I didn't realize how many particles were in the paint, till I used a clay bar. The difference was flat out amazing, with a clay bar rub down and 2 coats of Meguires the paint was as smooth as a baby's butt. A clay bar is definitely worth the 5 or 10 bucks it costs.
Absolutley!!! Without a doubt

Speaking of brakes, does anyone use ceramic brakes? I hear the are better and won't leave much brake dust at all. My Jeep Grand Cherokee is awful, brake dust everywhere! Was thinking of putting them on the mustang.

Can someone please explain what "bedding in the brakes" means? thanks!

"Bedding the brakes" refers to heat cycling them several times, gradually increasing the amount of heat you apply. Usually, you start off with light to moderate braking and work your way up to heavier brake application. If you would like to see a more technical description of the proper procedure, visit the Baer Racing website, they have a full description of their brake bedding procedure. Hope that helps

Agree with not 'babying" it and vary the speed. I keep the revs up and am careful to not bog it down
