Thanks. Yeah I like a clean car/truck.

Some of the cleaning goodies...




Blue bins are mostly microfiber, waffle weaves, pads, and 1 gallon jugs of chemical. I have a stack of 5gal pails/brushes as well.

Here is one of my old F150's, this was where we tested some product and technique...





Here's my car after about 12 hours of work

Fogs, heads, and backup lights.



Fog lights only.

I used my cell phone for these 2 pics so there is not a lot of options on focus/aperture.

Looks like you really know how to clean them and I'm liking the vintage hardware you have on the wall looks like you might have been an old school gamer at one time

Doing some plastidip, going to do the chrome rings on the dash.



BEFORE



DURING



AFTER
Doing the wheels as well, scroll up for before pics...



DURING

Center caps




Wheels ready for reinstall.

I used 4 cans total at about 4 bucks a can. It was also a nice time to get the wheels really clean, using my favorite cleaner, Autowash P21S.

Grab them and pull a little bit and twist 90 degrees one way and they should release. Then the little chrome ring has 4 tabs on the back, lift each one up just a touch and give a little bit of pressure and they will release.

Also made a box to put some softener salt in. The salt will remain in the bags. I'll put the salt in when/if it ever decides to snow.



I made this fairly quickly and crudely. This spring I will be doing a bed liner in the truck and make a new box then for next winter.
