Fixing The Paint On This New Shelby GT500 Signature Edition. I Can't Believe How It Was Delivered!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This brand new 2021 Shelby GT500 Signature Edition came off the truck with 19 miles on it looking like this! Some panels were worse than others, but I've seen $30,000 Hyundais in better shape than this off the lot. Seriously! There are several other issues going on aesthetically that are out of my control, but I'll fix what's within my power. After polishing, I topped the paint with Ceramic Pro to make the paint pop and to make future maintenance easier.
You may notice lint and dust on the paint in the final shots. The coating was still fresh when filming this, so lint from the towel kept clinging to it, and we're also entering pollen season here in the south, so it was near impossible keeping the panels I was filming totally clean.

    I know black magnifies swirls and scratches but i don't think I've seen a brand new car look like that from the dealer. They must've ran it through an auto wash several times. You did a helluva job bringing it back.

  • @HamptonsTouch

    I have a few different polish/pad combos I use depending on what I’m working on, but for cutting, I always stick with Lake Country wool pads for rotary and Griots Garage microfiber pads for DA along with Meguiars M100 compound. For refinement, I typically use HD Speed or One by 3D on a yellow Rupes pad. A lot of people don’t like HD Speed, and it might sound hackish to use, but I find the wax additive in it makes removing the product from the paint so much easier, and especially on soft paint where the polish tends to stick to it and requires a good amount of tug and pull to get it all off which can scratch the paint back up. I also use Menzerna 3800 with a black Lake Country pad for some finicky paints, but mostly works great on harder paints like Mercedes-Benz. I hope this helps!

    I’ve maintained it for him, but the car has unfortunately gone back and forth to the dealership for a broken hood latch, where it sat outside for several weeks, then an employee of the owner gave it a dry wipe down with a microfiber and roughed the paint all up. So I had to do it a second time.

    I always tell my clients when they’re buying new cars to avoid allowing them to clean it, even when its in for service. The worst part about this particular car is that it came directly from Shelby like this, it never went to the dealership. One would think they’d have better quality control there, and then they had the nerve to deny it was their fault.
