    Fairly impressive! If you have the time, list what you use. Looking at the website brings up a bunch of questions of what do I order. Thanks for your help and great job on a nice looking and clean taco.

    Nice truck Bro!...that takes some dedication. I try to keep mine clean and waxed and birds poop all over it and it has now turned into a "pussy wagon"...literally I can't keep cats off of it at my job. They track it down out of our vast job parking and paw it up on my Truxedo Soft tonneau cover.

    We have a ton of stray cats roaming around at the job. I called Animal Control and they said that I have to set the traps myself because they don't catch cats. WTF!

    I have noticed a couple car dings also. :mad:

    Thats one clean looking truck. I thought I do a pretty good job but I guess i'm no where close to what you do.

    BTW, love the chemical guy products. Been using them for almost two years not and thats all I buy.

    Due to overwhelming demand I am going to perform on of my MEGA washes this weekend. (Because it is not looking good.) Complete with photos and break down of the products used; and how I am using them.

    Thanks for all the comments.

    I have seen new trucks come off the dealers lot that weren't that clean underneath. Looks great. I need to take the time to do that to my truck.

    Wow. I'd pay you a lot of money if you could detail the undercarriage of my Chevelle like that.

    Organized all my s*** last night.

    From left to right.

    CG Maxi Suds - High Gloss Car Wash
    CG Wheel & Rim (Concentrated) - Wheels
    CG Window - Baller Windex Safe of Tint
    CG Speed Wipe - Detail Spray
    CG Bare Bones - The Key to clean, protected undercarriage, wheel wells and engine bay.
    CG Grime Reaper (Concentrated) - Very powerful degreaser.
    CG Green Clean (Concentrated) - All Purpose interior/exterior cleaner.

    For the concentrated stuff, I can make about 20 12oz bottles from 1 gallon. So it pays to buy in bulk, and you always have reserve.
