    As always, great instructions on a high maintenance area on the Mustang that always gets dirt from the shortest drive. I just recently changed out the entire panel, about $90.00 to delete the horse and just have a plain black panel. It will definitely be easier to keep clean, and I appreciate the instructions to do so. Auto Fanatic 007 is my key ingredient to reach that goal! Thank you for that!

    I have a new 2019 GT350 that now has about 3K miles on it. Just noticed last week that someone tried to steal my rear badge. I have been pissed off and stewing on this and how to fix the scratches and possible cracks in the panel every since. I may get the nerve to try out your technique. Awesome channel and thanks for all of the great content that you post!

    My 18 has fine swirls on it...have to do this. Dealer didnt wash it before I picked it up so I guess it must have been from the factory. Oh well just some fun time with the car...loving that 007 you sent me man! Stuff is awesome. Forgot I had a gallon of the Adams detail spray for a while lol

    Damn, my rear De kid was never that perfect even when my car was new. Now I always recommend people apply a clear wrap on the rear decklid to prevent the fine scratches.

    Thank you, this is exactly what I needed! The BOSS system looks pretty impressive, may have to give it a try. I typically use a lot of Chemical Guy's stuff for 2-stage paint corrections, but will give this a shot.

    Those piano black panels tend to have very soft paint. It would have been nice to put an LED light on it to see how it truly finished.

    Pro-Tect Plastics & Supply sells the transportation tape. It comes in various widths the smallest is 6"and all are 600" rolls. The 6" is $41 + $22 for shipping....I hope this helps. And to address my question from 2 years ago, can the panel be shot with clear coat ?

  • @BloodHound5.0

    Micro fibers scratch the decklid, literally anything Ive used to clean off a little spec causes scratches. Seems like you'd have to do this every other day if it just scratches the same after fixing it

      not sure because in order to do that you need to scuff the panel and it might cause an issue how this plastic panel is coated in manufacturing

    I thought you said you didn’t like the Griot’s system on your video about the different polishers/buffers you use. You even said you sold it on eBay haha what happened someone at Griot’s got a hold of you or what

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  6 лет назад +1

      never said that i may have been referring to their cheap polishers not the Boss system, I like the Boss system and they did not give it to me for free trust me on that Griots does not need my help to sell product. FYI the ones I sold were the Rupes, rewatch the video.

    • @rlr1080
      @rlr1080 6 лет назад

      Oh ok I thought you said you spent like $800 on two Griot’s and sold them on eBay, haha sorry I watched that one a couple weeks ago, my apologies. I will probably just get a flex buffer because German crap is usually good and should last a long time although the boss system was looking nice to me also. If I start a detailing side business I want something a bit more industrial so I was thinking of the flex buffer 3401 hd model, is it that much better than the Griot’s? Everyone seems to love the flex

    • @autofanaticcars
      @autofanaticcars  6 лет назад +1

      My Flex 3401 is a powerhouse, it wont die on me so it is worth the money. Also look at the Makita I used on my channel, been using this often as well still, its like a 2 in 1 machine and works quite well and Makita is well built and has great support long term.

Your gt350 is looking sexy. I’m looking forward to trying your products like 007 and the wheel cleaner also. When I run out of V7 and speed shine I will order some from you.
