What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Interceptor]

I replaced my battery earlier in the month of July. Had not driven for a while, so I took it for a Sunday drive and came across a thunderstorm.

Couldn't understand why my wipers were being erratic. Then I realized my automatic wipers were activated.

I knew I had them, just never figured out how to turn them on.
Replacing the battery did it for me I guess

Why did you replace your battery? Which one did you get?

Swapped the front plate for BumperPlugs. Not as good as not having holes drilled in the first place but better than the plate

I feel bad for Mustang owners living in states requiring front plates. I totally get it why they require it, but I'm glad Ohio very recently (I believe last year) changed this, so I never had to put it on my Bullitt.

I hope dealers don't just willy nilly drill these even in states requiring 2 plates?

Wash and wax

Foam cannon is the only way to wash and with TWO buckets. You sir are my hero.

I've had holes drilled in the bumper of every car I've owned but I've only purchased one car new. I was too young, dumb, and excited about it at the time to ask them not to do it. I've read mixed results on here about people asking the dealer not to drill them. The Mustang already had them when I got it

Depends on the dealer. Luckily my sales guy (also a mustang enthusiast) made sure no holes were drilled. Front plates are super dumb and I choose to omit them from my car always.

2 plate state here. I requested my dealer did not drill for a plate. He told me he'd "try". Now that my car has shipped I sent an email cc'd the sales manager who said he arranged it with the person who sets the car up to not have it installed. I will be very angry if there are holes in my bumper. It can't be that hard to not do it

I would follow up again when the car gets closer! I told my dealer to write in on the folder with a big fat red marker!

I'm in IL, my dealer asked if I wanted a plate bracket on the car. I told him leave it in the trunk. He told me most Mustang buyers don't want the required front plate on the car. Mine has only had the rear since day one. IL was trying to change to a 1 plate state.

Took the day off for my wife’s birthday today. I got up early to wash and liquid glass the car because her chariot needed to be perfect. Took her for some sushi for lunch.

Any guesses as to “What’s The Next Thing I’m Gonna Do To My S550?

repent of using microfiber towels? WD40 doesn't sell a re-fill bottle? with that 2nd cap, it would seem to make that a trivial undertaking...

Comes in 5 gallon pail too. And 55 gallon if you just want to bathe in it.

I don’t want to bathe in it, I just want to clean the mess up! (4) quarts for $24.00. I hope it’s enough!

Getting loads of suds there. I use the second bucket to throw used wash mitts in; never reusing each mitt during a wash. It means I have to use lots of mits in the suds bucket, but it keeps the suds perfectly clean.
