Had been missing the Mustang ever since I sold my `01 GT `vert (about 2 years ago) when I bought my Cobra. So... started the search for a new `stang earlier this year. Finally found one I liked... `05 GT `vert, 22,000 miles, 5-speed manual, Torch red, black leather (& top), Shaker1000 audio. Only mods are the 20" rims, the Saleen "style bar", and the color-matched mirrors.

... after a pass with the clay bar & a coat of NXT...

Looks clean, how does it look under halogens or the sun?

Looks clean but you should drop it a little.

some pretty serious correction is in order... lots of scratches in the clear. Tried Speed Glaze, then Dual Action Cleaner Polish, then Ultimate Compound... which worked, but still took 3-5 passes on the DA polisher. Is time to break out the rotary. As soon as I get a new wool pad, will try the Meguiars 105/205 combo.



at least it photographs well in the shade... tho because of the color, it`s pretty blinding in direct sun- which hides a lot.

yea, a 1-1/2" drop would probably be about perfect... if only I could get the ambition (and money) to do it. With 2 other cars besides this, it`s just not a real big priority right now. Maybe someday.
