Detailed the truck... [PICS]

Yeah, I know it's not the truck, but believe you me, this thing needed it a lot more than what my truck does.

It was sunny and about 70-degrees when I started and clouded over significantly - as you can see - by the time I finished and snapped the pics below.

Here's what I used [in no particular order] -

Meguiar's® Gold Class™ Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
Meguiar's® Supreme Shine® Microfiber Towels
Meguiar's® NXT Generation™ Tech Wax 2.0™
Meguiar's® Gold Class™ Bug & Tar Remover
HUSKY® Q30 Quite Series Air Compressor
Turtle Wax® Micro-Fiber Tire Applicators
Meguiar's® Hot Rims® All Wheel Cleaner
Meguiar's® All Season Tire Dressing
Stoners® Invisible Glass

Oh, and, black's a biatch to clean!!!

Nice- The outcome was very good! Also, is that just the leveling kit and some 35" on the 150? Great stance!!

If it's black, don't even think about driving near my house!

I do love a clean black. Wouldn't own one that ever saw rain though.

Love the 150.

Yes it does.... and it's a lot more evident up-close and personal.

But you know what? I don't really care because it's my daily driver.

Also, past experiences have taught me that black can be a down-right PITA to get looking right. Yes, it can be done, but it takes a lot of time, elbow-grease and patience. I struggle [often] with the first part. Them's the breaks...

Yeah, it's only about six months old. If you had of seen it prior, you would never think so.

I try to look after it, however, in saying that, I don't lose [any] sleep over little dings, scrathes and whatnot. Nature of the beast...

No it's my daily driver. You can see the wife's CRV [reflection] in the forth pic down.

I do clean her car too... I do get the "appropriate compensation" you speak of, however, is it really enough for us guys?

It's not great, but it's a lot better than I expected [Toyo MT's]

I'll answer in a little more length later this evening.
