Well Lou, don't get bummed out, we're in the same boat, it's just that FromZto5 has mad detailing and photo taking skills that simply above reproach, without question.

I suspect that he conducts himself in similar fashion in the rest of his daily activities.------Bill

 

haha... I hear ya man... I know, I need to drive her more often. I think once the baby is out of the infant seat, I will. It's just a pain to get him in and out with ease. So for now, Tori gets the nod with the 2 kids. I rarely get to drive Marilyn due to picking up duties after work.

hey JC... oh there's dust on there, but cameras don't usually pic that up unless you're showing a close up in depth shot. But yes, it starts out really clean in the garage, and I try not to get it TOO dusty for a photoshoot... like not driving in on a dirt road, etc...

But luckily I haven't had to dust it off often before a shoot. Maybe a very light (be careful of swirling) weight-free (just drag the MF using its own weight) dusting I sometimes do.

Thanks Lou. Remember, YOU started all this, about a year ago, when I first CONSIDERED buying a pony, and deciding what color. It was YOUR car, amongst a couple others, that really swayed me to get one, esp in Kona Blue. So thank you again.

That is my curse forever Bill... am an engineer, and am severely OCD Although, I am proud of it. hehe.

 

Well don't feel bad my friend, I think it's awesome being/having OCD.

You've got nothing to apologize for, FromZto5.hahahahaha------Bill

BTW, have you seen my pics of my engine bay? I installed a Steeda CAI, added some billet pieces and painted my engine and coil covers.

 

Bill...I will try and remember that...I was the same way 25 years ago...as I approach the mid-century mark, it gets harder to get super detailed.

 

No sir... where are the pics?

 

I hear you Lou. I suspect that you are still the same way, but with everything else going on in life, it's really-really hard to do.

I'm not going to bore you with examples of that Lou, because I think you know where I'm coming from ?

Worst case scenario, we could always pay someone to do the detailing for us, but doesn't that just kind of ruin the fun of owning a Mustang and being one with our cars ? For me it most definitely would.

I guess it just comes down to what we deem to be most important life and that inevitably changes the older we get.

That's just the way it is.......All My Best To You Lou.-----Bill

 

Here you go...let me know what you think...Lou

Man Bill...there's no way I can see hiring someone else to clean and detail my car...I'm too **** on certain things regarding my car. And you're right, I enjoy the feeling I get when washing and detailing MY MUSTANG.

Take care...Lou

While I would never pay for someone to clean my car as I enjoy doing it, I'd be willing to pay FromZto5 at some point to remove the few swirls/fine scratches I have in my paint!!!!!

 

I am after in Iowa

hehe.

Yeah I do the cars of a few customers I know... since I don't do it as often I did in the past anymore (due to wife and kids), I do miss it. Wish I could do this rather than sit behind a desk

 

I enjoy doing it,but also do not have as much time as I used to...besides my full time job, since my wife is disabled, I do most of the house cleaning, laundry, all outside yard work, shopping, etc, etc, etc....that is one reason I have a daily driver...i have never really had to do a full wash on the stang...mainly a "sponge bath" so to speak as it has never gotten rained on etc...just gotten dusty. So I use detailing spray and or Optimum No Rinse cleaner on it. As long I as don't park next to your car mine looks like new!! Should break 3,000 miles this weekend once the rain moves out...

Ok... I guess I lied about my last set as the final set of pics for the year. I have since bought my new S Types, so I WILL drive her yet again this year and enjoy that sound before I tuck her away for the season.

Anyways, here's some new pics I took today...late fall. She was washed last week, but I never drove her. LOL. Marilyn is coated in 2 layers of souveran.

Enjoy.






























Here's the HDR versions of some of the above.

 

My latest pics I took today, just so happens to show those sexy tips. Love me some Borla. I am SO glad I got these puppies. For you avid detailers out there, Marilyn has 3 coats of souveran, after washing and drying with FK425. Prior sealant on there is 4star UPP. I also took a better video showcasing the borla exhaust.

Pics are regular, non HDR. I didn't bother using my promaster circular polarizing filter.

 

Playing with my new 50mm 1.8. I have yet to open my new Lightroom...



then with new LED fogs








and the rest of the 50mm shots... love this new lens.

 

These are absolutely stunning pics of an amazing Mustang! Your detailing work is fantastic and those images are magazine worthy.

 

Thank you very much sir... I wish I could do detailing and photography online, but I remembered I have a wife and two kids. Lol

 

Hey, did I see some swirls in that paint?.......Just kidding!!! Awesome pics and car.....
