Hey all, I finally got around to detailing the exterior of my stang! Only removed swirls this time around, as its a daily driver and really didn't feel like pulling out the rotary. But I did get the exterior to exceptional condition for me so here we go :)

Products used:
ONR wash
Optimum power clean on the tires, wheels and wheel wells
Megs clay, using ONR as lube
PCXP 7424
LC 5.5" yellow flat pads
Megs M105, and Ultimate compound
Optimum opti-seal
Optimum opti-bond on tires
PB Trim restorer on all trim
DP wheel wax
DP glass cleaner

Sorry guys, not really any before photos. And no really great sun shots(sun was down too far for me to get good shots in the paint).

Thanks D. I love the color period. I'm working on having it tinted tomorrow and looking for a set of cams soon! I'm hoping to put a blower on it someday.

Spending some quality time with your Mustang really shows! Metallic red is one of my favorite colors and your car looks fabulous! You've got some great product that will help you keep your car looking like new for years to come... :props:

Thanks lowdown. Mine is a 2000. No real tunes yet, just the cookie cutter from superchips. I think we bought that when we bought the truck back in '04 ish? I was looking at either DP or PHP. I've heard alot of people are happy with PHP and seem like very nice people to deal with. I'll see if i can dig up a pic........
Ahhhh......back after christmas a year or two ago. Long story about all the christmas trees piled up :)
