Waking up the Pony (Spring bath)

[DARK HORSE]

Hi guys, it's been a long winter and my "09" Pony's been hibernating all winter in the garage... Well I woke her up this past weekend and gave her her spring bath (OH YA!). Any way I thought I would share some pictures. Sorry no befores (Iknow , I know) but I never really let her get dirty or in need of any serious correction and I did a complete detail and polishing just before I put her to bed for the winter. Products used: CR spotless, Pinnacle XMT shampoo and conditioner soap, Dodo juices Wooky, Dried with leaf blower, Fk-425, and PakShak WW's, PCXP with various LC pads, m105/m205, Stoners glass cleaner, 303 protectant, P21S wheel gel, PB world wheel sealant, Optimum metal polish, Mothers powerball, Pinnacle Souveran paste wax, Pinnacle leather cleaner and conditioner, DP interior cleaner.
Here we go:

Nice work Tad! Thanks for all the pictures! She's a looker rops: :drool:

How did you end up liking the 303? Is it for you?

Also, do you do anything special for your chrome?

Thanks Corey, I appreciate it. I liked the 303, but did not use it on the clear plastics. (used DP Plexall for clear) forgot to mention that. I used Optimum metal polish and Mothers power ball on all chrome. I used Optimum metal polish and 0000 steel wool on the stainless exhaust tips.

I've got some of that Optimum MP in my cart on your recomendation. Was planning to use it on my SS exhaust tips as well. Didn't know I could use it for the chrome too. Sounds great! Can't wait!

I knew you wouldn't be able to let the water sit.
So are you going to try it? See if you get any spots? My money is on you are too D.O... and you will end up drying it (at least partly)

The 'stang looks good Tad. I can't wait for the full swing of detailing weather here.

Looks great. Nice Mustang. Been itching to get my pony out. We have had a couple nice days in Indiana, but, the roads are still covered in sand, salt and potholes. It is spotless clean under the cover so no sense in washing it either. We are supposed to get some rain this week. Hopefully it will clean the roads off and I will be able to fire her up within the week.

Do you see much of a pressure drop across that CR? I have been thinking about getting one, but, I don't have real good water pressure.

Man, that looks great! I was thinking about the CR Spotless too, but I'll wait for your review first! BTW, when did you change your SN?

Oh my she is Pinnacle beautiful!!! I love the engine shots too, wish you were closer cuz I somehow think a ride in that Mustang might be real fun!!! :cruisin:

When I hooked my hose up inside my garage so my car washes would start utilizing the water filter I thought I would let it sit and check it out. I haven't had the nerve as of yet.

Ya it works great Corey, I think you'll like it (and it kinda has a slight cherry smell) way better than that old school harsh smelling polish!

Don't say that Adam :nomore: But seriously thanks for the kind words my friend.

Thanks Dalton, appreciate it...You are right about just letting it sit, I tried but just couldn't do it fully. I did however let alot of it dry on it's own. I used the leaf blower to blow out the crevices and some of the water off. I let it sit for quite awhile and then went at it w/Fk-425. It definitely made a BIG difference in the way I usually dry. I was a lot more casual and the parts that fully dried on there own had NO water spotting. I definitely love the CR and next time I wash the Dodge I am going to wash it and totaly walk away for a few hours. I'll post a review then, but preliminary testing looks GREATrops:

Thank you! I here ya about the itch man

Do you see much of a pressure drop across that CR? I have been thinking about getting one, but, I don't have real good water pressure.

Definitely some, but not what I would say is to much. The nozzle that comes with it reduces the flow to I think around 2 GPM, but is designed to not affect the pressure to much. More than enough pressure to do the job. As far as input pressure they recommend no more than 75 psi anyway.

Thanks Richard, appreciate the kind words my friend. As far as the CR goes, Intital testing looks GREAT, I am thinking I am going to love it!!! After I play around with it some more I'll post the results in a review. (Unfortunetly it just started snowing again) THANKS ADAM :bat:

Thank you for the sweet words Meghan...You keep treating me so well and I am apt to make the 2 day drive down just to take you crusing
