Add a little narration and it will be a nice Shelby GT350 commercial!

I stripped all the wax off the car with Wolfgang Paint Prep. Then waxed it with Anglepolish Wax that I just purchased. (Not cheap) I got the highest gloss reading that I’ve ever had. The previous gloss readings were around 90 to 92. I’ve just got readings 99 to 101. Little things that make me stupid happy!

Got the new DJI Mini (my first drone)
Small world... I just piloted a new drone (DJI Mavic Mini) this week-end and I was impressed with it's capabilities.
I would like to get a video at speed with the drone flying around the Shelby while driving... kind of like that 20 ish year old Lexus commercial where they go around the vehicle while it is moving.

That will take some practice!!!!

You may need the inspire for that shot. One person to fly and one to operate the camera. The inspire also has a low hang center camera that can do a 360.

Full detail. Wash. Clay. Wash. Orbital buffer with a combo of Magiurs and Chemical Guys polishes and then nanocoat using “The Last Coat”. It was a long day :)

Car had 1400 miles on it when I bought her and the previous owner took it through automatic car washes (or the dealer did). With the right lighting there were lots of micro scratches and swirl marks. I got rid of 95% of the imperfections and will get rid of the rest later.

Now I removed the front license plate bracket and have the holes filled and am waiting to dry for the second pass. Then will let it dry overnight and apply the new racing stripes.

Washed her for the last time before winter storage... Just check out how nice Carpro Gliss repels water (2 layers of Cquartz followed by 2 layers of Gliss)
Looks great! Now get rid of that ugly Herb Chanbers logo, and number plates too... Great color choice by the way :)

Dear god who on earth would allow them to drill into the front bumper WITH stripes. I told my dealer if they put a front license plate bracket on mine, the deal is off.

the detail shop that mines going to for ppf and ceramic told me about a guy who brought his 350 in for ppf/ceramic and his dealer put the bracket on through the stripes and he had a heart attack......

Got the new DJI Mini (my first drone) and needed something to film so I did a few quick shots of my kid.

Unfortunately, I had to cut it short because some planes needed to taxi and the drone shut down. Can't wait to take it on vacation.
where did u get the blue badge and blue shelby stickers

The dealer claimed the previous owner drilled it, but it actually worked in my favor as the dealer came down even further on the price. Luckily Ford sells the racing stripes in separate pieces, so with some bondo and new stripes it cost me $85 all in. I negotiated another $1K off an already really low price due to the license plate.
