I Have No Life
Technically, I did this Saturday....
Lauren Renee was a very dirty girl. She was waiting for me in the garage, yearning to be cleaned. I pulled out my pressure washer and filled my foam gun attachment reservoir with Zep Blue Max car wash shampoo. I pulled her out into the street, keeping her a short distance away from the curb. I gently sprayed her with cool water from the garden hose to initially loosen the road grime she accumulated over the last week of driving.
I then hooked up the pressure washer and foamed her body with a thick blanket of cleansing foam. I let the foam remain on her surfaces for a few minutes; while that was going on I filled two buckets. One bucket was a car wash solution of Blue Max and other the other was plain water to rinse the wash media with. I gently cleaned her tire and wheel assemblies, using a Daytona wheel brush in the barrels and a microfiber mitt to clean the tire and wheel surfaces. An older soft brush was used to clean the fender liners. After the wheels were cleaned, I emptied both buckets and made a fresh batch of solution.
With a pair of clean microfiber wash mitts, I applied the wash solution, following the airflow over the curves of her body. I rinsed the car down, then refoamed her and rinsed.
I dried her gently using microfiber waffle wave drying towels, blotting her surfaces gently.
I then drove her around the block to get any water out of her nooks and crannies, blotted any water left on the surface then put her in the paddock for the evening.

Made an appointment for it for Wednesday to have the resonators deleted.
New shop I haven't done business with before, highly recommended by a Mustang buddy, they had 2 Mustangs and an F150 in the shop, other Fords and other Mustangs in the lot.
Can't wait to see how the new set-up sounds.
I'm wondering if the tune will need to be tweaked at all.
Don't think so, but still wondering ...

Looked at it in the garage today.
I was going to detail it, but detailed the daily driver instead. I'll do the 'stang sometime this week.

The other day I saw an opportunity to take some cool pictures with my phone. I know the wheels were dirty :/ but they're clean now.
The last one's from a week ago that I edited.

Got an alignment and got the resonators deleted. Wow does it sound good now ... holy crap, I can't stay out of the throttle, lol
Oh, and without camber plates, sitting on Steeda Sport springs, the toe is back into speck, the caster was already in spec, and the camber sits at only 0.1 out of spec, so good enough for me.
I'm psyched!
