Hi guys/gals, names Anthony. I own a 2012 Black on Black Mustang GT that is my daily driver, and I signed up to learn how to take care of it better.
I drive my car every day, rain, snow, or shine. I`ve owned it since last june and I just turned 8k miles. My commute is short, but I have no garage, so its outside 100% of the time. Not the most optimal conditions, but I fell in love with the car and get out of it with a big smile every time I drive it.
During the summer, I regularly attend local car shows to hang out with friends, so I clean the car bi weekly and I`m careful to try and wash and dry properly. But I guess there is just no way around swirls on a daily driver, so now I`m trying to learn how to take care of my paint.
I`m starting out with a full blackfire swirl removal kit, a blackfire clay kit, blackfire wash kit, and a porter cable XP Da. I used the kit according to the instructions, and the car looked great when I was done in the afternoon sunlight. But I noticed that at night, under artificial light, there are still very few fine lines that are still showing. So I`m a little dissappointed, but I knew going in that there is a steep learning curve and I wasn`t going to get it perfect until I get more experience under my belt.
So off to read the blackfire forum and learn how to use it better.
Thanks,
-Anthony
