I don't know what those are, but after seeing the results I need to get me some of that!

I curbed mine yesterday so I could help a buddy change the brakes on his car. It was over 100 deg yesterday, which made it suck that much worse.

As far as the Mustang goes....I'd left a bluetooth thermometer I got off kickstarter on the dashboard, so I checked it when we finished. Roasting out in the sun, even with the sunshade in the windshield... 151 degrees!.

Just for a little perspective, I had another one of those in my attic and that one only hit ~120 degrees

Keep that in mind the next time you hear about somebody leaving their dog in the car on a day like that

The Mustang was disgust'ang from it's 3 day jaunt down to the Jersey shore. But it's been too mf'ing hot even in the garage to really give it some proper TLC so I have to do it in stages in the morning.

This morning was spent on the interior...vac, shampoo, leather conditioner, looks better than new again. Also reorganized and cleaned the trunk. Still sweated my **** off.

Tomorrow will be a complete exterior detailing, probably a coat of wax, and then later in the week I'll spend some quality time on the wheels/tires and glass.

It's a labor of love.

Took in a show in Behtlehem, NH yesterday with my fiancee and a few other people from the NH Mustang Club.
After the show the tradition is that we take some pics in a spot where Mt Washington is in the background:

I don't have a baby, unless you're taking about my vehicles and my little puppy Bella.

Thanks buddy! Those items I mentioned are chemical guys products. As most of you know, I'm a CG fan amongst other detailing brands too. But I'm pretty happy with their detailing line lately. They really work.

Thanks Burton.
But ... trade, umm, what?
She wouldn't trade that Shelby for much, especially a cervix wagon, lol ...
She probably wouldn't even trade it for your Mustang, no offense of course

Keep us posted... are we doing a side poll/bet for whoever's closest?

HA!
I'm not gonna spin it to the moon and I have the heavy 20's on the car, so I highly doubt I'm gonna break 600.
But I'll update as soon as I know.
