Re: Truck is CLEAN!!

I'm going to run right out and wax and buff my rattle can and hope for results like that. Damn I miss my real paint.

I didn't wax the front end because meh, didn't want to and the valence is rattle canned anyways.

I know the lights are in wrong, but they are perfectly aligned on the road in the night.

I used just a normal car wash with Dupont teflon rim cleaner then waxed it with Eagle One Nanowax paste and turtle wax platinum no spinoff tire shine.

does this stuff actually not spin off, or does it just say so? I tried the armor all Extreme shine tire gel, and it works great as for looks and shine, but it still slings on the sides of my truck, luckily my sideskirts kind of act as a mudguard and keep it from getting on my doors and such....

I apply mine before/during waxing so it has some time to "soak in."

But it doesn't fling off or attract a ton of dirt or dust.

How did the can work out for you? I did mine with a can (flat color) and it looks like crap after this winter. Salt and everything really for to it. I was thinking of redoing mine a glossy black like yours is (my truck is indigo). Does your have any pits in it from little stones?

Just waxed mine yesterday too. Came out looking like yours...totally sweet. Too bad it will probably be all dirty in a week or so. Even cleaned my under body and engine with some heavy duty cleaner to get all that salt from the winter off of it.

Re: Truck is CLEAN!!

I was always told not to wax my truck in the sun. But im not sure if that info is correct. But truck looks good man.

Just makes it harder to get the wax off and you get TONS of swirls if it is too hot. They tell you not to wax in a summer day sun because the wax melts too quickly (before you get a chance to wipe it off). Waxed my indigo in the sun the other day without a problem
