And she is clean (pictures)

So I took 6+ hrs today and cleaned the truck.
I did:
-Wash with dish detergent
-Clay
-Scratch X on needed areas
-Meguires Paint Cleaner
-NXT
-Meguires Carnuba

Thats on top of all the other regular stuff (ie: underbody, tires, rain-x windows, yadda, yadda)

The Scratch X took out pretty much all of the swirls and scratches, however, being up close and personal with the truck allowed me to find 2 small scratches that are pretty deep. They are in hard to see spaces, so oh well.

And now here are the pictures, lemme know what you think.

What I started with:


And now clean:

Seriously, though, you did a great job. Good system you have there, good results. Sorry to hear abou the scratches, but we all have them (at least I do...)

I got the majority with the Scratch X. That stuff is a PITA to wipe off though. There were 2 or 3 spots though that really needed some attention. Nothing major, but Im OCD about the looks of my truck.

Thanks for the compliments.

Nice job. I like the reflection of the water in your paint.

Very nice! Cocoa Beach is one of my favorite places. Sun/beach envy coming from midwest.

Sleepy Max - Sorry, I dont follow you on your question about the mirrors.

Thanks for the compliments. It was great driving into work this morning and having the cleanest / best looking truck.
