    QUOTE=TKOMA;3241557]I totally agree tarheelfan, i also enjoy detailing my truck. I also spend about 2 to 6 hrs. depending in how much time i have or how dirty it is. The problem is that once you start you want to keep going with every single detail and clean every single spot and corner. And yes TyW33;3239673, i do agree with you that you dnt want any help cuz you know what ur doing and know how to doit. that's what i feel too.[/QUOTE]

    i kinda agree with you guys on it a 1 mans job. i but it nice when a girl helps and she is in a nice bathing suit and you have a water fight and everything. ;):D:D you know what i mean?

    Thanks!:D It's too bad I have to park under a willow tree. The thing rains leaves, branches and sap all day long. At least the stuff just blows right off! Lots of work, but I think it's worth the reward!

    Haha...not doing it...can't make me!
    I have progressively gotten to not enjoy waxing my truck...it's too god damn big! I does feel good when it's finished, the power washes for the next month or two clean the truck up real nice and quick.

    THANK YOU xBUSxDRIVER... I was wondering if I was the only one in here that knew who she was! ;)

    I would not trust bikini-clad chicks to wash anything I own, no matter how hot they are.
    ... just can't trust anyone not to screw it up. :mad:

    I do enjoy spending 1 or 2 days a year doing a good wash / claybar / wax / interior clean etc.
    It is theraputic and I love the results... I wish I could dedicate more time to washing it more often in between.
