clean it regularly, regularly change ur oil, armor-all ur interior to protect from sun damage, dont drive it real hard....but thas no fun, just the obvious things that keep the stang going strong use ur judgement

wheels help just about any car. max sure to wash and wax your car at least every week to week and a half and clay bar it every month.

MustanG_guy17 · March 26th, 2007, 05:34 PM

idk what clay bar is but yea wash it at least every week and a half..but i wouldnt wax it every week and a half...maybe once every month-month and a half. waxing a car too much is bad on the paint. also use engine degreaser on you engine and keep your engine bay lookin good to keep stuff from building up there.

clay bar is this little bar you use to pick up all things on your car. everything from sap to road grime. makes your car feel like a babys ass. if you dont want to wax that often use detailing spray(comes with the clay bar as a lubricant) after washing your car

Clayhistorian · March 26th, 2007, 07:09 PM

ya clay bar wipes off everything right down to the paint, and if you get a pebble in the clay bar even the paint will come off (clay bars are pure, if you put on ground you will own your own car). If you want to take your car to a car show or show it off you're going to clay bar it then wax it, best waxing job you will get. You should regularly use a clay bar, I wouldn't say monthly but don't be a stranger to it

good hint for waxing is when water stops beading on it or isn't beading as often wax it.

i got mine sand blasted underneath and undercoated. heard that helps keep the bottom nice

Onemanzu · March 26th, 2007, 10:43 PM

they also can ming the underside... which is a thick rubbery kinda deal that prevents rust really well
