Default Why I Love Ruby Red

It's -33 Degrees Celsius this morning and we have been in a cold steak for quite some time up in the North Eastern part of Ontario, Canada. I managed to get the truck in my dad's shop over the weekend to wash and detail the truck. I'm not a professional by any means and this was just some mid winter preventative maintenance as I had waxed the truck with Mothers FX Paste wax prior to the snow falling.

Rinse & Wash/Wax with Mothers California Gold Car Soap
Detailed Plastic with Mothers Back to Black
1 Coat of Mothers FX Spray Wax

I took this pic from inside the house while the truck was in the morning sun, Truck has only 4,800km's on it.

Nice, but I don't think I could bring myself to do that, knowing that hard work is down the drain ten minutes after I start to drive it.
