What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[EmCel]

Project time!

How do I clean it without buying sprays or whatever. Damp cloth? Like just wipe it down. All the dust and such.

I harken back to the good ol' days when we'd trade it in because the ashtray was full...

Added PP1 brakes,PP1 front spoiler, PP1 front fender liners and PP1 belly pan to my base GT

Looking at @Dai Uy Ted post, I went outside and looked at under my hood and it's so freaking dirty compared to his and probably anyone else's yuck

That needs a good cleaning for sure. I spray with Krud Kutter Deck and Fence cleaner and then pressure wash it when needed. No high pressure into electronics though.
Pic is my F250 Diesel with 96,000 on it.

No! Stay American. Get a Charger instead!

Can we point out the real issue here

Can we point out the real issue here

It's certainly North American

But that's not the point here. What makes the Charger American isn't where the metal gets assembled, it's about the character of the car.

*patriotic music quietly begins playing*

It's the big lumbering frame, wrapped around a good old pushrod motor. The fact that the car is loud, brazen, and frivolous. Everything about it is a love letter to burning fuel and burning rubber. What's more American then that?

*music intensifies*

This is a car that throws back to the days of cruising the boulevard, light to light drag races, and car meets at the local burger joint. A car that represents the symbolic freedom of the American Highway.

*music swells to a crescendo*

The Charger is both the pinnacle of, and swan song for, the American Muscle Car, along with everything that represents. It is the last of a dying breed. There is nothing else like it on the market today, and we're not likely to see its kind ever again.

*song fades out on a wistful note*

So, have your fun poking at the Canadian assembly and Mexican motor all you like. The heart beats red, white, and blue. This car is a living embodiment of Americana, much like the Mustang. Owning either one is a chance to own a living piece of history.

Load of crap. Today's cars are nothing like what they were, (in various ways - good and bad). They are simply world frames with parts from around the globe, with a mass produced drivetrain and a name slapped on the help sales. There is no connection otherwise. None.

Hell yeah brother!
I want a Hellcat Charger as my daily driver badly. But, living in the Northeast says otherwise unfortunately.

Yes, I cant speak for Mik, but I was being sarcastic. I was poking fun at the fact there are people, some on this forum, who claim they will only buy "American" cars but have no definition of what that means, aside from their own proclamation. Hence my avatar.

Happy man I am. It will be a busy weekend. FedEx brought me more Steeda parts to complete my Steeda Stage 2 Handling package

I'd use compressed air to blow all the major stuff off, then just clean/wipe as much as possible off with a damp microfiber towel - rinsing the microfiber off often to remove collected dirt. If you're going to use water, get some appropriate engine bay spray-on cleaner, spray it on (cold engine) and then just use a garden hose to rinse everything off - no power washer.
