Now the rain is done so hopefully I can finally quit with the detailing for a little while…I was up until 3 AM doing it on Thursday night, and then woke up at 9 on Friday and spent 11 more hours doing a full spring cleanup interior/exterior detail on my wife's car, including the big daddy glaze/two coats sealant/two coats wax…needless to say, I am completely spent and could never, ever do this for a living.

At least this time I FINALLY got some sun for some pics. The dealer I bought it from is in the background:







Just awaiting my new plate frame:







I really need to hide that block heater plug…





Absolutely LOVE this car.
why so much wax????? rain isn't just going to strip it off man. lol A good coating or two is all you need, not 7 lol just doing more work then you need to.

Mostly paranoia, lol. I try to make sure not to let the sealant become exposed, I like to try and keep that locked in under the wax so that I don't have to do the big daddy glaze/seal/wax process any more than necessary because that's complete hell to do. The wax was still beading nicely at each application after all the rain, but I just wanted to make sure. Now that the rain is done I should be good for awhile and back on a somewhat normal detailing regimen (finally).

They gave you three? Would of been nice if they'd saved them for other Mustang owners maybe. At the 50th anniversary event here there were at least 100 guys who didn't get one because the dealer ran out. I did get one though along with one of those cool keychains.

My pic of the day is nowhere near as exciting as what you guys have been posting, but I'll share anyway. There was a lot of manual labour involved....
