I don't have that kind of time and money right now, but my truck always looks and is immaculate. I started off with Ice, and it works well. I recommend using it and then within 1 month using it again to seal it up to gain a little more protection. Are there better products, heck yes, but I do not have hundreds of dollars to get them. However, what I do use now is Mothers step 1 paste, step 2 liquid, and meg's step 3 (however soon I will be replacing step 3 for Meg's NXT to use as my LSP). I like it better and I think the protection is superior to the Turtle Wax Ice. And all three steps are only a few dollars more than the one thing of Ice. I suggest to curb your curiosity, try it. That's the only way to learn and I encourage that. I do believe that as you experiement with various products you willl find ones that you like better and utilize them in a way that gives you great results. Now, I use Ice for my mirrors and trim as it can be applied to plastic with no white residue, which I think is one of the best features of it, and I will continue to use it for that. One note of advice though, NO ONE get The liquid claybar. I bought it to use on my truck when I frst got it, I scrubbed and it worked, but no where near as well as the Mother's Claybar I now use. Best of Luck and hope that helps any  |
Yeah I'm not the OCD type either, but I like my truck to look good. My old truck always looked like ***** cuz I never took the time to clean it. Now that I got my new truck I want it to look as good as it can, while being reasonable. I plan on getting it detailed in the near future to get some of the swirls and streaks in the paint, and also to get a deep clean to the interior. But I figured I'd give this Black Box a go and see how it looked, and hopefully protect the paint a bit and keep it clean looking til I can afford to get it detailed.
And by the way, your truck looks good. Simple and clean. And you got your exhaust done by Lou's in Brockton? How'd they do? I've heard a lot of good things. I got mine done by Accurate Automotive down in Hyde Park, right down the street from where I work. Awesome job. $650 installed; all stainless pipes, 18" Magnaflow muffler, 3" slashed/rolled tips, heavy duty hangars, the whole shebang-a-bang.
