Just took some pics after a little cleaning...

Wash:
-Poorboys Soap and Suds via Wolfgang foam gun
-Schmitt wash mitt with two bucket rinse system
-Dried with Cobra waffle weave microfiber towel

Polish: (no need to clay since it was done a month ago)
I only polished to remove a few swirls that were bugging me, so I didn't have to go full out.
-Optimum Polish on blue Edge finishing pad with Porter Cable on speed 6

Wax/Sealant:
-Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
-DP Max Wax (really allows the metallic flake in our paint to "Pop")
-and then topped with Duragloss Aquawax

Wheels:
-DP Wheel gel to clean
-DP Wheel glaze to seal them
-Armor all foam and Poorboys Bold & Bright Tire dressing

Misc:
-Poorboys trim restorer
-Duragloss metal polish
-Wolfgang plastik sealant
-DP Krystal Vision and Cobra waffle weave microfiber glass towel

Here's my comment. Your car is ugly and your detail stash is minimal. You should have used Zaino.

LOL!!1!!11! I know you hate me.

That's for stapling my $20 bills together today.

Hahahaha. It was only funny on the other forum.....now you're turning into a Will....







PS. You car is filthy, wash it.
 
Looks excellent Greg! :applause: Very nice collection as well.

On a lighter note, as MUCH as I love black, I would take quantim's blue GTO.



I was debating what my second car would be; supercharged Mach 1 or tuned GTO. More HP in the Mach 1, but.... the GTO's are REALLY nice as well..
 
Well, I am a little biased on that.......GTO. Andrew (Quantim0's) GTO does look awsome in person. If you are interested, check out LS2gto.com
 
Cool! You got to love those GTO's. To even the score, I'll take the black one. :)
 
Hey Nick if you want to see either of our cars we are both less then an hour from Orlando. I would agree with Greg on choosing the GTO. The ride and interior is much nicer plus everyone and their sister has a Mustang, GTOs are much less common. Put a blower on a GTO and you'll be walking all over any Mustang that comes around.

Mach 1 supercharged puts out 470 HP and its lighter than the GTO. That's stock exhaust and chip. Upgrade exhaust and chip you'll push 500 very easy. Plus they're even rarer than the GTO's and your sister isn't driving one of these bad boys. ;)


And they're a few thousand cheeper. That's still a few years down the road, but I STILL love the look of the GTO's. I'm an American muscle type guy. No little 4 cylinders for me.

Where do you guys live? I'm a little over an hour from Orlando as well.:confused:
 
We live out on the spacecoast in Brevard. Just a little drive down 528 and your right in our backyard.

Ahhh.....I'm 1.5 hrs WEST of Orlando.
 
Well Nick let's get some learnin on. lol

The 05+ GTOs start with 400 hp vs the Mach 1s 300 hp. A Magnacharged, Procharged, or turbo'd GTO will be making well over 500 whp. Greg's making 450 whp with a H/C package. When my N2O finally works I'll be making 500 whp. Also about Mach 1s being rare I know of atleast 5-6 in my area here, plus 2 that are for sale at car lots on the same street.

Not knocking the Mustangs 4.6, but the LSX engine is the engine against which all small block V-8s are judged.

Remember speed kills, play it safe, buy a Ford.

Well, I will easily give in. I own a luxury car now with a V8 and was showing some intrest in the two cars.

Although, my info is correct. Mach 1's produced in 2003 : 9,652 (7k manual, 2k automatic)

400 HP is fine for me. But the price of a supercharged Mach 1 with 32k miles is within reason, and under $20,000. That's my budget..

I won't buy until I'm 25, after I saw it will cost me $330 a month for insurance! :( I can finance the car cheaper than that!


I'm not knocking either car, they are both SWEET cars IMO!

Yes, whatever you get I'm sure that you'll be happy. If you really want a nasty fast car get an 03-04 Cobra. For $2k into the motor/blower you'll be walking all over most cars on the road. My gf actually wants a Mach 1 and I will admit that they are nice looking for a Mustang, lol.

When you a few years older you can look at both cars and decide which one will make you happy. Both cars have tons of potential, but I feel the GTO is a better starting point.
 
Who airbrush the tree on the side of your car?:D
Man oh man black with pop, awesome bro!:applause:

very nice job, man. i love the car and i love the detail.

i see youve got some BFG g-force's... you should really consider numping up to the g-force sports, hands down the best tire ive ever rode on.
 
Looks great. I've been trying to think of a nice neat way to store my products.....Your arsenal has given me inspiration! Haha car looks great!

Oh ya, these tires definatly blow. The sucked stock, but now, I can't even hit it in 2nd gear with out a smoke show. 1st is useless without my drag radials on. I will be moving up some wider tires and rims in a couple of months.
