I need my 04 Cobra detailed in a bad way. Claybar and the works. I doubt it has been done once since rolling out of the factory.

(And yes I went a little overboard on my avalanche with the chrome so I apologize, it was not supposed to end up that extreme, but I couldn't stop at the time).
How long does it normally take to do a mustang with that "turtles black box" your first time out ?

Took me two to two and a half hours to do without using a polishing machine so I'm sure you would cut the time if you used a machine instead of just doing it by hand.

Have been using Meguiars products for years, however, I recently had the opportunity to try out Mother's Reflections and am very impressed with the results. Went on easy, came off even easier compared to NTX 2.0. I am a believer!

Washed, clayed, and waxed mine this weekend. I took my my sweet time because of the heat and finished about 4 hours later. Haha

I used the Mother's Instant Detailer (red bottle) and my Meguiar's NTX 2.0 wax.

Justin, I might have to check into that Reflections wax to see if it comes off any better. That NTX was a lot of circles for my arm after washing and claying. =|

How long did you let the NTX sit on the car for before buffing it off?

I used a microfiber and my hand to buff. LOL

I let it haze over a little then started to "wax off". Maybe 20 seconds or so.

Collinite 845 right after purchasing. User friendly, apply with a d/a to get your coat thin, will not stain trim white, useful on paint, glass, trim and wheels

Ive been using Optimums Spray Car Wax on this truck since new. It offers excellent protection, it definitely helps bring out the mettalics in the dark blue pearl, plus, it takes only 5 minutes to wax the beast!

That looks really good sir!

Nicks sounds like a good option, but does anyone have any references in the north Dallas, Plano, Frisco areas? I drove through some sort of yech from a construction vehicle or kicked up from a construction zone. Need pro opinion.

Thanks
