I would love for that to happen, I think we have both earnt this one, I remember right back to you trying to get an S550 allocation!
On Wednesday, I finally struck up the courage to inform the boss that I intend on taking extended leave once the car arrives. I hate asking for leave, let alone...
This has been my frustration for the last year. I too understand the delays, but I feel Ford could have handled this far better. A Mustang is NOT a Ranger.......................if you know what I mean.
I feel like we’ve all been through this together, hopefully things start to fall into place for everyone now.
For me, I’m just relieved the car exists now!
It'll take you a few goes to figure out the most efficient way to drive the water off the car, so stick with it.
In theory, you start with the roof, move down to the front and rear glass, the scuttle and hood, front quarters and front bumper/grill, doors, truck and bumper, wheels/arches as you...
This drying method can be used on any LSP (last-step-product), but its most effective with a ceramic coating. Depending on how particular you are, you may or may not want to follow up with a towel after using the blower.
Personally, I use the blower as a first step to remove the bulk of the...
No need to apologize, I'm more than happy to answer detailing questions.
The EZ-Detail GO is probably too big for exhaust tips. You would probably get into the pipe itself, but it wouldn't fit around the exterior surface that's surrounded by the bumper.
For exhaust tips, I use the regular...
With felt arch liners, the best thing is to blast them off with a pressure washer. A brush helps, but a pressure washer is much more effective.
The EZ-Detail Go (or the toilet brush as I call it) is the one I use for wheel arches, mainly because it's so ergonomic for that role. For $25 USD...
Gloss black on any surface is going to show scratches and marring much more than any other finish, the best you can do is limit this by being as safe as possible.
The EZ-Detail brushes are softer than you think, but yes, they can be harder on gloss black wheels. I used those brushes out of...
I was on the fence regarding Magneride until they confirmed that it included red calipers, I was 100% in then. The Black Pack I went with because I love those blacked out headlights. I considered Recaro's, I found them fine on a 2019 S550 I sampled, but everyone told me I would hate "living"...
I'm so sorry to read that, its something I have been wondering about for my situation as well. Having said that, I had an allocation confirmation in early 2023, a NSC by mid 2023, my build was apparently scheduled for October last year, we all know the story from then on. I did get my VIN back...
I pre-ordered in September 2022. I have a VIN but no email from Ford or the Ford Performance welcome pack. I just wish I could check the VIN like we could with the S550, it would at least give me something to work with, my dealer is not very proactive.
I'm at the point now where the whole...
I recommend buying new wheels! :crazy:
Having dealt with the S550 PP1 wheels, I ended up buying every single brush known to man trying to keep those things clean, so you have my sympathy. If Ford ever get around to building my car, the wait is nearly two years and counting, I'll soon be...
If you choose a wheel specific coating, they are designed and tested to be withstand very high heat ratings. I highly recommend Armour Detail Supply High Temp Wheel Coating, which I'm told was tested up to 800 degrees C / 1480 f.

Both Pure EVO and Mohs EVO can be applied to pretty much all surfaces, including trim, plastics and glass.
Mohs EVO is more specific with its working times compared to Pure EVO. If you are new to coatings, I would start with Pure EVO due to the longer working time and instant bond with the...
Correct, a foam cannon can be used on any form of paint protection, as mentioned, it will be even more beneficial on a non-ceramic coated car.
As for not getting stuck in the weeds, have a read of this thread, it has everything you need, without going overboard -

There are two terminologies used here -
Foam Gun - typically used to describe a low pressure/garden hose driven foamer. These produce watery "foam", basically soapy water. Certainly a workable solution, but I wouldn't call it foam.
