1st wax of the season and 1st Clay EVER!
 

It was BEAUTIFUL this past Friday so I took the oppurtunity to clean my stang. She looked gorgeous!!! But unfortunately that is not the case now cause it is rainy and dreary out at least I got a few good shots out of it though

Looks pretty good, thinking about visual mods?

Very nice shine!

o0o0o SHINEY!... that first pic in the second post looks real cool with the reflection...

I like the last pic, very photogenic. Would look better if it was Mustang lane.

Nice shine and good lookin' pics!!! :beerchug:

Does clay bar help reduce swirl marks?

I bought myself a clay bar kit a few days ago, gonna use it right before some heavy waxing/buffing.

No, clay bar reduces surface contaminants. Does nothing for swirls. HOWEVER, claying a cars surface is the first step in detailing it correctly and obtaining SHOW CAR QUALITY results.

Yea, thats what I thought. BTW thanks to the links you sent me I knew that Clay barring was a first in the auto detailing world... Thanks bud!:beerchug:

heh I got my car professionally waxed and cleaned for over spray from contruction last year, and the clay bar they uses DIDN'T ****!, I still got overspray esspecially on my Mirrors, I just gave up... my car has so many nicks and kinks...

Yea, my car is actually in surprisingly good shape as far as paint/swirls for being an 01 with 50K miles.

Once I get my ground effects re-painted and fixed up, I'm gonna do some detailing.
1. clay bar
2. Meguiars #83 with foam bonnet
3. Meguiars #80 with same kind of foam bonnet just a fresh one
4. Meguiars NXT wax with MF bonnet

Only problem I'm having is finding a cutting bonnet for the #83, I have the Craftsman 10" Orbital buffer, works well, just uses bonnets and not pads.

Try the #80 first before the #83. It may be too agressive for what you are using. Also, I wouldn't use a cutting pad (bonnet) with the #83

I knew it was ok to use the #80 first, but what if it ISNT aggressive enough?
Then I would have to use #83 and then #80 again, isnt that a lot of wax buildup in a short amount of time?

Would two coats or #80 be fine to do if needed? Followed by wax?

And would a regular foam bonnet be fine to use with #80? or #83?

Posted some pics over in my thread, don't wanna hi-jack suthrnstang's thread.

Yeah I am planning on it just waiting to get some $$$$$ to come in LOL But taillight tint is on the way.. already ordered. Then GT Scoop, grille delete, and chin spoiler are next. THEN my fr500's black with the chrome lip.:beerchug:

That would look AWESOME... I'll have to find me one of those and post it up. Maybe I could try and photoshop it when I get the program :clap: But thanks for the compliment.

That goes for everyone else's compliments as well

I didn't even think of that, I might be able to PS it for you.

shiney shiney but you need to remove that door ding thing in the center of your door. that looks like poop.

Here is a quicky....BTW, I am no expert with teh PS.

id be hammered one night and make that chair into some sort of down hill coaster. haha

Hey that looks kewl... I like that. I'll have to make that my wall paper :beerchug:

LOL Trust we have tried it out in the fields that are behind us. The wheels dont roll very well. We gotta put some wd40 on them to get them rollin :banana:

How hard would it be to remove the door ding? I never really paid attention to it really LOL
