Ruben color-sands all surfaces, including the hood and decklid. Thesepieces should look as dull as the rest of the body.		http://images.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/127_0401_house_20a_s.jpg
Color-sanded surfaces give way to the rubout.		http://images.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/127_0401_house_20b_s.jpg
Ruben begins with the more abrasive compound to cut the surface, alongwith a buffing wheel.

As Ruben works the surfaces, you can see the result. This first tripover the body with a buffing wheel and 3M's Foam Polishing Pad Glazebrings the deep, rich luster out of our House Of Kolor finish.		http://images.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/127_0401_house_22_s.jpg
Hood and decklid surfaces are worked the same way as the body. Check outthe shine.		http://images.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/127_0401_house_23_s.jpg
After Ruben has buffed the surfaces with 3M's Foam Polishing Pad Glaze,he shifts gears, using Meguiar's Mirror Glaze and a foam pad. This stepcuts an even finer finish, which gives us a deep blue finish. We lovethe result.
