incase you missed my thread from last night.. i clayed and waxed my car like 4 days ago, and then yesterday, it felt like sand paper!?!?.. so i was pissed..
so i went and bought a buffer, new meguiars clay kit, meguiars 3 step process (cleaner wax, polish, wax) and wow.. the freakin car looks better than new.. the reflections are better than my bathroom mirror!
(and after i washed it the grime and little bumps that felt like sand paper came off for the most part.. but wtf.. so i re clayed it again!.. (started at 9:30 this morning, finished at 5:30)

nice and shiney. Is it my imagination or does your chin spoiler have more of a gap between it and the body than others who have that same one installed?

Looking good, man! I just clayed my car on Friday with Turtle Wax Ice Liquid Claybar. I washed it, clayed it, washed it, waxed it, spray waxed it. First time to wax this year. Of course, now it's covered in pollen.

wow.. thanks for the compliments guys..
first.. the chin spoiler.. i know.. i dunno wtf happen with that sh.it.. im going to get under there by the end of this week and put some screws in it so its not liek.. sagging... or whatever its doing.. but i love how much better the car looks wiht that $30 mod!..
also, i forgot to mention the new exhaust.. im now running a SLP (for the longest time i thought it was bassani.. LOL).. modular X pipe (high flow cats).. cutouts... and pypes mid mufflers.. i will be posting some clips i made of it later tonight..

lol.. i know.. im going to keep this parked in the garage for as long as i can, and leave my moms out side.. under that same tree.. LOL.. do you liek that liquid clay sh.it that ICE makes?.. i tried it once.. it gave it a smooth surface.. but i dont know how much its really taking off.. i still like the traditional way better.. but thats great when you dont have time..

when you do this, please tell us how you did it
all i can tell you is that i hooked them up so they run off the headlight switch (turn on when your parking/headlights turn on/off) and are also run with an auxillary switch so i can turn them off while the headlights are.. and are alos hooked up too the dimmer.. so they dim wiht the interior lights..
but i cant tell you any more than that bc i am selling these as kits so its basically a plug and play hook up, and makes it easy for the "customer".. and should take under 30 mins to install.. the kits include EVERYTHING you need along wiht instructions and step by step pictures..
and im am acutally in the process of being "ALLOWED" to push the products on the forums by becoming a sponsor.. so till then if you intrested, just PM about the Mustang Accent Kits and i can give you more info and direct you on where to purchase..

lol.. "DONT YOU PUT THAT ON ME!!!!.. DONT YOU PUT THAT ON ME RICKY BOBBIE"... lololol.. scene from ricky bobbie, right before he stabs his leg with the knife, and says to the black guy, that he hopes his kids grow up as athletes and then have there legs taken off.. LOL!!.. and thats how he reacts. .and thats how i want to react.. lol
i am NOT DOING THIS AGAIN for another atleast 2 or 3 months.. but i will DEFFINATELY have her lookin good for that cruise.. god i cant wait..

looks goooood!
JUST THINK.. thats gunna what the top half of your car looks liek!!.. niceee.... cant freakin WAIT to see how that thing comes out..
quote:
SIBERIAN -
your car is very nice minus all the random decals
lol.. i know.. im working on it.. i really dont want to take the Hurley sticker off.. bc where i live, its a bunch of old ppl.. so when few and distant girls that DO live around here, see that, they atleast know im a younger guy and not an old hag.. the red sticker is my year pass for the beach.. i am there like once or twice a week.. on the back, we have a IAFF sticker.. basically a union sticker for firefighters.. and my College sticker on the right side of the back winow.. and i guess the VMPtuning is accountable too.. i dont htink it look all the that bad.. but i can always take it off..
quote:
DARKFIREGT -
Wow. Almost looks like mineral grey!
I KNOW!!.. i love color that came out after this detail and pictures... its funny how the alloys change colors.. some times they look almost black.. sometimes they look like vapor or tungsten or whatver...
love it..
thanks again guys
