    Thanks. The richness of color is starting to go, so it is about due... I will likely do one more coat next time as well.

    Nice! I love to keep my truck clean. After the salt/dust/sand is off the road I will do a full detail. Never get it as clean as yours though! Our upstate NY winters destroy vehicles!

    Yeah I bet. Winters usually aren't too bad down here. Maybe snow 2-3 times a year. Mostly rain.

    yea the 5 years of salt and snow and now the salty sea air where I am now makes it impossible to have the undercarraige like that, but the rest of it including my engine bay looks just like that

    Thank you! Keeping the truck clean is easy. The other part is one day at a time.

    I'm glad to see that there are others that get under their truck to clean it up.

    Time, patience, and desire ;)

    No brushing... Really just the 303 and a applicator pad (like you use to put on wax) and a towel. And a lot of time.

    Thanks a F*king lot.

    I was feeling good about myself for wiping down the engine bay stuff that I could reach the other day, and now I gotta look at this. Real nice.






    BTW- Excellent job!:D

    Perks of the job;)

    It actually was a really nice day. Temp about 80*, stereo on in the garage, and my daughter serenading me with Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd all day.

    You can see the top of her head in the picture

    Wouldn't surprise me if you took the oil out and cleaned it.

    I wash my windshield when it needs it but then I notice how many micro scratches and pits it has and I wonder why I cleaned it.
