Well I decided to wax & detail the stang for like the 1st time since last fall













I'd like to say I knew this was going to be a cool pic, but it was totally on accident.







My stuff used consisted of the following:

Meguir's Gold Class Shampoo/Wash (awesome shtuff)
Black Magic tire shine
Wax-as-You-Dry detailing spray
Mothers Mag Billet Aluminum Polish (for the wheels)

I gotta say I was VERY impressed with the wax as u dry stuff. I wasnt expecting alot, but it really does bead water 100X better than it did just a couple days ago, a decent amount of swirls were reduced, and the shine is definitely deeper. Its not a true replacement for a good wax/polish job, but if you dont have a ton of time its worth the extra bit of effort.

And also everyone go buy a Microfibre towel to wash, wax, & detail your cars. I swear a pure cotton towel feels like sandpaper on the paint after using the microfibre towels.


Next up: New front bumper & driver side 1/4 panel are being replaced due to some minor damage about 1.5 yrs ago, 20% / limo tint, 302 badges (same font as current) and possibly some nicer foglights.

Why a new front bumper? That one looks cool. Also I like the wheels- nice lip on 'em. BUT, why not get an exhaust before the bumper cover, it just doesn't seem like you need it i guess? (I just can't see the damage i guess)

Its the front bumper that needs replacement. You cant see it in the pics but its cracked and scratched on the driver side and the fender got pushed a tiny bit and it has a very very small crease.

And I aplolgize for the ugly tailpipes. I hadnt cleaned them yet because they were too hot from driving to throw polish on. I do plan on getting some replacement tailpipes because the stockers are starting to look wimpy to me.

And the wheels are American Racing Torq Thrust II's (chrome) 17x9.5 & 17x11.

i need to check it out a bit more but i thought there would be clearance issues with those monster back wheels? 11" is pretty large and i thought that only the IRS could handle 'em- oh well i guess a misconception.

I read that 10.5" and up can rub with an IRS when lowered. Check the "FITMENT" popup on this page for the explanation:

Looks GOOD! I too SWEAR by microfiber towels now. I use nothing but them. They were the ONLY towel that didn't scratch my polished wheels.

That's looking pretty good. Where do you buy the microfiber towels? I've never heard of them before.
