First Wash and Detail... Meguiars Products

Okay so today was beautiful out and I decided it was a good day to wash the truck... Products used were all Meguiars... wash, brushes, and towels...

The holes on the fenders are from me taking them off so that I can get them painted, along with the mirrors...

I also removed the Fx4 stickers on the truck...

There are a total of three posts... so wait for the pics...

You can paint the stock handles. Just prep them right and lay down enough paint. They will be smooth and glossy. Be sure to explain what you want the finished product to look like when you take them to the guy.

Do you mean the 3 step process? You've gotta do all 3 of the steps. The cleaner wax isn't a wax...taught my friend that the other day.
