I've only used Mothers products on it. The only thing that isn't Mothers is the tire shine, and the soap. Everything else from wax, polish, claybar, interior, rims, blah blah is Mothers

As i was scrolling down the pics i saw the v6 and the first thing that came to mind was (GAY). Then i scrolled down a little farther and it changed to (BADASS). nice car man!

I really like the painted upper radiator support too, havent seen that before.
