...and this is why I rate Zymol

it's not actually a mustang, its a mk1 sierra xr4i, although i agree the front end does bear a resemblance, mainly due to the headlights....

the american equivalent would be the Merkur XR4Ti

basically the same car but with a 2.3L 4-cyl Turbo engine instead of the XR4i's normally aspirated 2.8 V6

Your car looks amazing!

I agree.  Try the bug and tar or use a spray lubricant.  Whatever you do, you might want to follow up with wax.  I am in the process of claying my black E46.  From all the research I have done the claying is the first step.  In addition to that I am using 2 polishes (in sequence), a molecular agent (FMJ), a finishing glaze and then wax.  It is a real time consumer.

Thus far the results are great.  BUT, the over-spray from aircraft painting (white specks all over my car) are not coming off.

I am using a very fine clay at the moment.  The Meguiars did a great job but on the dark paint it was a little rough.  Make sure to keep the surface wet & wet.  I mixed a solution of P21S car shampoo (3 drops)  and alot of water in a spray bottle.  Works well as a clay lubricant.

I bought all the products from a company in New York and they have a great site full of instructions. http://www.detailedimage.com/howto.html

Additionally there is the DIY section here http://www.bimmerdiy.com/diy/detailing

I found both of these helpful and as soon as the fires die down here I plan to finish the car.

One more thing.  Don't drink beir while you are doing this .  The voice of experience talking here.

Hi John,  the cars looking really sound,about time we saw some decent pics.   Hope its running sweetly.

Hope you've learn't to control that right foot, gently,gently  Don't know about removing the tow bar. I reckon with that dirty great V8 you could tow a bus.   See ya,  Steve.

Car looks great but you badly need a detachable tow bar.
