detailed the truck yesterday using this guide! it turned out great, I havent seen it look so good in the whole time ive owned it haha. I think this is the best picture to show the shiney paint



then hours later, this happens......


I hate birds. but some water and soap and spot drying took care of it thanks mblouir!

 

She looks great--nice job!! Yeah I love birds, too.

 

bro this is an excellent guide !!!! thanks for taking the time to put it all together
i now have the confidence no to f**K anything up. this stuff been on my shelve for 6 months.
thanks again

 

No problem! Yeah when I first started I was scared to death that I'd screw up my paint, especially with it being black paint, where everything shows. I'm glad to help!

 

mblouir i am very lazy so how much would you charge me to do this to my truck?

 

That is a great write up, hoping to use this in the spring. Hoping we don't get any more snow. Hey mblouir I noticed you have black wheels. I have the Moto metal m951 black wheels. What do you use or recommend that will clean and protect the black wheels?

 

Nice write up. I clay all my vehicles at least 2 times a year. Once you do it there is no comparison. Just make sure you keep the clay CLEAN.

 

I don't really put any type of protection on them. One of the biggest things you can do is change your stock brake pads. I have had Wagner ThermoQuiets (semi-metallic) on for a few months and haven't had a speck of brake dust since. It's only road dust now, and it cleans off with a dedicated wash mitt. So much easier to keep them clean now that I don't have to deal with brake dust.

 

Excellent write-up. As a detailer, I know how much effort these steps take to do correctly. This write-up should save a lot of people a lot of money.

Nicely done man.
