Are the stripes painted on or vinyl decals? I'm going to order the boss hood stripe from graphics-express, but am wondering how waxing them affects their durability. I would think waxing over them would be beneficial...

I prefer to use Meguirs NXT because it is one step instead of all the mixing and multi-step process used when using Zaino. It is easy to get and it is cheaper and the main thing, it gives you a great shine.

 

They are vinyl and yes, you can wax over them. I highly recommend you do wax them.

 

john groovin check these waxed vinyl rally stripes. awesome results.

very nice

 

Awesome in yellow! Last summer I bought my 18 year old an '04 for high school graduation, and he grabbed a brand new brochure for the '05 as we prepared to drive his new stang away. On the way home, I browsed through the 05 brochure and my eyes fell on the picture of the yellow GT with the dealer installed racing stripes and said "I have to have that!". It took several months and literally ended up finding two coming off a truck at a dealership: an auto in yellow, and a manual in red. I went with the manual.

I'm going for a sort of Boss look with the hood stripe, chin spoiler, rear louvers and black rear wing. Haven't yet decided on the side stripes (the L shaped "Boss" or the C stripe), but I think it will look good on my Torch Red. Since I'm adding real hood pins and the quicklifts for the hood, I'm just going to have a body shop do it all for me. Hopefully all done in the next 30 days.

Here's a white with only 3 coats of NXT. What do you think, Kevin?

 

First off - adrenalin, your car looks amazing...

I've been using Mothers & Meguires products for years. I currently have 2 coats of Meguires paste on the yellow stang. Last night, we picked up the NXT...

Question: should I start from scratch - wash the car with dawn and claybar before doing 1st coat of NXT?

 

I know I would start from scratch since you are now using a different product.

 

:worship: that is AWESOME!!! i cant wait to use the NXT now! thanks for the pictures!!

 

It seems for the $$ the Meguires is the way to go. Where is the best place to purchase? I've looked around and can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

go to the meguires website. They will give you a list of dealers in your area.

 

I get my NXT from Wal-Mart

 

Thanks for the reply John. Start from scratch it is...

We bought the NXT [liquid] at Wal-Mart last night for $13 and change...

 

Great job!! Oh so shiny

Can't wait to see the louvers on

 

Should have the street scene kit and louvers all installed in 2 weeks. Parts have been shipped. Should get them tomorrow or Tuesday (darn long weekend). Wednesday engine work gets done so Monday, July 12th off to the body shop for the rest
