Default Waxed and got some better tint



The wax was very easy to use, and seems like it did a good job, car feels smooth. Used about 20% of a bottle on the car. Alot easier than fully waxing or polishing.

Ill probably only fully clay bar and polish the car once a year and just use this in between.

cost 20$ shipped so its kind of steep. ill let you all know if it lasts a long time.

Also, loving the 5% tint, I had a strip on the front window but i removed that. Hard to see at night but you kind of get used to it and you can see headlights pretty easily usually. I had 5% on my old mustang too and had no issues with it.

new wheels are on order(textured bronze forgestar f14's 19x9 20x10.5)

Nice ride, we can only run 35% in NC. We can however have our optometrist write a prescription for a lower tint.

Nice! I myself went with 15%. I just can't see through 5% at night so I always have to ride with the windows down.

Soldier, I'm down in FL and I haven't had one cop give me lip about tinting yet. I feel that those who typically get ticketed for illegal tinting are those that are driving recklessly to begin with and the cop really wants to make that routine stop hurt...

I got pulled over atleast 5 times here in florida with my old mustang tinted 5% all around and a maxima tinted 5% all around. I just rolled down the windows completely and they didnt ever say anything about it. The interiors were lighter though than this car, one had gray leather, one had tan cloth instead of black leather. With black leather you cant see anything in the car it seems. I hope the cops dont give a damn, theres alot of people here in florida with this tint. If they do, ill probably try to get a prescription for window tint lol.

5% on the back 15% on the front 2 windows would probably be more practical and easier to see out at night but, i still like 5% all around.

here it is with the old tint, which i think was 15% on the back 25% on the front

Man, I can't wait to get back to the "land of the free." Here in Germany we are not allowed to tint the sides at all (unless it comes that way from the factory). It really sucks.

That SG looks fantastic with the dark tint. Very nice!

I'd take the autobahn over some tint. Enjoy the speed while you can.
