Re: what do you use to wash your truck
When I wash it normally I roll up to the local do it yourself wash and clean it that way.
When I do a full detail I use: -Blue coral car soap -soft bristle brush -Water blade to dry (most of it) -shop vac to suck the water out of cracks and stuff -Claybar -Black magic wax -Nu finish polish -Chrome polish for the grill Takes about 4-5 hours to do all that. But it looks damn good after wards.  After the 1st s10 forum meet. Thats my truck after a 4 hour detail. Last edited by TubbD : 02-27-2008 at 12:17 PM. |

Re: what do you use to wash your truck
dish soap takes all the wax and grease off. it's good to use right before a full detail. i would use dishsoap, then claybar, then wax. but for a normal wash, just regular car wash soap |

Re: what do you use to wash your truck
Yeah works pretty well for me. I don't use the water ionizer or whatever it is, just plain old towels.

Re: what do you use to wash your truck
I get insane deals on the chemicals we use at work. So for a full detail:
Ardex Hyperwash Ardex blue rush all purpose Ardex Tire Shine...cant remember name off the top of my head Ardex Spot Shine for clay lube 3m perfect it clay Ardex Solvent...although it never touches my truck because it smears so damn bad unless using a brand new micro fiber Ardex Pearl Compound Ardex Viper Wax Ardex Window Spray Ardex Detail Spray Ardex A-Foam carpet & upholstry and probably a few others im forgetting. I detail cars for a living, or what money i need being im 18 years old and a senior in highschool Last edited by rmeitz167 : 03-07-2008 at 05:03 PM. |

Re: what do you use to wash your truck
People say it's bad because it takes off the wax, which is what you want before a detail. Never used a claybar.. Buffer with 3M compound though. |
