I don't see much of a difference between the before and after.
When I saw it would be a before and after, I was expecting a some old rust bucket, but then I saw the before and did a double take to ensure I didn't accidentally click 'after'.
It already looked clean to me. :/

Maybe I just don't care enough about keeping cars like trophies instead of something to get you to a place.
Justis, do you not see the filth? https://gyazo.com/ca3986118cb195033b494e1fc79748eb I mean just look at it. You can't drive around like that![DOUBLEPOST=1496058507][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hello,

So tomorrow is Memorial day and I was going to go out with family to eat or drive around places we can spend time at. We were going to use my car since I've recently got it and wanted to get use to the stiff clutch since It's very different compared to other vehicles but it is a mustang so it makes sense to have a stiff clutch.

I've been washing the car and I've taken before and after pictures. I've started my car at around 3 PM and finished around 6 PM so a solid 3 hours of washing my car really did a good shine and made my car look even nicer then before.

I've wanted to wash my car because when I bought it the dealer only soaked it in soap and that's not really how you take care of a car. You have to wash it about 2-3 times. Clay bar it, Wax it, Glass cleaner, Darker Tires and you have to be very gental and make sure you go all around the car when you do it.

Most people go to car washes now and I really dislike car washes, Of course it takes 5 min out of your day but it does not help the paint / clear coat on your car. Your car has 3 layers protecting the paint on your car and damage the clear cat (top layer) will place scratches and damage your car and won't look as nice, Plus you get to know more about your car when you clean it yourself and get a good connection if you actually care about your car and take care of it.

I've taken before and after pictures of the car. You may know a difference. If not, Camera quality is not always something to rely on but I can assure you there is definitely a difference

After Is when you can see a bit of a shine but again camera can not really catch it but I can see a bit of difference but irl you can definitely see a difference

The car looks great and washing it 3 times with soap and water, Waxing, Using a clay bar, Drying, Using glass cleaner, Using Darker tire materials and a bit of
vacuuming the car looks amazing. Here are the materials I used if anyone would like to know what to use for there cars :)

NOTE: I did not use Windex on my car, In there is dish soap and water. It allows me to scrub the clay bar all over the car nice and smooth without leaving marks. It helps get rid of any extra materials left on the car.

You also DO NOT want to use regular towels or paper, t-shirts. etc

You want to use Micro-phobic towels. It's very soft and it grips dirt into it and does not damage the paint on your car.

P.S I do not care if my license plate is showing. Nothing like that really bothers me. Could care less if you know where I live since everyone knows my address, state and city. It's all on my Membership card on here.

Thanks for reading ! :)
I think you should clean that floor too, that's no way to treat a tile floor. Don't get me started on treatment for the leather couch or wooden furniture, they need their oil Kappa

It's honestly a beautiful car, Me myself im not really a car guy and the roads here in South Africa is usually very bad due to our government not doing their job so my dad bought me a
Volkswagen Amarok and loved it ever since and also noticed that washing it with normal soap kind of damaged the paint job a bit (car washes)

And i haven't seen an 2009 ford Mustang GT in forever :p

Interesting,

South Africa. I haven't heard anyone living there in years xD that's crazy though. And thank you ! I understand you may not love cars. I just do cause they're something we use almost everyday and they're really amazing when you do a lot of tricks with them on the road :)

How is the visibility when driving it? My dad has a Camaro and the visibility is terrible.

Visibility is decent. I can see the road and the hood of my car. As long as I can see my blind spots, mirrors and the road then that's all that matters to me.
