  1. The transition from the Iron-X coat to the Mothers clay kit was amazing. It was a somewhat rough feeling with a slight haze to a smooth, crystal shine. Something I did notice about to clay, which I didn't know if it was normal or not, is that it began picking up the color of my car.

    Then I began to apply the turtle wax. Went on well, came off easy. I'm really pleased with the results.

    ...oh, and then look what I had never picked up on before. Apparently, the previous owner never pointed it out to the dealer, but the factory missed some clear coat!

    I hope to apply the Dr. ColorChip a little later today, and I'll do the paint defender a little later in the week.

  2. This will be the first time I have waxed any vehicle. I have the car for a year and I figured it needed to be done. Stopped by the local Advanced Auto Parts, along with a couple things from Amazon, I got to work this morning.

     

    Started it with a wash using Dawn.

    Dried it with a Shammy, sprayed on some Iron-X. Man, that shit smells. The picture is post-wiping.

    And after rinsing off the Iron-X and wiping down the water spots after the air and a second Shammy dried the water for me.

    I'll be continuing the detail later. Up next: Clay, Wax, and some window cleaner.

  3. I open it every nice day but usually close it before I leave the car since it'd be so easy to climb up and slip in the car that way. lol Why not just wait til it stops and then diagnose the issue. Degrease, re-grease, and if that doesn't work, talk to Ford.

  4. Mine is the 35W retro-solutions' kit here. Although, I'm not sure a few of the members would like me recommending it. You can also get the 55W kit. When you decide, you'll choose the temperature, bulb type, and vehicle, and you're all set. Morimoto should be similar as I'm only slightly familiar with that website. The 3Five is a 35 watt kit, and you would probably want bixenon HIDs. Choose bulb type and harness type of your choice and you're set. I didn't consider DDM, though.
