Washed and waxed my ride today. Later took a little ride with my wife for ice cream and a few pics. Got some dirt on the tires - it's a truck so par for the course - and some pretty decent shots near sunset. Please enjoy

For each wash I apply Adams mega foam twice using my pressure washer; the first time as a pre wash then re applying and removing with a micro fiber mitt. For the tires and wheels I use Adams tire and wheel cleaner. I use Adams buttery wax every 6 to 8 weeks, and their quick detailer after the "in-between" wax washes. Been very happy with the results so far.
