Waxing the Hertz before winter

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I would be happy to do others cars (waxing with the P 21 S carnauba) if you are in the proximity of Chicagoland.  It's very rewarding to do good work on something.  I don't do orbital polishing or the like.  Too dangerous and it wears down the paint.

That's a 10-4.  I will address that oversight forthwith.

Sometime next spring you should after washing your car, try a Iron remover prior to waxing, etc. It removes the small imbedded particles from pollution, exhaust and brakes from paint and leaves a totally clean surface. You will notice how much better your waxing will come out. Oh, and a Random Orbital polisher is very safe, operated correctly, and with the correct pad brings out added luster. I use several coats of sealant prior to several coats of Carnuba wax, even white cars will glisten.
Very nice Shelby by the way, I just purchased a red with white stripe '66 myself, looking forward to enjoying it this fall.
