2011 GT Grabber Blue Paint detail.
 

My pal called and wanted to clean up her Mustang, I had the day off and brought my detailing supplies along, with the help of her husband we begin our 10 hour Paint detail. What a nice colour, Grabber blue is now my second favorite colour next to Vapor silver:wink:

Dawn liquid soap Wash was first used to aid in removing any prior wax, used in a foam cannon and left to soak for 5 min then a proper clean with a Clay Bar. Washed once more with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash,and blow dried with a leaf blower this left the finish "silky smooth" With no previous wax left behind.
Griots machine polish 1& 2 followed up with 2 coats of Chemical guys xxx Hard Core Paste wax.
Here are a few pictures.

Great job, looks fantastic. 10 hours of detailing is Snakebite worthy. lol

Beautiful shine! Unbelievable satisfaction with that job, I'm sure!

Looks great!

Looking good. Should be to the satisfaction of Snakebite and Dubldee.

Yeah absolutely! It looks great, and of course it's my favourite colour.:chacha:

I have never used that product, as I am now totally sold on Maquires Ultimate Compound, then AutoGlym polish, and AutoGlym wax, but I'm curious when you say you used Griots machine polish 1& 2, is the 1st one a compound?

The only reason I ask, is because I may consider trying it, and When i did mine, I think it was far more than 10 hours, with the compound, polish and wax, but when i was done there was not even the slightest swirl in the paint anywhere. It was like looking into water. Of course that was on my 2010 Grabber Blue, and I just traded it off for a new 2012 Grabber Blue, so I get to do it all over again.

I used the Porter Cable 742. Here's a link to the Griot's Machine polish... Machine polish 1 was used for a few deeper scratches with Lake Country yellow pad the machine polish 2 was used for swirls with a Lake Country orange pad. The wax was applied with a red pad :tup
The owner was very excited, it came out nice!
I have used the Chemical Guys machine line of polishes on my Shelby and found it great but I had run out..
A few tip's that I have followed and works well for me, If your gonna use a Random-Orbit polisher. Start clean, the cleaner the paint the better. work in small sections 1.5'x1.5', take a sharpie and place a noticeable mark on the pad.. so you can see if they're still rotating! Slowly work the polish until it breaks down and goes a little dusty, wipe the area down with a microfiber cloth and inspect. Have good lighting and mega patients it's takes a lot of time.
