    Kinda. I think it's the two Monsters I've had this morning that are contributing to my feel good. And the lady friend was talking dirty to me this morning enticing me to come over tonight. Can't argue with that my kneegrows.

    We used gunk I think it's called. I used the original spray but it only kinda worked. Someone suggested the foam and it's better. I haven't used it yet.

    Are you looking for a quick spray wax or a paste wax? Basically why do you want to wax it?

    I prefer an actual "gel" wax?? The truck needs it because it went all summer without a good waxing and I would like to get some on there because it has a bunch of surface scratches and it will make it a tad easier to clean it come next time it goes through mud all weekend.

    Is it harmful to engine components and such to hose down the engine bay? I'm worried about shit getting wet that shouldn't be and or rusting parts...

    Maybe I'm just over protective of my baby... :notsure:

    Oh no, no way I'm going over 5k in audio! I don't care about it like I used too.

    Now if you're talking about off roading, every 5k I spend I'm throwing a party!

    Oh I know it's easy! I could if I wanted too. What I'm saying is I won't do it. I'd rather spend that money on my truck. :thumbsup:

    Well you can't go wrong with mcguiers products. I started using their quick wax spray and its amazing. They have a paste wax that comes with the foam applicator. Its awesome too but takes time. The trick is to never let those kind of products dry. You have to wipe clean before it dries.

    And steam clean is the best for an engine. I have a powet washer and lightly mist my engine avoiding the battery, alt and intake. You can cover electrical components if you wish to be safer.

    Well I spent about an hour and a half trimming the fronts this morning. Then I cycled the suspension and they still rubbed. So the end result was removing the fronts haha

    Do you have sliders or steps? The only down side of removing the fronts is the amount of rocks you will kick into the bottoms of your doors

    IMO, it's best to go with a paint sealer like Zaino. Z2 and Z5 is a 2 step (however you can only seal with just one) will get it very shiny and deep in color. I exclusively used Zaino products for sealing black vehicles including my M3's without losing the luster and the 'haze' effect. However this requires alot of prep work making sure the surface is completely clean and free of contaminants. But it's worth it as the sealant works in our summer.

    Waxing blows as it melts and breaks down way too easy in Arizona.
