my new 98 GT; lots of pics inside!

[wht93gtEd]

I know, the back tires are WAY too small! A set of 10.5" rims came with the car so I just need to pick up some tires for them.
Enjoy!

yes; there is line lock

interior is mint

V1 S-trim; 10-11lbs

As far as the detailing goes; I use a PC7424 DA polisher with Lake Country pads. In order of working:
- LC CSS Yellow pad - Menzerna IP
- LC CSS Orange pad - Menzerna IP (intensive polish)
- LC CSS White pad - Menzerna FPII (final polish 2)
- LC CSS Black pad - Menzerna FMJ (full molecular jacket)

wow, nice car man! Looks real clean and well maintained. Congrats!

car looks awesome!

how do you like the Menzerna? i've been using alot of chemical guys products : 721, scratch & swirl, p40, wet mirror, extreme carnuba, etc. i like it but want to broaden my collection.

have you tried auto glym hd wax? stuff is awesome.

Menzerna is legit... I have a large container of powergloss and used it to compound my last DD ('95 Grand Prix). I was really impressed with how fast it cut and the relatively decent shine it left. There were some swirls left so I had to make another pass w/ a polishing pad and a mild compound.

The only thing I didn't like about the powergloss is that it smells like lighter fluid and the tip gets clogged up very easily. I don't know how IP and FPII compare though

I love the Menzerna, it's pretty easy to use and the IP/FP combo is great. This was my first time using the FMJ and it was amazing. I'm upset I've had it so long and never used it before. It goes on super easy and wipes off even easier...quite honestly I was shocked. Lets see how well it holds up now.

I've never tried the auto glym wax, but I do have their glass polish and I use that all the time. You should see peoples faces when I'm using the DA polisher on my windows with a glass polishing pad, but it takes off so much dirt, stains, water spots, that seem to be "stuck" in the glass. It's great! It can really make the windshield and windows look factory new, even on older cars.

You guys and your "My car is so shiny, it can blind Boeing 747 flying over." Seriously though, on a sunny day, you could probaly start a fire.

Clean looking car. Do it justice and get some pictures in the sun. Everything looks good without sun.

Wow, very nice! Is it still NPI or PI?

its NPI. I'm not sure if I mentioned it but I just recently picked this up. I had a thread earlier asking everyone in 4.6 talk their opinions on buying it. Glad I took everyones advice! :snsign:

ouch

The sun was out, some of the pics are in full sun actually, but it was being difficult with the cloud cover rolling through and the sun going in and out.
The best thing I have is this video we shot the same day; me and 1990Coupe were messing with his GoPro camera. I think you can see the paint pretty good here. This was just cruising around; nothing nuts.

This is just another quick pick 1990Coupe grabbed of both our cars; unedited pics.

Pretty damn nice, man. Makes me miss my '94 GT

I can't wait to take mine to a professional for a nice wax, and whatever other bs they do. I don't want to risk messing up the paint at all (too many chips and a couple of rust spots already ).

 

[Maxpowers]

That video was such a tease. Car looks pretty sweet though.

 

[03_TrueBlue_GT]

Great looking car man looks like the previous owner new how to take car of his stuff! 68,958 miles is amazing for this car too.

[wht93gtEd]

[PULMEOVR]

The red and black colour combo is badass! Looks like it was very well taken care of.
