I saved a Cobra

[07 stang gt]

Here are some pics, ok alot of pics,of a 2001 Cobra I just finished up. One of Todds co-workers (THANKS for the referall Todd!!) cars needed a little help bringing this car back to life. It was really bad when she brought it over and she did not know what to expect when I was done with it.Needless to say she was overwhelmed when she picked it up! It was a lot of work but the results and a happy customer makes it all worth it. I think I got a customer for life !!:D 20772078207920802081208220832084208520862087208820 89209020912092209320942095209620972098209921002101 21022103

Wow, I never really got a good look at that car. Came out really amazing. I'm sure I'll hear about it tomorrow

That's terrific! Looks like two different cars.

You should see it in person. Unfortunately I was playing "dodge the old guy driving in the parking lot" this AM so I didn't get a good look at it, but from the second floor window it looked amazing. You could see the entire builing reflecting in it, and it was still a little cloudy!

Hold a clinic Jimmy!

Looks really nice. Great job. I think you use the same stuff that i use. Works great.

Strip wash, claybar, 3 step paint correction, glaze, wax. Lots of hours and a lot of TLC and techinque. All Adams Premium Polish products.I have a couple of things I am bringing to Eds Day that a couple of guys from NHMC wanted. Maybe I should bring some to Ed's Day if anyone needs anything or would like to see something work???

Jimmy, I'd like to see what results you get on a dull spot on my left rear quarter panel. Mine's original 20 year old paint! Nothing has totally succeeded yet - that would sell me on it!

[07 stang gt]

Dull spots usually are a pain since it got "dull " for a reason other than bad cleaning techniques etc. Different than correcting scratches etc. but anything is possible. PM me and swing it over sometime and we can see what we can do with it. I just did Rich's hood on his 05 black gt to see if would could correct some scratches he was not happy with and now he is having me do the whole car. Never can tell what it might be. What have you tried. Ever had a good claybar/paint correcting with a machine done to it ?? No matter how good you think your hands are, nothing beats a machine, DONE RIGHT !! Everyones car can shine to a point, but perfection comes from techinque, great products, and a MACHINE.

It's kind of hard to explain without looking at the car. Maybe we can chat a bit at ED Day. Josh at GSDT was going to re-clear it, but decided the problem was deeper. He sanded the clear coat with (I think) 800 and then polished and buffed it. It looks a lot better now, but it's still there. The area is a bit bigger than the size of a hand.

[07 stang gt]

Like I said, it is a spot that needs more attention than just a paint correction. I can work miracles but sometimes there is no fix except repaint etc, beyond what I am doing. But it would not hurt to try it since it does not sound like it will get any worse (or better) for that matter.

Nice, no excellent work!!!!

[JohnnyMac]

That's amazing. It does look like 2 totally different cars. Got any techniques for clear coat peeling? My roof is the worst of it all but my hood, front fenders and wing are starting to peel as well.

[07 stang gt]

Usually not, if it is eating at the clearcoat and peeling. Would need to look at though, you never can tell ???!!!
