Well since the weather was nice today I decided to spend some time cleaning up the truck. This only the second truck I've ever clay bar'ed and it amazes me how smooth and shiney the finish turns out. I think it turned out GREAT!

Now is time to order the 35's to go under it!

Nice Job!! That's a beauty!

 

Nice work man, looks great! What is your "normal" washing regime? I noticed your swirl free, you must be doing something right!

 

that clay bar does wonders.dont it

 

Lol well I cheated on my "normal" wash routine this time, I was trying to beat the heat, so I took it to a local car wash place first thing Saturday morning. They more or less just run it trough the "touchless carwash" machine, then dry and clean up the spots it missed. They do a really good job for a "quick" wash.

I had swirls in my finish the first time I waxed my truck when I first bought it. That's why I decided to claybar it this time. I think the claybar is what got rid of my swirls, other thing I learned is to put a light coat of wax on and let it COMPLETELY dry. I think I always try to take it off too soon, causing swirls.

Thanks for the compliments, I think I finally got the whole process figured out this time!

 

@Pcwiz13 Haha I know what you mean, I never have time to perform what I call my "normal" wash. I cheat sometimes as well going through those "touchless carwashes." I never seem to find the time to get out the ol' bucket and sponge!

The clay bar is designed to get rid of surface contaminants the cause the paint/clearcoat to feel "rough" to the touch. It takes the out "roughness" by creating some weird form of friction. Don't get me wrong it looks GREAT man! I know what you mean by letting the wax completely dry, my supercrew get's waxed with Meguiar's Gold Class, what are you using?

Keep the truck clean! Best of luck!
