My Titan got a little tlc. Comments and critique welcome.

Right now getting my feet wet on all the products out there.
Wheels get a degreaser and 2 coats of wax. Meg nxt
Engine bay I prep with wd40 (Heard its great on jetski's for the protecting everything in engine bay) I agitate as necassary. Finish with a dressing off the shelf brand for now.

Truck gets cleaner wax and nxt. no claybar as yet.

Are you busy next weekend and do you make house calls? You did a nice job on both the wheels and the engine bay.
 
Nice to people keeping their wheels and engine bay clean. I'm always pulling my wheels off to clean the wheels, painted calipers and wheel wells. I always keeps my engine bays clean.
 
Wd-40 on the engine worries me .... it is not meant to dry, its a lubrication and pentration product.

duly noted and appreciate all input.

will revisit in 2 to 3 weeks to see how dirty. I normally don't pressure wash my supra's bay ( 1. sudsy soap 2. light rinse 3. blow dry) was experimenting here after hearing about the guys with their jetski's. I ended up hitting the Titan's bay with pressure washer then blow drying. (this removed alot of excess)

I've yet to make my first order as a little overwhelmed with all the different products. 303 and black wow are on my list. I have the over the counter stuff with uv protection.
