Congrats Dave! Your car looks great!

Thanks for the pics!

Please give us some more pics when you get your mods done. That way we can drool some more!

 

Don't even know these people, but with those 2 cars sitting the driveway, I'm SURE I like them!

 

Wow...great car and pix Dave....Happy New Year!

 

Hey that car looks kinda familiar!! Oh, I know, I got one in the garage!

Great car Dave!!

I too was torn between stripes or not, but after getting them, I have no regrets!

I just applied a coat of Zaino I got for Christmas to the hood of my car to test it out, It is simply amazing what it does to a Black car

Enjoy!!

Dave,

Since I see the American Flag in many of your pictures I thought you wouldn't mind if I would share something you might not know about, you said your planing on tire upgrade with BF Goodrich. You might like to know that Goodyear and Cooper are the last two American own American made tires. Buy what you like but check them out at least, they make great tires.

Great Car to bring the new year in with, thanks for the photos.

 

Kevin - Actually that is my first 'mod' I guess - carried it over from my Escort.... but I don't smoke!!! I spend some time on the turnpike down here so I always hold change in it! I know the console section has the change holder slots (which took me DAYS to discover!!) but they only hold so much and I like having plenty of change in the car. Don't worry - NO ONE smokes in the Dark Knight.

Mustang Dan - thanks for that info - I didn't know that. Will check out Goodyear too now! (although I really like the tires they had on the auto show titanium GT - hence my interest in BF goodrich..)

Orthoguy - thanks man - and you shouldn't have any regrets - your car looks SWEET!!! (glad its buttoned up for the winter too - all safe and sound - can't wait till I move into my new place next week and I have my GARAGE!!)) If I DO go with stripes, its going to be like yours - match it to the Bullitt wheels. Can;t see doing it any other way. And that Zainos is pretty cool stuff - especially on black. Hoping if I have good weather tomorrow to get additional coats on there.

97svtgoin05gt - that made me laugh out loud - cool! Gonna show your post to them - they'll get a kick out of it!

To you guys and everyone else, thanks for the positive feedback - the car and this site and really helping the year finish out RIGHT. Everyone have a happy and SAFE New Year's Eve!!!

 

BEE-YOU-TEA-FULL

 

Dave,

Thanks for the DETAILED update! ...wish more folks would give such a complete review of their new rides as you do.

Pics look great and are appreciated as well

 

Great looking car.

Now for the hard question: how does it look when it has NOT been freshly washed/wiped down? That is my single greatest issue with getting a black GT. I LOVE the way it looks when it is clean, but a bit of dust (I live in the desert...) and it looks like a brown spotted mongrel. Does the Zaino help let the dust float on by with out sticking?

 

Your Mustang is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pics and your experiences with it.

 

Hey Dave nice Duo, yes.....still waiting, but it's coming!

I'll have my co-workers in Ft. Lauderdale keep an eye out for you. If a stranger comes up to you and says "Hi Dave, nice Mustang, Tony says Hi" you'll know why

 

Who is that lurking in the garage. It looks like under a bunch of boxes.

Ahhhh, that's my brother's TRUE baby..... currently undergoing maintenance and getting an new engine.

Here is Bullitt.......
(and if you click on the www link at the bottom of my post, you'll go to his website - more pics and a few short vids.... )

 

Well here's my input: I can't really say pertaining to your exact question, as DUST (as in the environment you drive in) is not something I really have to deal with. And I've been on vacation alot of the time I've had the car so haven't done a lot of long driving with it. BUT - using the Zaino's along with the gloss spray you go over the car with after a coat of polish, I do notice the car seems to stay a bit cleaner - watching RAIN is incredible - it just gathers in big droplets, beads, and runs right off. The other night, it rained on the Dark Knight before I could get the cover on - so it stayed out all night in the rain since it was already wet.

Next morning I came out and there were still some drops collected in the center of the hood that hadn't run off or evaporated, but as far as streaks or water spots... there really weren't any. I was impressed how great the car looked after sitting out in the rain all night. PLus, I've noticed if you get a smudge on the car or something similar, a quick buff out with a clean cotton towel and it comes RIGHT off. Bird droppings? A quick shot of that gloss spray, buff out, and you could never tell the bird hit ya.

So anyway, after two coats, that's my take on Zainos so far. B)

 

:gasp:

 

This is a GREAT shot! These are my two favorite color choices and to see them both together doesn't make the decision any easier. :bang:
