Okay, the redfire GT comes in next week. I want to make it look sharp as soon as I get home: clay, Zaino, the works. Problem is, I have just enough arthritis setting into my elbows that all that arm work is more than I can handle. I wouldn't be able to drive the thing for a week while I recover.

This may sound silly, but I'd like to hire someone with experience to do the detailing for me. I live in San Diego, but would drive a bit for someone who really knows the tricks. I can advertise here, but if someone on my favorite Mustang site is local and interested, I'll come to you first.

Just PM me if interested, or if you have a suggestion for finding someone good in my area.

Thanx

Have you tried a power buffer? I couldn't believe how much I DIDN'T hurt after trying one vs. hand polish/wax and such. The difference was night and day--usually I hurt for two days, but not with the ol' Porter Cable of my Dad's. Hopefully, my wife will take pity and get me one for my birthday.

Enjoy your new car. I'm jealous!

 

Thanks for the info. Anyone know if that kind of buffer is going to leave swurls or anything?

 

well that sux u in cali.....cuz I could do a real good job for a real good price.

 

Do a search for poter cable polishers. Lots of people use them. Good bonnets and polishes do wonders. Make sure to get the random orbiter one. Griot's garage, many places on line sell them.

The Porter Cable 7424 will not leave swirls if your pads are clean. I used one for 2 years on my previous Stang, a black 96 GT and for a daily driver, it was dern near flawless. Check Lowes (they have a similar one, I don't recall the model number though. It's in the tool area and is a Porter Cable random orbital sander/polisher) or This one from Coastal Tool online. Coastal has a PC with the velcro backing plate already.
