looks great! I didn't get to clay mine today, but managed to put a coat of some nice wax and finish with some turtle wax ice. It is probably going to snow here one more time.... So I don't want to clay until the city puts the salt trucks away.

RE: Waxed/Washed my pony today, pics included.
Thanks everybody, I usually try and get at least 2 waxings in per quarter, I enjoy doing it so it is kind of an unwind time for me. Just focusing on gettin' her clean.
Everybody elses looks great as well!
I may take off the stripe, you don't think gray would look a bit too drab without the stripe? Also, with the color of the car, what spark plug wire color would go well with that, besides black? I don't know if anybody sells white plug wires, but I'd pick some up if someone sells 'em.
And yup, Mothers Clay Bar works wonders for the finish! I don't use it too often though, as It seems like it could possibly affect the clearcoat.

Yeah take it off definitely. Black and alloy 'Stangs look so much more complete and mature without those stripes.

Tell you what I'll do Vic, I'll take a couple of the pics of the Stang, and delete the stripe in Photoshop. If I like how it looks, I'll probably delete it. If I decide to, could I just heat it with a hair dryer, and peel it, then clean the adhesive off? How stuck are those on the paint?

Gorgeous cars Rhino and OIIIIO! They make me itch to go out and claybar mine, but we've got a huge stormfront coming in tonight and tomorrow that will be bringing winter back so it would be a wasted effort. Maybe by next weekend I'll be able to! I really can't wait to spend a day in the driveway going over every single inch of my car. I've found a couple rockchips from this winter that need some touchup paint too.

Nice, I can't wait until I can wax my car and clean my engine without worrying about it getting covered back up with salt. I'll save that job for spring break, and i can't wait. Detailing is fun to do when you have a nice car
