A good wash, a quick rub down with a Nanoskin prep sponge, and a coat of Blackfire Total Polish & Seal, Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Protection, and 2 coats of Blackfire Crystal Seal sealant. It turned out well considering it's still by hand. I can't wait to get a polisher!

Lovely! I need to start stocking up on good detail stuff and a DA/PC. I'm about to go to town on autogeek and/or Adam's Polishes

Well, no polishing on the GR, but it's a pain to try and get it streak free. Especially at stock ride height. I am 5'10" and have to stand on my tiptoes to reach the center. That's just ridiculous lol. Dammn 4x4 stock ride height!

I think the SN95 is a little shorter stock, but still. I don't remember because I had my 6er lowered for years and my 03 was on coilovers so I could reach everything easy peasy lol

There's an idea for a new Mustang accessory: a pony-logo embossed rubber and Boss 302 suede mat to put on top of the door sill that we can stand on to more easily reach the center of the roof. I want one and I'm 6'4"

On a sunny day, try and take a pictures from inside the cabin, up. Would like to see it from the inside!

I had mine on my order build and removed that upgrade last minute, I don't think I've regretted it haha. Natural lighting is what it's about for me! Love it.

Just put my Nurburgring raised decal on the rear of my car. I'm glad I checked that off the bucket list. I plan to check it off a couple more times before I leave Germany. I want to make it to Hockenheim next.

That's what I said. But last week I decided to go to a cruise about 15 miles away after checking the weather. No rain was predicted, so I detailed my car and headed out, top down, in beautiful warm sunshine. When I got there the sky turned dark, light drizzle fell, and the cruise was cut short.

I put my top up (which I never do when it's driven) and got caught in an armageddon rain storm...flash flooding, severe lightning...wipers could barely keep up.

First time I used my wipers and w/s defroster. Needless to say, my Mustang became un-detailed very quickly.

Never say never.

Oh… Mine will still be never. Never ever ever. You have no idea how religious i watch the weather before I take my car out for a drive. It doesn't come out when the weather has greater than a 10% chance.

As for your car, sounds like it got devalued a lot… I would consider selling ASAP.
