First time posting to this thread, and there was a lot done today!!!
I got my car back from the dealership last night after getting a complete warranty repaint. It's not I wanted because a repaint is never the same as factory, so I got a custom paint job done and today I cleaned up the car.
I vacuumed the interior, cleaned the windows and treated all of the leather/vinyl/plastics to a cleaner/conditioner. I found a light misting of overspray on all smooth surfaces, so I cleaned all of that up with a claybar. The screen, chrome bezels and steering wheel trim were all clayed for a smooth finish.
I then checked the exterior and found overspray there also. The entire car, even windows, got a clay treatment. I found many places where the body shop missed a complete buff after sanding, so I got out the Porter Cable and compound, and compounded the entire top surfaces of the car. I also clayed the door jambs to clean up any overspray in there. I got what I could.
Lastly, the new grill came with the Mustang emblem and I had to remove the hood latch to gain access to the emblem from behind to remove it. While under the hood, I cleaned up all of the compound dust and runoff from the body shop.
It was a long day and I still have more to go, but it's almost done!!! The following pictures were when I picked it up last night.
