Thanx Guys. It's one thing to win at the local Car Show, but this was a National Event with over 2200 Fords and a ton of Shelby's, so I am pretty happy. Thanx Phil for letting me pick your brain once in a while, oh and I rocked a "That'll Buff Out" DD T-Shirt at the on Friday.
congrats on the award man! no wipe down after 2.5 hours drive? either the road and free and clean or there were no bugs in the air...lol nice stang!
Thanx, yep ton of them we drove up with 10 Stangs Yep. After much discussion about "love touches" with other enthusiasts and detailers. I decided after a long drive to a show I am not wiping my car down with WW and a MF towels I personally feel that I am lightly scratching the paint and would rather wait and wash with hose/foam gun and dry with a leaf blower. Car looked very clean after 2.5 hr drive in the rain. Had some dirt and bugs but nothing too noticeable. Nothing stuck to the paint.................lol
