Truck looks amazing. I would do that if wasnt raining so much here right now.
Quick question, how long does that look last after say.. a week of daily driving in rain mud dirt roads etc?
Im curious to see if a nice job like that would be worth it to me.
Will dirt/mud/ crap rinse right off and produce the same detailed effect with a normal wash?

A properly finished car with good products will allow all of that stuff to rinse right off. Youll notice a huge difference when washing your car after detailing compared to washing it with no protection on there. For your car Id also pick up some Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay or Sonus green clay. These are mild clays which are said to not remove wax. So this will get rid of anything that a washing wont. Then you might consider getting some Pinnacle Souveran spray wax to maintain your finish. Just use the spray wax after each wash.

I particularly like the fact that you had the same lights on for before/after shots-- really makes the work more appreciable when you can prove that it's not trick photography. Keep it up!!!

a couple of questions about the XMT:
How do you like it? I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
Any micromarring issues when using it with an orange Edge?

The key to working with the XMT 360 is to go very slow, keep the pad level, and work it in until its gone.
