First off Ohio roads are riddled with pot holes

I love how that is everyones excuse for not dropping their car. If i can drive 1.5" ground clearance int he middle of LA then you can do it with a moderate drop. I highly doubt and US roads are much worse if at all then LA!!!

It has nothing to do with normal road wear. We had record snow fall here this year and the salt trucks/plows absolutely destroy the roads. Then they try and patch it with tar that doesnt work and gets all over your car. The only place I have seen it worse is in Detroit, those roads are AWFUL.

When it snows in LA we will talk....

In Ca. some refer to Seagull **** as DoDo....:)

Nice looking OB coupe, glad you found a wax that you enjoy laying on. It's not how easy wax comes off but how long it lasts that's important. Absolutely beautiful Mustang "rag top" hope you have a very secure garage to keep her in....

Because, everyone knows how cool dropping cars is. In order for the car to complete its highest level of coolness, it has to be dropped. That's why everyone wants some extra droppage. Not so much for us, but just to coolify his car further.

The first step should always be to give your car a good wash to get rid of contaminants. You dont want to be rubbing wax into dirt as it will scrtach your car.

If you have scrtches you want to remove you may want to consider using a polish after the wash to help remove them.

Once the car is totally clean you can apply your wax. You dont want to have any excess was, make sure it is uniform and a light coat. This makes it easier to remove. If you want a higher shine you can always layer the wax. Remember to only use micro fiber while applying and removing wax. This will help prevent causing any new scrtaches.

Once the wax is done you may want to use a glaze to get the maximum shine. A glaze goes on and off just like wax but helps boost the optical shine.

And while youre at it I would also put a coat on the wheels. Regardless if they are chromed or not a good coat of wax helps keep them looking new.

I finish the cycle off with some tire trim and you are good to go!
