Much better without the stripe

The weather is nice in Texas but every time I have washed my truck in the past month we get a ice storm the next week.

I'm gonna wait a few more days before I get out and clean mine.

nice truck man very clean!

I think your truck would look good without the pin-stripping but you gotta keep the 4x4 sticker or else people will think it's a 2wd... can't be having that

Nope i didnt use the clay bar, i actually have no idea how to use that haha. Just washed it and then waxed it up with Turtle wax Ice paste and buffed with some elbow grease and a microfiber cloth.

Clay is used to get crap off the vehicle. such as road grime and brake dust, and whatever else.. You just wash the truck real good, then apply some spray wax to the vehicle/claybar and rub the clay bar back and forth. It takes all the crap off and makes the surface smooth again. then you wash it again, then wax it.
