    Autogeek Mustang Roll Call ?

    Can we edit our own posts? It won't let me. I forgot some visual mods on my Cobra. Billett foot pedals, Silverhorse Black Billett Fuel Door, shorty antenna, Cobra floor mats, and sequential tail lights. I love the sequential light. I want to add Raxiom Halo headlight. I'd like to add a...

    Buckets for Grit guards

    I purchased the white/ translucent ones from the Home Depot paint department. Like someone mentioned they are great because they have measurement lines on them and a nice foam handle and the grit guards fit perfect.

    Throwing in the towel...

    I had a really down day like yours last weekend. I waited all year for Fords at Carlisle last weekend. It was the 20th anniversary of the SVT program. We have a 96 SVT Cobra. I have chronic pain from 3 lower back surgeries and 1 failed neck surgery. I wanted to correct and detail my car...

    Autogeek Mustang Roll Call ?

    It's a beauty. You can be very proud because it's all yours. I saw lettering on the back window of a Stang once it said something like "Mods not paid for by mommy & daddy". Did you work as a detailer?

    Colonite 845 beading @ 6 months

    Also while it sits outside 24x7 it doesn't get driven every day. I put on less 3K a year. I've had 4 spine surgeries, hence the screen name, don't drive everyday. And if I do it's very local.

    Colonite 845 beading @ 6 months

    It's a 1990 Ford Ranger pickup. It's my DD and sits outside while my 96 SVT Cobra gets the garage. The only maintenance since January has been 2 runs through an automatic no touch car wash and I carry a spray bottle of ONR at QD strength and a mf cloth for bird bombs. Oh and it's one coat...

    Mike do you know the size of the Meg's canopys?

    I was at a product demo a year ago and a product rep from Meguiars was there. He was working under a EZ UP Type canopy. It worked well. I want to buy a canopy. Do you know the size they use? I'm guessing it was larger than 10x10'. Thanks, Dave

    A washing trick that doesn't seem to get mentioned

    How is this water sold in the stores? Is it the type where you bring your own jug and fill it, or is it sold in 1 gallon jugs? What exactly am I looking for in the store? I've been very disappointed in the suds I get from various types of car shampoos bought from AG and I'm sure my water is...

    What did I do wrong

    Looks great. Are you coming out to the Ford Nationals at Carlisle next weekend? They are having a 20th anniversary gathering of the SVT Cobras. I plan on being there with our 96 Cobra. What will you top it with after correction? I'm going to use Ultima Paint Guard Plus sealant. Probably alone...

    Buying a used car. Need advice. Trim restorer, Way to extract smoke smell

    Didn't buy car. Shame I really liked it. But I had my mechanic check it out. He found that the engine had a leaking seal. It was leaking oil a fair amount. Also he felt the car had sat unused for a long time. This would dry out the seals and cause other issues. It also needed the timing belt...

    New MF cloths, wash first?

    I've got a new shipment of Cobra MF towels and a new bag of another brand towels. I also purchased my first bottle of MF cleaner/rejuvenator from AG. Blackfire I think. Should I wash the towels before my first use? If so can I machine dry on low? I have a show to prep for today and I don't...

    Towel storage for mobile detailers?

    I don't know if anyone else experienced this. I threw a couple of white Meg's MF towels that I had used for QD into a Sterlite container and closed the lid. After just a day or two they had red blotches on them like a mold breakout or something. Ever since then I put them in there until there...

    Best way not to touch black car?

    DJulin, looks great sir. When done right black rules, till the pollen hits. I know we've got a black 96 SVT Cobra. It gets dusty just sitting in the garage. We have a very good custom car cover, but it scratches the paint, so we don't use it in the garage. I need a light weight dust cover...
