Thumbs up Used #7 and #26 for the first time

I stopped by and brought some Meguiars #7 and #26 and washed and waxed my truck. I done the dawn washing and then washed with regular car wash. Then I used the #7 and finished up with the #26. I needed a clay bar but didn't have one and didn't buy one either. Since I live on a dirt road, and I park by a small oak tree there were alot of little specks on it that I had to really work hard to get off. I still didn't get all of them off, but it looks WAY better than it did. Now my truck feels like silk it is so smooth.

I got pics but haven't got them in my gallery yet, hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning I will get that done. I took a couple of pics that you could see my neighbors house approximately 100 yards away. I'll get them up as soon as I can. My truck looks clean now

That #26 really makes it shine. I'm awaiting to pay all my bills at the end of the month, and see if I have enough left to afford a bottle of NXT. $14.99 a bottle! I'm going to have to split that up into monthly payments! lol.

Looks great! As a suggestion, for those hard to get off sap spots, you should give a clay bar a try. Mind you, this should be your first step after washing so, if you do elect to try it out, you may need to start back over...

If I were you, I'd wait until it's time to do it again and then give it a whirl!

I've used a clay bar before on my truck. Its just that the only piece I had left had been dropped and I wasn't about to use it on my truck. I got most of them off, but there are still a few left here and there.

Lets just say that even though it may not be perfect right now, it still looks 100% better than it did before I even started.
