My arm is tired now
Well i got done washing and detailing my truck today.
Started around 11:45 washed and dried it
drove to friends house around 1:00 to wax
finished waxing around 3:00
quick bite to eat, then did a top coat of polish.
and finished around 5:30
borrowed friends camera, and took some pics
And a big thanks to etrevino103186 for letting me use your carport, and camera!!

Look real good. I think that's where I'm also going to put my F150 decal to. btw, I still need to take some pictures of my truck for you to help me with a new sig. Sorry I haven't got the to you yet. If you don't mind give me another week and I'll have some taken.

I used purple passion soap (even tho its pink~someone explain that)
And dont hurt me but only used a single bucket
No clay used this go around.
Single coat
Premium Turtle wax (caranuba in the dark green tub)
Single coat
Nu Finish polish
And it had been about 6-7 months since my last go around, and water pretty much stopped beading and running so i knew it was time.
I had absolutley gorgeous weather all day, was sunny during the wash, about 65* and decent breeze.
Then went over to my friends house with the carport for the wax, and enjoyed the rest of my afternoon in the shade. What a difference the shade makes. Then went to the second floor parking garage for some pictures.
Makes me feel good when RP says it looks good, and i know he's sincere

If you want to drive all the way to texas, i would do it for free. Problem is it would get dirty just going back
And i was noticing today that i have an orange peel look to the paint itself. The wax smoothed things over, but the paint looks wavy. Will clay help this out? or am i just SOL with crappy paint?
