Mach 1 new Mach owner and needing maintenance guidelines..

1. I wash the scoop, stripes, and wing with the wash mitt along with the rest of the car. I use s100 engine brightener (found in motorcycle shops) to keep the scoop nice and dark. I use klasse all in one (can be found at www.autogeek.net ) on the stripes and wing, it cleans off any water spots and keeps them from fading.

2. I use klasse all in one first then klasse sealant on the paint. It lasts longer then other waxes I've used. For the interior I use a damp microfiber cloth, for cleaner I'll use woolite at 1 capful per gallon of hot water. I have used other cleaners like simple green but the woolite doesn't remove the white markings on switches.

3. I haven't replaced the spark plugs on the mach 1 but I like to use copper autolites in everything else. Most would agree that iridium plugs are the best but very expensive. $12.99 each.

4. Royal purple is too expensive for me, I use mobil 1 in everything. I use factory weight oils, do a search on oil and you'll find alot of info.

5. Condition the leather!

I tried meguiars but its like using armour all on your seats. I use lexol cleaner then lexol conditioner. From what I can tell only the front surfaces of the front seats are leather, the head rests, back seats and everything else is vinyl. I meguairs vinyl dressing is pretty good, but I went with lexol vinylex to try it.

Pig Spit is the best on the Shaker, hands down. You can find it at Wal-Mart, usually where the motorcycle stuff is.

I have used the OEM MotorCraft 5W-20 motor oil since day one.

How has your T3650 transmission been performing?
