just cleaned truck...
 
it took 4 hours and ALOT of rubbing...i pressure washed it, then hand washed it rinsed with pressure washer...hand dried twice....then went around and buffed on paint cleaner and wiped off, then paint polish wiped off, and lastly buffed on NXT wax....awesome stuff...then vacuumed real good, detailed inside and out (excluding tires didnt want the dirt rim around tire). shew i was tired, the results were great though!!

yeah, i like it when its clean i just used tire shine on my plastic and my interior, it looks better than armorall, smells better and lasts longer....it rained on it the next day but i didnt drive in it so it didnt get dirty, i just took meguiars detail spray and wiped it down, good as new again....

really nice!! i love that truck!! good work. i use mothers back to black on my plastic, it works really well and doesnt attract dirt like tire shine does.

Looking good man

Looks great, I would remove that dealer sticker from the tailgate though. I really like that color too

Trigger01 Jun 1, 2009 06:05 PM

Looks real good. get rid of that dealer tag on the tailgate though.

Looks awesome man! When your current tires wear out, look into the Firestone Destination MTs, they look MEAN on a red truck with those wheels. (Saw an F-150, similar color red, same wheels, and DEAD SEXY)

freddie Jun 2, 2009 06:36 AM

Just curious, what are the details on the buffer you used to apply NXT wax?

freddie....i used my hand....works great

freddie Jun 2, 2009 06:51 AM

Lol Ok. From that first paragraph it sounded as if you used an electric buffer, thats why I asked... Lol

dixie_boysles Jun 2, 2009 07:33 AM

cool, it felt like my arms were going to fall off after i got done appling three different produtcs...

freddie Jun 2, 2009 07:38 AM

I bet! Thats why I was wondering!

I want to do something similiar to my 250, but that truck is huge and it'll take me freaking 8 hours to clay and wax it lol
