That's just a wash and towel dry.

I use Meguiars. Cleaner wax followed up with NXT generation liquid wax twice a year. I do an application around March/April when I get warm day and 'll do another application around October.

That shine has about 4 washes on it.

When you say "NXT liquid wax" does that mean the spray stuff? Does it last awhile?

very nice dude..us 2 are alike i think..both own the best 4.6 made and both love to keep it in pristine condition.
how many miles has yours gone?
mine has only gone 12k miles...i never ever drive mine unless the sky is blue..hope to keep mine forever seeing as they only made our cars for 1 year makes em kinda rare..
i love mine like hell..and whatever others say the 2010 is way faster then the 05 to 09...i noticed it as soon as i got in mine..mines a keeper untill i die i'm sure

It's a liquid wax in a bottle. I think it also comes in paste wax.

It lasts about 6 months and through several washings so I think it does, but I keep the Stang' mostly garaged and never take it out in the rain so it's not really tested much.

I'm happy with it.

Thank you

Yes, IMO the 10' is the pinnacle of the 4.6 models. The Bullet parts, the black pony and it was only made the one year make it pretty special. I haven't done any mods on her because frankly, I love her just as she is. She has 3.73 gearing, comfort package, the 19" wheels and saddle leather. Like you I intend on keeping her for a long long time. I never ever drive it on gravel or when it's wet out.

She is indeed pristine and she goes as fast as I'll ever want to go . I have 17K on her.

I see you have the red leather - beautiful with the black! Does it have red striping on the hood?
