My dealer wants me to give them my Shadow Black GT convertible for half a day so they can detail the outside of the car. He talked about clay barring the car to remove the dirt, grime, etc, etc. I know all about clay barring but my question is why would anyone need to clay bar a vehicle that is only 3 weeks out from being assembled? I'm not sure I'm going to let anyone else touch my GT and I've never had a dealer even suggest doing anything for me after I purchased the car and drove home.

Does anyone feel that this is necessary for a brand new Mustang?

clay bar will remove rail dust, and anything that got on the paint during shipping/transport that doesnt just wash off. do it man. the paint will never be smoother then after a clay bar and a fresh coat of wax.

depends. how much are they charging you for this service?

All new cars could use a clay bar to it. I've done it with all my new car purchases within a week of owning them.

Thanks all, there is no cost and based on your input I'm going to do it.

Absolutely! Perfect time to get it done! Especially if someone else is doing it for you!

If you trust the dealer, then go ahead. It seems odd they wouldn't do it before giving you the car. What changed that they are asking you to bring it back?

Go for it....

I couldn't stand waiting for it any longer. One of the pitfalls of doing a special order. As for trusting the dealer, I'm still evaluating them as I've never had the pleasure of working with a dealer who was really there to help me. There could be a first time.

you don't need to clay bar a brand new car.
