I'm not a body shop guy, nor a detail guy, for the record. Although I have painted my own car, and maintained paint jobs for half of my life.

Did you use corvette paint or cavalier paint?

I've used ivory soap for years so I don't follow the "too abrasive" mumbo jumbo. Although I wax often. I have some shots of a nearly 20 year old factory paint job that has only been washed with ivory soap if y'all would like me to admit it as evidence.

Its too aggresive for the paint and it will strip any wax or paint protectant that you have put on.

Which is what you do though for proper paint correction... Remove everything right? Then start working. Just asking because the guy saying to never use dish soap would be incorrect

Well watyaknow, a ruststang.

You read my mind.

Have you been to West Texas with the car?

Was going to say looks like west texas dirt, my f250 I recently got came from the west. Had red dirt dust in all the nook and crannies

I haven't had the rear window issue, knock on wood. I wonder if these are just first year issues and have been resolved. What really sucks is that I really like the truck, I just hope it doesnt fall apart.

To my knowledge, the rear window leak is the gasket around the third brake light goes flat and water leaks into the rear window area.

My rear window leak wasnt the third brake light. I went to town with a hose, then a cup of water, then the kiddos squirt guns. It was the passanger side area.


The older Ford trucks had the same rear gasket issue of sort. Guess Ford needs to stop making the rear glass assembly bolt in.

I learned that on a quiet night you can hear a new mustang rust.

That's because you when you say "gojo", you mean "jizz "

And why is that?
