Gave the ol' 5.0 SuperCrew a warsh n wax this morning. The weather was outstanding.

Warsh is how I say also, not sure why, grew up in Iowa City, IA, now live in the NE corner of the state?

That is slick! Did you replace backing or just over lay it? Looks like you took the cover apart and built it back with wood the varnished?

It’s a “Mother’s” product, supposed to be a deep cleaning of the clear coat. I’ve not had the best experience with it, and it’s time consuming.

It is a process that removes 'bonded particles' from your paint, you must wax after doing it and apparently makes for a much nicer finish on your paint.

**I have only done it on one vehicle and not sure how much it did lol
