I was seriously thinking this DLux was great after the first 2 weeks - rinse the wheels and they looked good. Closer inspection revealed that there's still a coating of dust on the rims, still need to use a brush every wash. I wouldn't do it again, just stick with the ceramic hybrid coating...

Referencing How I Shift My Bullitt that I wrote up on another thread, here on my psuedo-blog. Still lovin this car. I now have 4400 miles since April - that's a ton of miles for me, just love driving this car. Still have weird bluetooth /android auto issues where the audio from phone calls...

:sunglasses: I took a lot of time to get to know my Bullitt's transmission. This is like my 20th sports car with manual transmission - 3rd mustang. Whatever, it was still a couple of years since my last manual, track-car, a BRZ. So despite many high-performance cars, it took a while to...

That sounds like a very good trip!

I just installed these for hood struts and was wondering the same, not sure it's an issue but was thinking to use a zip tie to keep it away from the strut as best as possible? Anyone solved this elegantly?

DLux on the wheels After one washing, about a week, they rinsed pretty clean without any hand washing. I still feel as though I will put additional meguires/turtle wax ice hybrid ceramic on top, it's so easy. But will try it on one side only (passenger) to see if there's much difference and...

Ok, so now I have dealt with the chip on my hood. First of many, I'm sure. Dr Colorchip was really easy to use. I did two coats and from a couple feet away, it's hard to see the blemish any more. On my phone's camera, it's almost invisible, I had to rest something on the hood next to the...

How long does the protection last? I tried chemical guys wac308 a few years ago and wrote a blisteringly bad review of it on Amazon. Time consuming to apply/remove, no real benefit in the fight against brake dust. Jury's out on dlux.

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...

Hey Massman, I've not seen another Bullitt either, of that I'm glad, I like the exclusivity of the Bullitt. But, I have been waving at any fellow Stang drivers on the road and lately, there are alot of stangs out, particularly verts. I love looking at it too. I washed it, by hand, again...

HI Brett, sounds like you have an exciting trip coming up, with some good roads to really enjoy more shrinking mortal cars in your rear view. Have you times your 0-30, and 0-60 using the timer? I am going to start trying that out next. I've really only launched it once hard and a couple...

I love this magnet idea. Keeps my phone out of sight and secure.

Just passed 3,000 miles! I'm going out of my way to drive and loving every minute of it. Many, many, many other drivers step up to race me all the time, at stop lights, on the highway, and even mom's in minivans, lol. Latest were a Toyota Tundra driving crazy on the highway, tailgating me...

Thanks for the reminder - I deleted the bluetooth connection to the car on my phone. It worked for a while when connected to Android Auto via USB, but after a while, now this is where it gets weird, the phone and the car re-established a bluetooth connection on their own (ghost in the...

Thanks for that link Joe - I didn't go for that item because I want to keep my phone connected to Android Auto and have the wires out of the way. Here's what I ended up doing: 1) I removed all the rubber from one of these WizGear vent mount magnets 2) Used the included round metal mount and...

Totally agree with that statement. 1500 mile update: now that I'm well past the break-in period, I've opened it up for a couple of WOT acceleration runs and even tried LC. 7000+ WOT shifts are fine for me, they feel great and the car sounds amazing. The power feels smooth all the way to...

There's a section just above the Engine Break In section, it says: Brakes and Clutch Avoid heavy use of the brakes and clutch if possible for the first 100 mi (150 km) in town and for the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km) on freeways I'm just babying it, including the brakes - tomorrow I will cross...

Thanks Tony, I am truly loving it!

I know exactly what you mean - here's what I learned about making a very smooth, relaxed shift: on the 1-2 shift, on a backroad, rev it up in 1st, push in the clutch and watch the tach. The tach will drop to a certain rpm and hang there for a second or so (perfect shift rpm), then drop again...

Let's see if i can explain this - gently pry the subwoofer surround off of the subwoofer using a panel removal tool (or a screwdriver) - put some cloth behind the tool between the plastic and the tool to prevent marring of the plastic that you're using for leverage. This part was...
