Hey, Marc I got a 86 Mustang coupe race car, its black, very nice paint and shine but needs a wheel out and wax.
I don't think it needs any wet sanding, I have a heated garage on the eastside, could give me a ballpark price on the job,

Thanks

Hi there,
We work for a flat rate of $80/hr, so it just matters how far you want to take your vehicle. Seeing it in person will allow for a better estimate, but a black car of that size is likely somewhere between 6-9 hours on the exterior alone for what the majority of our clients come to us for: machine polishing AKA paint correction. This would include proper prep, wheel cleaning, exhaust tip cleaning, decontamination, machine polishing, final prep, and waxing/sealing the paint as well as treating any plastic trim. Feel free to give me a call at your convenience for more information or to further discuss what you're looking to have done.

I'd recommend starting off the a Dual Action polisher such as a Porter Cable 7424XP, Griot's Professional DA, or the Meguiar's G110v2.

Yes we have. We're still learning about these products and are still trying to learn proper application as there's a learning curve. http://www.autopia.org/forum/profess...utolavish.html

Get foam pad cleaner spray, let sit for 10 min... then wash em out in a sink. I keep "folding" them under the sink untill all the compound is out. Works good.
