than sonic blue lol

ModdedMach · Feb 14, 2013

Once you fully correct your ride and obtain a defect-free awesome finish, the sealant and premium waxes you are using should really give you all the wet and deep you want. Using blacklight is most likely overkill since your paint is so close to perfect, i doubt youll see a difference without using it, the sealant itself and the oils in the wax are gonna boost gloss and wetness factor. BL may have more fillers but you dont need fillers man!

Looks amazing BTW. Love me a black mustang

Idk why, im just not a big fan of using a Glaze on a car thats been corrected. Im not saying you cant or its wrong too, just not my style lol.

But hey to each his own and your car looks amazing.

stangpride04 · Feb 17, 2013

Your opinion has been noted. maybe on the deck lid I can correct it, use a sealant, then layer cloud 9 with some glasur

Then I can get in close and examine the difference. Really the glaze is a "slickness" factor. And filler like you said. As explained in the reflection pic thread, I feel like my paint has a long long way to go.
On a side note, I did a friend's car, Nissan Murano and an f-150 yesterday. both are 2010 models. just clayed/glazed/waxed. I'm doing an explorer tomorrow. Bonus check will be in this week, as well as taxes, AND the 4 car detail. I see overnight parts from japan in the near future :lol mustang week here we come!

stangpride04 · Mar 28, 2013

:yummy: me some titanium and glasur combo. WOW!

I also got ballsy on my deck lid and wet sanded a few areas with some 3000. 34 and 36 performed as advertised. I'm really starting to get used to them. Would still like to get a menzerna kit though. Anyways enjoy all you hippies!

Stevey92 · Mar 28, 2013

MAAANNN that looks good! I love the CG bottle pic, they have awesomr bottles and that p40 is such a cool color against the black, I want my calipers that color. I think ill try the same, wet sanding.my trunk lid that is. It's got really bad scratches from the spoiler. Again great job man!! Car looks awesome!!!!!!!

I taught him how to do that^^^lol

JP. but for real those reflections are legit StgPride. Black requires extra attention and patience and sir, you have conquered.

Very nice.
