1965 Mustang GT fastback - Rangoon Red

Hey All,

Wanted to share some pics of a car I had the pleasure of detailing yesterday. As I've been busy with the detailing; I haven't had much opportunity to post any of my work here, but had to find time for this one.

This car is CRAZY from nearly everything being original, to the nostalgic feel of the car to the absolute ground pounding sound of the NASCAR built 427cid power plant under the hood .......... not to mention how rare it is to find a 1965 GT fastback these days. There's a true nostalgia when working on a classic in comparison to an exotic. I have years of experience in dealing with each, but still have a true passion for the classics.

So ....... I spent 7 hours on a total detail of the engine bay, interior & exterior as well as under carriage. (Forgot to get pics of the undercarriage though)
The was also put up on jack stands inside the owner's garage ...... again, missed the pics due to being immersed within my work.

Products used:

Foam Cannon joined w/ 2600psi pressure washer (DP auto shampoo)
Adams Undercarriage spray
Perfect Glass window cleaner
Lexol vinyl cleaner & protectant
Menzerna Power Finish white 5.5" pad
DeWalt rotary w/ 5.5" white pad
PC7424 orbital polisher w/ 5.5" blue pad
Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 sealant
Chemical Guys Blitz spray on sealant
Silk Shine tire dressing
Meguiars metal polish
Adams degreaser

Before pics:












After Pics:

















My favorite shots:

Thanks man!

Yeah, I didn't trust myself to take the keys from him ........... he might not have seen me OR the car again!

Then again, I'm told the car only gets about 100 miles to 15 gallons ...... I wouldn't have gotten far.

great work!

I was interested in your use of both JS 109 and Blitz.

I thought Blitz was used once the JS 109 had faded a bit, i.e., weeks or months after an application of JS 109.

Did you use Blitz on top of the 109 or on areas to which you did not apply the 109?

I use the Blitz on the brighter & darker colors only. I applied it after the Jetseal 109 via orbital. All the Blitz really does is magnify the gloss & depth as it doesn't afford much for protection. The Blitz can be used in conjunction with any other sealant & can also be used under a carnauba wax topper.

Late reply time ......

it was headed to the Mecum auctions as it was being loaded on the trailer after these pics were taken.

Good call!

It leaks water @ the bottom seal of the rear window ........ badly. Don't know about the cowl though ....... no water under the hood after pressure washing it.
