Imma show ya how to get your shine on...
 
Well yesterday I finally had the time to give her a good washing and wax. First time every waxing a car and I think I did pretty good. There are some pics of the newly installed control arms in there too. Oh madmatt, thanks for telling me and my bud how to get the axle and control arm to line-up. We would of never got it if it wasn't for your reply.

Oh, I definitley think these are the best I've ever taken too. Took some of TurbLu's tips from MPH.

very nice.....how ya liking the new arms?

shad0ws 02-27-2006 02:06 PM

Haha, tested them out on my favorite exit ramp today on the way to school today. Posted speed limit for it was 25mph and i took it at around 55. She never felt like she was going to even think of breaking loose. I usually take that ramp at 45 and it feels pretty close to breaking loose. I mean it's not a huge huge difference but it's noticeable.

Black stangs are the best..:cool:..

Stan 02-27-2006 03:25 PM

lookin good meng!

swervo 02-27-2006 03:33 PM

Looking good man. Love black stangs, but those swirl marks are a PITA. I have alot of them myself and it irritates the hell out of me.

shad0ws 02-27-2006 03:44 PM

LoL, first time ever waxing and the only way I could think of doing it was how Mr. Miogi taught that girl on his Van. My told me earlier today that if you don't want swirls then you need to apply the wax in a side to side motion instead of a circular motion. I'll try that next time.

When you can, clay bar your car and get a good swirl remover (like Poorboy's SSR 2.5). If you really want a good shine, get a Porter Cable 7424. Im going to get one soon. Check out these sites for some more tips. www.autopia.org www.autogeek.net www.properautocare.com http://www.exceldetail.com/

Nice job! I just ordered all new Sonus stuff, new bottle of PS215, and some new micro fiber towels. I can't wait to find a nice day.

Awesome...Do you have a PC to apply the products? Take pics after you detail. Im thinking of getting poorboys ssr 2.5 and 1, then applying klasse all-in-one, sealant, and p21s for the final layer.

BrentK 02-27-2006 07:02 PM

Do 8 coats of zaino followed by s100 and you will think anything else is stuff you would buy at walmart. It took me about a week by hand and pc but after you will not have to worry about it for another 6 months to a year...I did mine in the summer and it looks as good today as the day I did it

I do not have a PC. I also use AIO as part of the process. I love the Sonus stuff and the p21s is the best stuff I ever put on a car.

looks good! would look better minus the wing

rebelyell 02-27-2006 11:41 PM

Looks real good. I haven't had a nice weekend here in the last month and a half.(Ask swervo.. NC weekends have sucked all year). we have beautiful weather all week then Friday comes and boom. I'm gonna clean mine up until she looks new. OH and BTW your tail pipes are kinda dingy.. Wipe them things down too.. Plus the inside of your rims, but we won't go there.. LOL :D

herndy_1 02-28-2006 06:13 AM

Yeah I am planning a major paint overhaul (wash clay wash polish wax) as soon as the weather gets nice and we get beat out of basketball sectionals which start today.

Oh yeah and rebel....I ordered those headlight covers yesterday. :D
