Hopefully, I will finally get to clean up my truck. It's filthy.

Went to the DIY car wash to powerwash the salt off, I wish I video taped it coming out. The truck was steaming for a minute then froze into sheets of ice on the truck. It was quite neat to watch

I tried that once when it was -10.....I got frozen in the truck until the garage heater thawed it out.....lesson learned is to wipe the door weather striping and jambs before leaving the car wash.....

Also what pad do I use to apply wax? Sort of embarrassed to ask in the detailing section. Those guys are all high and mighty gurus.

I know most of the detailing guys come across as such but someone will come along and be happy to help.

Any reason you picked the 4" pads instead of the 6.5"? I'd hate to see how long it takes to polish and wax our truck with a 4".

The 6.5" took long enough.

As far as LC pads you'd probably use the blue or black pads.

I ordered my stuff from http://www.autodetailingsolutions.net/
I think I'm gonna upgrade to the Flex polisher so I can go faster and have the ability to take out bigger imperfections compared to my G110.

You may want to check Detailers Domain and Adams as they're giving some discounts to us now.

Haven't washed mine in months. With all the rain and snow and weeks of not getting out of the 30's I couldn't do it. :o

Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 40's, so I have to wash the truck.
