I use a soft wooly wash mitt for washing (i think Turtle Wax made it), and Meguiars Water Magnet towels for drying. I also picked up several soft terrycloth towels for polishing..auto parts store sell them, they have soft stitched edges and are made just for cars..worth the money.

Picture quality is great. Word of advice. This separates the really good photographers from snapshot photographers. Watch the backgrounds. The telephone pole and houses detract. Take a little time and put your car in a place where we focus just on it.
I don't intend this as criticism just some helpful tips.
I teach photography, photojournalism to be specific.

With digital, take lots of photos. Experiment. Try different backgrounds. You can always delete what you don't like. The last photo is exactly what I'm talking about if you pay attention to the background.
Places such as ofoto.com can make a 16 by 20 of that for about $15 or put it on a calendar, mouse pad, t-shirt or even book for you.
Use that camera and have fun. That's how you get better. What better subject could you have than a new Mustang. Unless it's a hot woman to go with a hot car. I hope my wife doesn't read that.

got it from raptor performance.....works great ! very detailed install, just a power source, negative source, and you tap into the positive of one of your coilpacks for your spark plgs


most of the install time was routing it through the firewall.....wiring was easy and they give you great instructions...
