I finished detailing my new truck yesterday. Before this forum I thought going through a car wash was detailing . Yesterday I had to have it washed (Water restrictions where I live) at a car wash. Then I:
1. clayed it, (Maguiers)
2. Maguiers Step 2 Polish
3. NXT wax

I absolutely love the results, I want to thank all the people in this forum that supply such good info.

Here are some pictures. (Sorry they are with a camera phone)

 

looks sharp. I love that color. who still has a water restriction?

 

Fulton County (Atlanta) Georgia. Only hand watering of grass once a week

 

Looks great. Since you have water restrictions ever thing of using Optimum No Rinse car wash?

 

Ahh, I remember those days. I used to live in Jonesboro (clayton co.) and every summer there was a water restriction. Darn hotlanta!!!

 

LOL Gators
I use to live in Cordova, also some hot summers

 

Haha, we've flip flopped cities

 

Nice job...BTW we have the same barber....LOL

 

LOL
At least he does not charge much

 

how did you clay your truck? i'v heard the term and seen the product, but how do you apply it? how thick does it go on?

thanks

 

Ed, have you read the detailing sticky yet? You don't "apply" it, you use it. It's a hunk of clay that you rub the paint with.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks RockPick

Ed I learned alot from the Sticky in this forum. Also learned from doing some searches on this forum. I had never heard of clay until I started coming to this forum.

I am the last person to give advice I am an absolute novice. But for what it is worth, after you read the sticky and do a search, the clay is available at Wally World (Meguiers). Very easy to use, though time consuming.
