I think the interior looks HORRIBLE. I do, however, LOVE the mats!

Looks great, man. Nice reflections. Did you hand wax or use a rotary?

come on... your truck is really new, cant be that hard to get good results like that.

Us light paint colors have a harder time to get reflections to show up.
Good work tho.

He elected to do it by hand (why, I'm not real sure... LOL!). I know he has some mechanical way to do it... especially after his wet sanding post from last year.

I have a pc and a high speed rotary, but the high temp here yesterday was 68 with no sun, so I just did it by hand and took in the nice day. Plus the damn thing won't fit in my garage.

My garage has been taken over, so I have to wax outside, unfortunately, usually at noon on SAT. in the sun... If I'm lucky, I'll get the shade from the trees in the yard...

I need a worklight so I can wax at night!!!


As said before, though...great results on the truck. I've never seen a truer and purer white, much less a reflection in white...Good job.
