yeah, it removed some...because I washed the stang....dried it...then clay barred it. When I was done..the clay bar (which was white) had dirt on it. Plus it made the paint VERY smooth...like glass.

That looks beautiful! Don't like to be a nitpicker, but you missed a spot in the middle. Oh, wait minute...never mind.....that's you.

Nothing like shorts and sandals and a new Mustang. Sitting here watching the snow fly while in the unending wait line for mine. Thanks for rubbing it in. Looks great!

I like that...you remember that book awhile back,"A Day In The Life of America"? Hundreds of photographers fanned out across the U.S. and all took pictures on the same day - great book! Maybe there could be a "Day In The Life of a Mustang" - pictures of America as taken in the reflections of Mustangs!

It's all in the camera angle and the way the sun hits the paint. Meguiars makes a real nice product and it shows in this wax job. I really like their NXT wax on black cars.

Very nice!!

I'm dying to get the Zaino products on mine. Only problem is it's 21 degrees out right now..... Can't use Zaino until its over 60. And in Detroit, it won't be 60 for another 2 or 3 months.......
