Ok Jason...good point, skip rinse.
So, I will be using griots clay and speed shine for the claying process. So, your saying to apply speed shine throughout first and then clay using clay and speed shine again?
Ok, so, the days of having 6 hours in a row are over and I have a plan on how I am going to detail my car..
1.night before, 2 bucket wash and wheels
2.morning after left in semi clean garage(not totally dust proof :)
Continue with full rinse, blow dry and clay car.
3.leave car in garage...
I made an appointment for first oil change at friendly Ford in Poughkeepsie. We purchased my wife's fusion from there. I would think standard service activities such as oil changes should not be an issue at any ford dealer...i hope
Hello all...I briefly looked through this thread and am still contemplating ford dealer oil or some other brand (Castrol, Mobil 1, Pennzoil). I have my first 5k oil change scheduled for tomorrow. The car is used as a secondary daily driver ( driven on nice weekend days and occasionally 1-2...
Hello all,
Looking to get my first oil change and wanted to ask if anyone has any dealer recommendations in the area that work well with mustang ecoboosts. I also wanted to find a dealer that have the ability to add ford mods etc....???
Thanks guys...JasonStang. I agree with your statement but figured learn how to wax now will only help me learn how to polish later. Also, I think I read that the machine polisher will apply a even coat across and we know trying to do that by hand can get pretty tricky...
Ok, thanks all for your help. I picked up the Griots orbital 6 polisher along with griots clay, speed shine, griots corrective cream, griots poly wax and a red and orange pad....
Ok, so, with all the reviews I have watched and all the feedback I have been provided here on this forum, these are my options:
Harbor freight Da-$69.99 and a 20% of coupon.
CG Torq-$129.00
GRIOTS-$149.00
PC7424-$114.00
Anyone know of any good 4th of July Sales???
Thanks vernonator...at this time I don't think I have any corrections to take care of. Maybe some swirls and minor swirls, scratch marks in the paint. Does that signify corrections are needed?
Question, do you really need a polisher to get the best results?? I assume it depends on the car your working on, in my case, it's a 16 ecoboost...
Also, if so, what's the best option for a newbie and something you can possibly grow into without breaking the bank...;)
Ok, thanks for all the responses.
I attempted to foam cannon my car this weekend and everything looked to be going great. I had lots of foam and used the 2 bucket system. End result, dry residue all over the car, most likely caused by rushing. I am thinking I did not rinse her well...
Hello....looking for some advice from all the detailing pros on this forum. I am looking to do a full detail to my 2016 Magnetic Ecoboost and I recall hearing that certain waxes and polishes may be better that others depending on your color. Also, I am looking for something that will really...
Thanks Midlife, I have no desire at the moment to add any performance mods but I do have my eye on making some subtle changes to make her my own..
Thanks Stam- I am in Hopewell.
Hello all Hudson Valley Mustang owners. This is my first Mustang and I still don't think I believe it!!!! This car is just so much fun to drive and my kids fit in the back seats!!!!, for now
I just washed for the first time my new 2016 Mustang Ecoboost and she's clean but I now want to wax her. I did the 2 bucket method, foam cannon and was able to get the salt and dirt off. I then parked her in the garage...Now, 5 hours later I go downstairs and run my hand across the paint and...
It took me a bit of time but I finally was able to find a dealer that from the first phone call to picking up the vehicle today, I can truly say they are the friendliest, most helpful dealership I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.
I took a chance, and found a 2016 Mustang...
