Washed & Waxed

I put in some time on my truck and my wife's car today. Standard wash and wax using Meguiar's Car Wash and Meguiar's NXT. I know the pics aren't the best, but I was in a hurry.

What do you use? I don't want something that is going to fly all over the body when I'm driving.

I'll get on it. These pictures are really bad, they don't do the work any justice. I'll finish it off with some tire dressing and take some better pics in a day or two.

Not that I think any of you are dying to stare at the side of my truck. I just like to show off many hours of elbow grease!

Thanks for the recommendations!

My wife rolls her eyes when I head out with my buckes of supplies.

I find if I do a quickie on her car it makes my time with my truck more bearable for her.

Nice Job

I'm in Metuchen, Middlesex County. I'd guess about 100 miles north of you. And I'm on my way to the store after work today to pick up some tire dressing. Pics to follow.

It's funny, before you guys pointed it out, I thought it looked fine. Afterwards though, I don't know how I missed it!

Meg.'s Endurance Gel and Eagle One Tire Swipes. Lightly blot off excess about an hour after applying to prevent slinging. While toweling, choose the shine you want by removing the desired amount. (ie: lotsa' shine, just blot lightly, for deep rich look w/o shine-- either blot more or wipe carefully. Just don't get it onto the rims.)

Have fun and good luck.

Big difference imo.
