Thumbs up Black and Blue and ready for spring

With the nice mild weather that we are having I finally got the chance to give the L a good cleaning. I spent about six hours on the exterior finish, first washing and drying the truck. Then I applied Mother's California Gold Sealer and Glaze followed by an application of Eagle One Wet wax. It really hid the swirl marks well and gave it a real nice deep wet finish. Definitely going to stick with this combo for the next few waxes.
As an added bonus, my buddy with the Z06 dropped by which made for a nice photo opp. Lots of horsepower in the driveway today. Gotta luv it.

Along with the links grinomyte supplied to you, may I suggest that you check out a couple of HD forums and maybe an HD owner might want to swap lights with you.

The tips I have are the JDM Silver Bullet stainless steel tips so they are quite easy to keep clean and shiney. I always clean them up with chrome or mag polish every time I wash the truck,which is twice weekly during the summertime anyway. Darn Black. Hehe!

Owned , yet again eh!!
Those are the pipes. Thats it, I'm crawling underneath the truck and I'm gonna shine them pipes up too.
Actually grinomyte the outside of the tips are always that clean, now the inside is a different story, but I wash the truck so much that just a wipe with a wet sponge on the inside at wash time takes care of the black residue.

Thanks to all for the kind remarks.

What do you polish your tips with, I have polished mine with mothers, and they look good, but nothing in comparison to them.
