    I detailed this Mustang a few months back. The owner asked me to give her a bath and add some fresh protection. So basically this was just a wash and wax.

    Sorry in advance for the crappy pics.

    Wheels/Tires/Arches:
    Rinsed
    Tires & arches pretreated with Ardex New Wave (4:1)
    Wheels pretreated with LA's Totally Awesome
    Left to dwell for 20 minutes
    Scrubbed with various brushes
    Rinsed, checked for any missed spots
    Tires treated with Stoner's Tire Shine, left to sit for 20 minutes, then buffed off
    Wells sprayed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing (4:1) and left to dry
    Wheels sealed with DG 105

    Paint/Glass/Top:
    Rinsed
    Washed with Chemical Guys CWG/2BM/DD Uber Sponge
    Separate Brush used to scrub the top (I have a brush strictly for convertible top use only)
    Small areas/seems/etc hit with Swissvax detail brush
    Rinsed
    Dried with DD WW Drying towel
    Spot clayed with Swissvax Paint Rubber and Meg's Last Touch for lube
    Top treated with 303 Aerospace Protectent
    Glass Cleaned with CRC glass cleaner & Uber glass towels
    Trim treated with Stoner's Trim Shine

    Nice job on the Mustang. Cleaned it up very well! By 'crappy' do you really mean the pictures look grainy? Other than the graininess (which don't make the pictures look 'crappy'), your pictures are nice. You should check the ISO setting on your camera.

    The top is tan. Kinda hard to tell since the sun wasn't out. Overcast that day.

    Yes, I used it undiluted.

    Thanks Buddy

    Thanks!

    A couple of the pics were blurry and it didn't help that it was a little windy. I usually get better pics most of the time.

    Nice job on cleaning the mustang. I use new wave all the time. I tried new wave on old carpet floor mats that we throw out at work and it came out pretty decent with a mixture of 3:1 then scrub like crazy and use the extractor.
