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

- 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 like this video. Shows paint damage, then gets right to you fixing it. Not a bunch of talking nonsense.
Just straight to the point. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
It amazes me the process that goes into this. I understand it, I just don't have the patience. Awesome work!
Thank you! It’s definitely a long and tedious process, but always worth the results!
Keeep up the work bro! Definitely a fan!
Thank you! Stayed tuned for more!
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.
There’s a lot about this car that shouldn’t be the way it is, but that’s just the way car companies seem to do business these days. I appreciate your support!
Great video, great results...I am now a fan! Keep up the great work!

Me too!
Dang bro nice job 🐨
You got some skills
Thank you!
One word Gorgeous
One of my favorites!
Clean work dude. I need to find someone like you in the Dallas/Fort Worth area doing these. My mach 1 came in with a couple top coat issues. Nothing nearly as bad as this one though
Thank you! If you want, I can ask within the Ceramic Pro network and see who’s in the area. I’m sure there’s a few who can help you out.
@@HamptonsTouch please do! That would be great
@@tharagz08 message me your info and I’ll get you in touch with someone ASAP.

KAALEEEEEN
Thank you!
Nice work. I use hex logic foam pads. Can you tell me what setup gives you the best results?
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!
@@HamptonsTouch thnx ima switch my combo up and try these. I want the results you got from this gt500. Even with the pollen and dust you can see the clarity in the finish. Thanks
@@donnellebrooks8753 let me know how you like them!
Your foaming sprayer without a pressure washer works much better than the one I have and the suds from that bottle does the whole car! What brand is it?
This was hooked up to a pressure washer, albeit a not very good one. I was using a Greenworks pressure washer in this video, but I would not recommend it to anyone. I’m currently using a Ryobi electric pressure washer.
Wow 😮

Nice work bro!! Can you do my truck ?
Any time!
Did they wash it with a brillo pad before delivery?
It looks like it!
OMG, I cannot believe a $100K car brand new looks like that. WTH Ford??? First thing I did when I was looking at my 2019 Mustang GT with Performance Pack 1, was to inspect the paint. A few imperfections, but nothing like this. Dam!!!
Build quality is down across the board for all manufacturers it seems. No one seems to care anymore. Charge more, give less.
Now the question is will the owner maintain this coating properly?
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.
Are you in Missouri? Would pay you to help do the same thing for my Gt500
I wish I could help ya out, but I’m located in South Carolina. If you’re ever in the state, give me a shout!
345's rear???? 😯😯 I've got 315's and they seem HUGE😂
Yeah they’re massive tires. Gotta keep that thing planted to the ground and out of crowds lol
@@HamptonsTouch Looks amazing in all black
What a sexy Shelby.

🤟
The swirls in the paint hurts.
It was definitely a shame to see it delivered in such sad shape.
My dream car but the for money spent on it just why smh.
that's black paint for ya lol. That's why colors like the greys, silver
and even white are better on a mustang these days lol. Easier to
keep clean and shine.
I’ve always loved black paint when it’s polished up and clean, but we all know how that goes. I personally have a silver and white vehicles now and I always recommend them to everyone as well lol lesson learned
Owner??
It belongs to a client of mine. I’m more partial to the GT350 anyways
The damage a dealer prep guy can do in a few minutes is astounding...next time I order a new car I will tell them NO dealer prep whatsoever..I want is dirty as it came off the hauler...let me deal with it...what a shit show.
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.
What a disgrace the way that car came.
Absolutely terrible. Shelby is not what it once was as a company.
Looking this bad after spending $6 figures on the car I would've sent it back to the dealer and let those jokers fix this paint thing. This problem is total BS and never should've been sent off the lot looking this bad.
What’s worse is that this came directly from Shelby themselves like this. Their excuse was that “every car needs some polishing when new” and refuses to cover the cost to fix it.
That's borderline insane, now I know for sure I won't be buying one of those... If Caroll were still with us your car would've looked as you'd expect it to look. I'll stick with my gen 6 ZL1 that can't touch what you're putting down, I'm only at 647 to the wheels.
Yes sir - only a fool would pay for a new car with that horrible paint job !
Unfortunately the car was already paid for prior to its delivery. This car came directly from Shelby in this condition.
I've known Glazebrook for a long time and he only gets better at his craft Great video and great results! And I'll echo other people's comments that I like how he gets right to it!!
Thanks buddy!
