Try a "California Water Blade". They work great at squeeging off the water then follow up with an "Absorber" cloth. If you get water spots try using Meguire's #6 cleaner wax.

Black is awful purdy!

Hi Deric, here's the arsenal I use to make my CS shine, and some sample results. I use a black magic drying towel right after the wash (in the hard plastic box top right of the pic). Bought it at Wal-Mart for like $7. Great stuff. Throw your chamois away or you may scratch her clearcoat. Honestly, it's not rocket science to make the black dress shine. Just wipe hard and if it doesn't come, WIPE HARDER. Kind of brute force finesse but it works... as far as I'm concerned she seems to be loving it

When you put your pics on your computer, you have to make them smaller, below 500kb I believe. Just open each picture, and go to edit, and then just shrink them. If you have a 5 MP camera, its good to shrink them to 35% of the original size. This way it should be good to post. Sometimes, when I post pics, I have to shrink them several times to get the file size below 500 kb. Hope this helps, as I REALLY want to see pics of where you put that keypad.

Here is another attempt to post a few pics? The weather has been really crappy. I will take more pics if the sun comes out.

Well it worked, what a pain in the butt. The keyless pad cannot be seen unless your looking for it and only if your at the drivers door. It's a nice feature, Ford should make it another option. The car is great, I cant wait for some nice weather.

Hiya L J,

Your keyless entry pad, is it the Ford Accessories product? I ask because it looks a hell of a lot smaller than the one my dealership showed me.
Do you know your part number by any chance?

Thanks,
Emu
