Went over the truck with white pad and MG 205 then MG #21 sealant. Looks like glass. Now i'm going to put 2 coats of wax on it. I will post pics after the wax.

Yes i do, and takes about 5 min. Use about 2 gallons. But then i dry with a leaf blower. Any water left over or that drips later won't leave water spots.:xyxthumbs: Mike

Yup black mustang and black express ram

I wash, two bucket system. Use foam gun. Just normal water for this stage. Use a hand held pump type pesticide sprayer I got form Princess Auto that has RODI water in it for final rinse. Then I use a electric leaf blower to dry the car. Only time cloth touches paint is washing, and there is...

i have a black ram 1500. Would i benefit from going over the truck with meguirs 205 then #21 sealant for best shine and protection. Has some very minor scratches already from just day to day use. Was thinking red pad. Mike

I have a RODI system for making water for my saltwater tanks. I use this in a sprayer for my final rinse. No spotting.

agreed

Of course my own car. But mustangs of all years are great.

Thanks, and great car you have. I love the cobra. Would be my first choice, but funds were limited. I already have a very meticulous wash routine. Most of those scratches came from the previous owner. I also have a 14 ram black express. This truck is all black everywhere. I use the two bucket...

It takes out the last of the impurities. For saltwater tanks. 99.9% pure.

RO ( reverse osmosis) water that also goes through a DI resin. LOL. Sorry, I have an rodi system for my saltwater tanks. But anything that is purified, which means no TDS (total dissolved solids), which means no water spots.

I have rodi water in a pesticide sprayer. So my final rinse is with that. Then the blower. But I have found that I don't need the rodi water with the blower, as long as i get it all off the car.

Don't use a drying towel. I use a electric leaf blower. Less chance for scratches. As long as you have good coat of wax, the water runs off really easy with the blower.

Oh ya I know the feeling. Funny how black looks so grey under those lights. I have some plastic pieces that are painted black, and they look absolutely dull grey under intense light. I am in the same boat. It looks great under direct sunlight now, looks like glass. Before I could see all kinds...

Thanks, I tried to take more before pics, but they didn't show much. Too many cloudy and rainy days here for good pics. I couldn't have done this without all the help from this site. Mike
