GT350 Detailing Discussion

[mcgraw]

I went nuts and bought a ton of Pinnacle products to help me clean this thing. It's not the cheapest, but I'm *very* happy with Pinnacle.

For tires they make an Advanced Wheel Cleaner & Black Onyx Tire Dressing. Both worked extremely well on the 350. Had a buddy use it on his Nova and he was digging it.

I'd encourage you to watch this video, which will cover the basics: [ame]

For tires, I would recommend Adam's Super VRT. It's not a traditional "Tire shine" - it's more a "dressing" for vinyl, rubber and tires. It won't leave your tires super mega shiny, but they will be super black and uniform looking and there will be absolutely no slinging, which is a problem with many more traditional tire shines.

Here are the wheels on my Bullitt after using it, although I've since lowered the car an inch and changed my rubber over to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. It looks like a 4 x 4 in this picture, haha.

Thanks for the pics. You're making me miss my Bullitt.

I have a neighbor that swears by that Ammo guy's techniques and products.

Absolutely love mine. I'll never sell it. It just turned 8 yesterday!

Beautiful Bullitt! A good friend of mine has one also. I'm going to try to get some pics with my GT350.

I would've liked to have kept mine but needed to sell it to get the 350. If I'd known then what I know now, not so much about the GT350 performance (the two aren't in the same league), but about Ford dealers and and the condition in which Ford is delivering these cars, I probably would've kept the Bullitt.

After taking delivery, I had a detailer wash, clay, lightly polish, and apply Cquartz. Its guaranteed for two years. Since the stripes are glossy he said it was fine to apply the Cquartz over the vinyl. Everything looks great, and water repels like it's scared of the paint! The Cquartz was cured overnight under infrared light (or was it ultra violet?) and the whole process cost $400.

After some research I'm going to order Backfire Crystal coat and give that a try. CQuartz is also available at autogeek so might throw that in as well. Now I just need to find some good low sheen tire dressing that doesn't fly all over.
