First cleaning of 2013 !!!

Finally cleaned the Mustang after about 3-4 months of just doing the occasional touchless car wash and nothing else.

This time I did a touchless wash then went home, cleaned the wheels with some detail-spray and a microfiber towel, then went over the whole car with the new "Go Green Waterless Wash" I recently got from chemicalguys.com

Didn't do the tires, but I always seem to forget to do them, so whatever ... lol

Then I took a few pictures

OK, maybe more than a few .... lol

Also, these might be that last pictures before the car get lowered.
Steeda Sport springs are ordered, the Koni Sport adjustable struts/shocks are already here, and a couple other things are here or on the way

Car looks great. I am going to be switching to waterless wash in the future. How did you like the process? Have you used it before maybe a different brand? If so, how does it compare to the other?

Thanks Steve.
I've tried PoorBoys' stuff before and I like this better cuz as you spray then wipe it leaves a wax film behind, then you flip the microfiber towel over (or use a different one like I did) and buff that wax out so it shines

I like it quite a bit.
I bought an extra gallon along with the 16 OZ bottle that I'm using now ...

Still in love with SG, but they look so much better when lowered. Nice ride.

Great looking car. The Brembo Wheels and Sterling Grey go very well together

First time I used it, but I like it and will probably be using it for some time to come

Painted the third brake light a light coat of gray to have it blend in into the trunk lid.

And Plasti-Dipped the decklid panel in-between the tail lights.

But nothing was done to the tail lights themselves ...

Looks sweet. the plasti dip makes the lights pop. You never thought of smoking halo parts of the tail lights?

Thanks. I did the Plasti-Dip on the decklid cuz the glossy black surface was a pain to keep clean and I didn't like all the chrome on the faux gas cap in the middle.
I also like that the dip can be removed at any time

And while I've thought of doing *something* to the tails, I don't think I'm gonna do anything to them ... they're a huge design point on the '13-'14 models and I don't plan on changing that ...
