Default Picked up my New 5.0.. Completely detailed and waxed

I told the dealership NOT to touch the car when it arrived because they don't give a **** and will scrub the rail dust right into the paint/clearcoat. Most people don't realize clay barring a brand new car is vital to having seamless paint. I decided to take matters into my own hands. I picked the car up on Wednesday and immediately did clay bar, wash, glaze, wax.

After allowing the NXT wax to cure for about 48 hours, I followed up with a thin coat of P-21 Caranuba wax.

I gotta tell you, as a former Transam WS6 owner, Ford did a unbelievable job on this car. Everything just feels right. Theres simply no other way to put it. GM, Ill always love you, but Ford has out done you guys on this one. What an absolute blast to drive. Every time I start the car I smile.


Before and Misc Pics:












After:

Freshly washed





And the money shots after glaze/wax:

















F*CKING LOVEEEEE MY NEWWW CARRRRR

Like you I took a clay bar to mine the first time I washed it. I was surprised how much junk I got off it.
