Guys, sorry to go off topic, but I can't see these pics. I'm using an old Chrome browser on an ancient (not supported) laptop running Redhat.
The images are from tapatalk, do I need an account there to be able to see the pics?
Thanks,
AJ
Thanks, I'll just give the TSR (yet another acronym on this site! I've never seen a site with so many acronyms!). I had to research before I realized that TSR was the WG Swirl Remover that I ALREADY HAVE and mentioned in my post! I'm just getting used to WGDGPS, AIO, WOWO, LSP ... Holy...
Thanks in advance,
I'll be doing a exterior detail on my daughters 2014 focus in about a month.
I'm a newbie w/re DA polishing (I am very handy with all other sorts of tools, woodworking, metal work ...)
I initially planned on just doing a swirl removal, so bought the Wolfgang Swirl removal...
Dayton eh? Hey that's only 4+ hours from here! Get that shop built!!!! haha
BTW: nice trucks, my last truck was a F250 PowerStroke, I only put 240k+ miles on it before I decided it was time for a new one!
Thanks,
AJ
Update:
I washed again today (to remove any claying residue from yesterday). Then prepped the paint with WG Perfekt paint cleaner. Then sealed it with WGDGPS.
I feel a bit like the Karate Kid!
I then wiped all the plastic trim with WG Trim protectant.
Looks like cold weather tomorrow and...
I did the 'baggie' test today and it felt pretty bad. So I picked up some Maguires clay/lube and clayed my truck.
It is a lot smoother now. I 'think' it looks better, but it may just be my way of convincing myself I'm not wasting time ! haha
The clay did pick stuff from the surface, it had a...
Thanks, I was going about as fast as I could. Carrying all the rinse water from inside.
It's a 1 ton. I have a Power Washer, but this truck will rarely get its feet off the pavement, so will just use a Foam Gun.
I'll be installing a hose bib with soft water. My other hose bibs are all...
Nice. It's great that you can keep it garaged.
Is it a Cummins? What size camper do you pull?
I just got a 3500 Cummins/aisin/air level rear suspension this year to pull our 31' 5th wheel.

Hi Brandon, East of Flint here.
I'm new to detailing and new to the forum, looks like you've been on the forum for a couple years.
Good luck with your business!

Hey guys,
Temperature was a sweltering 45F today, so i decided I had to wash the truck.
I picked it up on December 21st and it now has just under 2000 miles on it.
I took it to the self wash and sprayed off the heavy grime.
Then I washed it (2BM with WG Auto Bath), rinsed, Iron-X'd it...
Excellent idea.
Not to add to your efforts, maybe keep a small diary of the weather (rain,snow,salt ...) that the vehicle sees during the test.
If there is a difference, it could be due to some environmental factor that a duplicate test elsewhere (different season, temperature ...) would not...
Welcome, there is a TON of information here. So just use 3/4 of it with that little F250! haha
I found the forum in the same way after buying a 2017 Ram/Cummins 3500, I don't have to stop at 3/4 ton!

I have Thiel fronts (nice but pricey, overkill for an echo).
I second the DT, I have a pair of their outdoor AW6500's that are impressive. I use them for my second zone (sun room/bar) most of the time. But once or twice/year I take them outdoors and use them for an outdoor movie night with...
Jeremy,
I'm new to the forum, but not new to life haha.
Just know that our prayers are coming your way.
Also, work hard to focus on the good things and it will help, live in the moment and not in the past.
All good thoughts coming your way!
AJ
I just went through the same decision processes. I haven't received all my stuff yet!
I settled on (for a start) Wolfgang products for paint/trim/tires. Mckees for Glass, Wolfsteins for vinly (tonneau cover) + Iron-x + PorterCable DA + Lake County CCS pads + micro-fiber and applicators.
I...
