Having it professionally detailed. :thumbs:

Might only have 500 miles on it, but new vehicles often need a solid detail as much as cars with 50k miles. The finish (paint) on mine was in desperate need of clay/polish/wax and the brushed aluminum on the grille was spotted and milky. Front bumper had a lot of residue from the protective film too.

If you are in Washington (or can get your truck here) ... Northwest Auto Salon is by far the best detail shop in the area. Hell, they're recognized by enthusiasts across the Western US as *the* shop to go to. Had a Signature Detail done on my M3 in July and the car was concours ready. :thumb:

Would have been nice if I had the room.

Finally got the second load and spread it out.

I don't know what it is, but I haven't been a fan of the 2015's I've seen in my area. Not sure if it's the colors on the new body style or what. Yours is beautiful though. Might be the grille that does it for me on this one. Looks awesome!

Hauled 10 sheets of cement backerboard, a bag of quik set, an 8' length of 2" X 24" insulation, a new 20' extension ladder, and some stuff to put radiant heat under the ceramic tile we're doing in the master bath renovation this weekend. New whirlpool tub, vanity, vanity top, medicine cabinet, toilet, fixtures, paint, total transformation with lots of ceramic tile, floor and ceilings. Truck has hauled most of the materials. Tear down starts 1st thing tomorrow a.m.
