Original owner claimed that my Mach had never seen rain. I really hope that I don't get caught in it but I imagine eventually its going to happen if I decide to take a road trip away from him. Its pretty clean under the hood

But I feel it just needs something to give it that brand new look. I don't really want it to be over shinny or that oilly look if I can aviod it, just want it to be clean

Man,.... And I thought I was OCD doing mine 6 times since October. I won't even pull mine out of the garae if there's more then a 30 percent chance of rain. I'm pretty sure you got me beat though. Keep up the good work.

I have a quick question about cleaning the interior, I know it has nothing to do with waxes, but what do you guys clean the interior hard to reach crevices with? a toothbrush? a fine tip paintbrush?

Maybe get some tips from this guy:

YouTube - Costly Car Detailing *Crazy*

It's older, so some may have seen it. I just think its insane but MAN those cars are beautiful when they're done!
