    Basically I'm looking at this:

    Full wash.
    Wash includes cleaning the wheel wells and wheels with All Purpose Cleaner & Green Wheel Cleaner. Car wash also used.
    Dry.
    Apply Super VRT to all the black on my truck, trim, tires & wheels.
    Clay bar using Detail Spray for lubricant.
    Apply Swirl & Haze Remover.
    Apply Revive Polish.
    Apply Brilliant Glaze.
    Apply Buttery Wax.
    Clean glass with Glass Cleaner.

    Interior:
    In & Out Spray
    Leather & Interior Cleaner
    Glass Cleaner

    For basic upkeep, Waterless Wash and Detail Spray.

    Since I live in an apartment and don't garage it, the Waterless Wash and Detail Spray will be used A LOT. Which is why I went ahead and ordered 1 gallon refills for both.

    This order should last me awhile. These aren't products you have to apply each week. So I'll be doing my truck and practicing on a few other vehicles and eventually will start doing some details on the side.

    I'll be documenting these and I'll try to post before & after shots.

    It's all high end detail products. Retail on it would have been close to $500. They had a sale at the time and my buddy works for them and hooked me up a little so it was a little under $400.

    If we ever have a TX meet, I'd be glad to run some details. This was just the start.....hand polishing. Once I get it down, I will step into machine polishing which is even more incredible. Get out all the swirl marks, make the paint look like a mirror, etc. Also at that point we can buff out deep scratches too.

    My truck has a little under 120k miles now and it still shudders sometimes on take off or when I take off into a hard turn one way or the other.

    As for the 4x4 issue - I dunno. I have "just" a PreRunner.

    I don't know...the thread is 5 days old and I hardly check the TX section other than this thread. I'll have to check the schedule. My buddy at Adam's is flying in from Cali and running a clinic in San Antonio one of the weekends in May. I don't know when, but I'm supposed to head down to catch up with him and some other friends from SATX. It's either the first or second weekend. It's kind of dependent on what's going on there. But Bridgeport is really less than an hour away. I'm at Possum Kingdom. I bought my second Boston Terrier from a breeder in Bridgeport LOL.

    Dunno. Does anyone have experience with the trails? How are they? I haven't done anything more than really, really basic off-road trails with my truck. Nothing major like rock crawling, extreme mud, rivers, etc.
