Talking CLEAN TRUCK!!!! Pic Heavy

Well this weekend I got bored so after adding:
Code Alarm SRT9000 Remote start/Alarm
Avic D3
Roush Grill
and Power Tailgate

I decided my truck needed some TLC. I pulled out my newly aquired flex and proceeded with the detail.

1) Washed with gold class
2) Clayed
3) Washed again with gold class
4) SSR2 only on spots
5) SSR1 whole truck
6) White Diamond (I know its for lighter vehicles but wanted to try it)
7) EX-P sealant
8) 2 coats of NXT 2.0 with 12 hour cure time
9) Followed up with Megs 16 this morning
10) Hyperdressing

Over all I am very very pleased with the outcome. My truck is a daily driver and the paint is not flawless but I did manage to get a ton of the imperfections out. I will say if you are undecided on ordering the flex DO IT! I abosolutely love that thing. I dont know how I got by with out it.

Emblem off... No need to represent anything... Most idiots will recognize that your truck is a ford.

Truck looks amazing man. This paint looks very nice when done up.

I vote for emblem on, looks much nicer and much for professional for the truck.

Emblem on... it helps break up the numerous horizontal lines and gives it some depth. Otherwise it looks a little bare.
