hey
Since i finally got the gt, i want it to look nice all the time...so i wanna kno about certain items to help cetain parts of my car.
What is the best stuff to use on outside and inside windows to keep them clean? After water then soap and scrub then water, if i air dry for 5 mins. then use the Absorber, will MOST waterspots NOT show? And is there anyway to tell if my cars been waxed...dealership said they waxed it, but doesnt really seem like they did? (when i wash car will water just bead if it was waxed?) thx guys

Same here.Also get a good wax on it and some detail spray and Micro Fiber towel's.I only wash mine if it's very dirty.Most of the time a fast wipe down with some detail spray and it looks just waxed.

Yea I use the Absorber to dry it.The regular micro's don't work good for drying but they do make one's that do.This is the detail spray I use and it kick's arse.
http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog....1001&SKU=11146 Will take off road tar and bug's and leave it looking awesome and it work's damn good on wheel's too.

monkeh,
I have had the same problems washing my black mustang too. When I first got the car I got all the bugs and sap from the prev owner off with a clay bar. And same here I dry with a chamis and get nasty streaks and spots, UNLESS I wash it in the shade either early in the morning or late afternoon, and I have to keep spraying the whole car everytime i wash a section (horriable water here). And yes detail spray is wonderful, I use Meguiars, and I wax with the Gold Glass (looks good on the black).
