Just picked up 13 GT.. Fully detailed and pics
I told the dealership NOT to touch the car when it arrived because they don't give a **** and will scrub the rail dust right into the paint/clearcoat. Most people don't realize clay barring a brand new car is vital to having seamless paint. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I picked the car up on Wednesday and immediately did clay bar, wash, glaze, wax.
After allowing the NXT wax to cure for about 48 hours, I followed up with a thin coat of P-21 Caranuba wax.
I gotta tell you, as a former Transam WS6 owner, Ford did a unbelievable job on this car. Everything just feels right. Theres simply no other way to put it. GM, Ill always love you, but Ford has out done you guys on this one. What an absolute blast to drive. Every time I start the car I smile.
Before and Misc Pics:
After:
Freshly washed
And the money shots after glaze/wax:
F*CKING LOVEEEEE MY NEWWW CARRRRR

Sweet man. Enjoy! I let the dealer wash my 12 GT and I black fire wet diamoned it a month later. A year later, she's still a beauty. I bfwd every 6 mo.. I just don't have the patience like you with the clay bar, multiple coats etc. I'd rather wash it 30 minutes and drive it all day than wash, clay, wax , sealer etc and drive it the following day. I'd go nuts and do a half azz job. Beautiful car, impressive work bro!

This was the OPs thread to post pics of his car. his thread mess he can add as many pics as he wants. Had this been just another thread of someone else's or possibly a "Show your SG Mustang" thread I would agree with you. Of course, you could have stopped looking after the 8th or 9th and NOT said anything else at all!!
