How is everyone's Saturday?

 

Was goin pretty good until it started raining

 

Sounds fun, I am just sitting at work eating some sour patch kids watching the Hoonigan Burnyard Bash livestream.

 

That’s the way to do it

 

It is either that or I start looking at truck parts that I need to buy and end up buying them...

 

Chuck wagons are overlander AF

 

White Sands is nice this time of year.

 

Worked 4:30 to 2:30, wrote a 10 page paper, ate some ice cream, cried in the shower. It was a pretty nice little Saturday.

 

Took a little bit longer as I had someone ask for a detail on Thursday and Friday. Overall, the truck took 13 hours from start to finish.

Wash, Decon, clay: 3 hours
Polish: 7 hours
Coating: 3 hours

Looks good! My truck will never look that good.

 

What products do you use?

 

Compound: Jescar Correcting Compound
Polish: Sonax Perfect Finish
Coating: Gtechniq CSL and EXO (Paint), CarPro DLUX (Trim)

 

What about if I wanted to wash my truck, but not spend a ton doing it.

Any particular guides on what to use/buy? I don’t need it to be show truck worthy, just clean enough to make the paint last longer.

 

Wash it, clay bar, seal

 

for general washes, I use the following:
Car Pro Reset (cost a bunch but it goes a long way) or Adams Car Shampoo

Adams Tire and Rubber Cleaner
P&S Brake Duster (wheel cleaner)
Sealant: Car Pro reload

Those are for general washes that I use for both my vehicle and others

 

For my washes, I use a foam cannon with meguiars gold class soap and the double bucket method with grit guards. Every 6 months or so I clay bar and wax the truck. For my wheels I use adams polishes wheel cleaner and their tire/rubber cleaner. Stuff is amazing. Then i finish it off with tire gel. My truck is in no way a show truck, but it looks good after a wash.

 

I use rain
