Detailing in Oklahoma...

Here are a few photos of my truck, which I bought used this January. It's a 2004 Screw 4x4 with 57k. I started out at the car wash removing all of the heavy dirt and crud, followed by hand wash with Megs Deep Crystal car wash. After the neighbors about had a heartattack from laughter with me drying the car with a leaf blower, I used Megs clay bar on the entire truck, top to bottom. This was followed with Megs Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner, then a light wipe with Megs QD, then a coat of Megs Deep Crystal Polish, and another wipe down of QD. About 5 hours after I started this process, I was to the point to apply the NXT 2.0, and then one more QD before pics... Tell me what you think...

Looks good, your work paid off.

Why did you dry it with a leaf blower?

How did you like NXT 2.0? I was just thinking I need to do my moms new Edge next weekend when Im home and still have a bottle of NXT orig. but might take that back here for my truck and get her a 2.0. I loved the old stuff and if its nearly as good, ited be worth it for sure.

Truck looks great, the tire detailer is very nice. Need to get mine done tomo after work since I detailed her today.

In the other photos they look done but this one looks cleaned but not dressed.

BTW very nice job on the detail

Looks great, man!!!

I was going to ask about wheel wells, but JP beat me to it.

I would add some trim shine or HD to those step-rail end caps...

I love red... Like a fire truck...

RollingRock.... I didn't do anything to the wheel wells, I need to order some HD, but I gotta wait a while to get some of that. Thanks for all of the compliments though guys.

Madcat- I like the 2.0, I was skeptical at first after last weeks endeavor with the Wife's Fusion, but I think the humidity in the air last week killed it... this week was pretty easy to use...

BTW, to all thinking about detailing your SCREW... eat your Wheaties, these trucks are BEASTS! Lots of truck there!!

I gotta get my front cowl pulled off asap and painted to shine her up. My bed rails are fine but the front is so faded... SUnday is the day for that.

Looks great, and yes these Screws are BEASTS. I can only imagine a 250+
