    So what started off as a simple wash. Turned into a complete strip of the old wax, then a decam, quick clay of the paint. Then a coat of Griots 3&1 ceramic applied with my buffer, then 2 coats of Griots ceramic wax with a finishing pad. I just couldn’t stop. IMG_1891.jpg

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Funny how that happens, I did similar on Tue/Wed. Truck is 7 years old and hadn't had a full going over since new. I used Chemical Guys, though.

    Wow! I commend your (and other detailers) efforts. I appreciate the hell out of that; I just don't have the time or patience for it. My truck sits outside 24/7/365. I keep the outside washed and touched up with Turtle Wax's Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray. I had it coated with FeynLab ceramic a few years ago, but I wasn't overly impressed. Anyhow, I try to keep the outside looking nice, but I spend my time INSIDE my truck, so I focus more attention there.
    You did an EXCELLENT job!!!
