My 76 year old mother (don’t tell her I told her age!) drives a 2000 Mustang V-6, 5 speed, convertible. She bought it new in 2000 and has only put 37,000 miles on it.
To say she does not take care of it would be an understatement. Before moving to Dallas she lived in a small west Texas town where the car had no cover and was subjected to blowing sand and glaring hot days. Now the car gets parked under a carport but no garage so it still gets a lot of blowing dirt on it.
The paint is in terrible condition. There are lots of chips and scratches. I did have some terrifying before pictures that were lost on my work laptop. Since those pictures I had cleaned it up but only applied a coat of wax.
My goal was to clean and provide protection.
Exterior Wash:
Meg’s GC and foam gun
Simply Green diluted for stains on vinyl top
Clay
Polish & Protect:
Poorboy’s SSR 2.5, followed by SSR 1
Was able to reduce spider webbing but not remove. Will need to try SSR 3 someday
Wolfgang Pre Wax Polish Enhancer
DP Premium Surface Shield Paint Sealant (1 coat)
DP Max Wax (1 layer)
Wheel:
Simply Green (diluted) on the wheel wells
DP Gel Wheel Cleaner
Followed by a coat of AIO
DP Gloss Tire Gel
Glass:
DP High Performance Glass Restorer
DP Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner
AIO
The DP sealant is awesome! It made the paint very shiny and bright. The DP Max Wax toned it down a little. If I had more time I would like to have added a second layer of the sealant.

After:
I wish white could show more reflection slike dark colors.
). Even with two passes of SSR2.5 I was not able to remove them all. I greatly reduced them though. And that's how I learned my lesson to be careful.
That's so cool she drives a stick! Car looks great!
