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
 
Welcome, a mustang in the Bronx, must be a heart attack every time you drive (I would be very afraid of scratches and potholes lol!)

We are right over the TZ bridge if you ever feel like taking a stop by and talking ;)

Nah I take the same route evry day, so I have the potholes memorized, lol.

I go up to bear mountain every Wednesday for the car show. My local mustang club sponsors it, and I get to give out a trophy. Maybe Ill stop by.

Thanks Gents!

We only sponsor the mustang category of a much larger weekly car cruise in. I'm sure the guys at poorboy's are familiar with the rockland rodders and the show. I'm actually surprised they don't go to the show, being in their backyard and full of car nuts weekly.
