What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[SoZen]

What did I do today?
Carpro DLUX - hoping to get easier washings for a year or so.

What didn't I do?
- 3M Scotchgard Pro PPF
- Carpro UK 3.0 ceramic coating

Why didn't I do PPF?
- care and feeding of the PPF seems more costly than care and feeding of the OEM paint and clearcoat. Never in all the cool cars I've owned, have I owned a garage queen. I'm driving it while I own and and enjoying it, the next owner will have a used car one way or another.

Why didn't I do ceramic coating?
- reading the required maintenance on the ceramic coating reads exactly like the required maintenance of an OEM paintjob - only the products cost 3-5x more $$$ (Sonax Fallout Remover, Reload, etc etc). I'll save my money and stick with weekly 2-bucket washing, clay bar (towel), meguire's ceramic hybrid.

Hope that DLUX works and wasn't a waste of $$$ (Iron-X, Eraser, DLUX = $70 - way more than just using meguire's hybrid ceramic or armor all wheel protectant)

I like the Steeda ones a lot. They’re stout.

What is the brand of that lift in the above pics? Me likey!

 

[Mustang_Lou]

That lift does look nice but I'm not sure I could ever get under one of those. There's gotta be a backup system in case of hydraulic failure I assume?

Don't remember the brand, but took a pass because of the obstacles in the middle. I could live with either the sides or floor being obstructed but not both.

Got my grille install done and put the bumper back on.

I have the ranger quick jacks. Gives you room down the middle.

Going to do some interior dress up this evening.

 

[Mustang_Lou]

@Shocker - is that as high as they go? I'd play it safe and put something under the wheels or some jack stands elsewhere but I like those.

Is that grill badge borrowed from Audi? I have some ready to go on under the 5.0 badges
