Talking Detailaholics Anonymous

My name is Adam and I am a Detailaholic.

It's been a few weeks since my last detail but today I found myself in a dangerous place. Wal-Mart.
I only went in for some beer but suddenly found myself in the Auto Section.
There they were, all those detailing supplies just staring back at me and I could hear them calling me. "Use me, Use me".
So, 100 bucks or so lighter, I found myself heading back to HQ loaded down with enough Meguiars and Micro-fibre towels to sink a small ship.
Hours later and it's done. I couldn't help myself. I had used them all.
Here's the results of my actions.

But this is America 2005. I've seen Oprah and Montel.
I'm not to blame. I'm a victim.










Personally, I blame RockPick.

Put down the microfiber towel and slowly back away from the NXT with your hands in the air.

The truck looks awesome!

Thanks FL. It took me 3 hours doing the 3 step process with NXT as the final coat, all by hand.

Tomorrow, the interior. I'll post some pics of the leather in the evening again.

Thanks everyone.

That NXT is amazing. This is the first time I've used it and I am totaly sold on the product.
Go back and check that last picture of the hood with that reflection. I'ts like a mirror and pics don't do it justice.
I hope the interior turns out as well.
