    I did my Impulse Red on Friday and it was definitely worth it... even though it's rained every day since. It took me 4 hours to do my regular cab. How long did it take for yours?

    that was to wash it really good, use the liquid clay, clay bar, and then wax. I used the Turtle Wax kit. I'm assuming the OP did too?

    "what type of side steps you got looks good?"

    Thanks Chief. Steps are N-Fab 3" nerf bars

    "How long did it take for yours?"

    It took +/- 4 hours with a couple beer breaks.

    "damn good looking truck man. love that color too"

    Thanks tacomaman06.

    " I used the Turtle Wax kit. I'm assuming the OP did too?"

    I used Chemical Guys gray fine clay, spray bottle of soapy car shampoo and waxed with
    $21 Collinite 845 Insulator Wax-Easy to Use Carnauba+Polymer Wax Sealant-High Gloss Shine+Durable Hydrophobic Beading & Long Lasting Paint Protection for Cars/Boats/Trucks/RVs & Motorcycles (16 fl oz)
    Collinite 845.

    "Truck looks good and shiny, but where's the tire shine at?"

    The tires were recently changed after about 5500 miles so that the whitewall faces inward. The blackwall now showing has a bit of "tire browning" so I'll thoroughly scrub them again the next few washes and also allow the elements to "wear off" some of the dirt, brake dust and "browning".


    Thanks for the comments.
