Alright...my back is toast but the new ride is somewhat clean. Anyone who's knows me closely knows that I'm pretty anal and a car doesn't sit long if it's dirty. Picked up a 2 owner 06 GT in red with red leather and I couldon't be happier. The PO was an awesome guy and dropped it off at my place this morning. He spent a fair buck putting a ton of go fast goodies into the car.

This is how she arrived.

The PO hadn't left 5 minutes and the car got a full soaking of ironx to decontaminate the paint.

Then a bubble bath

Seats out and the entire carpet was vacuumed and cleaned.

Then onto the paint. I only did a All in one which turned out pretty good. The white strips held a lot of dirt whicheap came out great. You can see the left strip is dirty.

Heres a similar hood shot of the hood strips.

All finished for now. I realized when I looked at these pics my camera has a smudge on the lenses

What all in one did you use, and any tips for polishing the vinyl. Mines about due for a deep cleaning for this year.

You dodged a bullet, was intending on heading up to see after I finished work but UB had already posted it was gone. Hell of a good buy, great looking car.

I used HD Speed. I've been dabbling with it a bit and it works quite well. I really should get out the fg400 from Menzerna but I just didn't have the patience today. I use zero pressure when on the vinyl and take my time not to go too hard at it.

Congrats bud! Beauty of a car! My backs killing me too! I finally started to cut and polish mine. I'm not nearly as fast as you, so it took me two days just to do the top of the car. (hood, cab, trunk). I could barely get up this morning. lol

Let me know when you are free so I can come by and take it for a spin!
