Spent the weekend doing a clean... I'm new to this forum and new to detailing beyond the basic over the counter washing products and techniques, but trying to learn. Here's what I did:
Wash and dry, two bucket method
Tar-X and Iron-X followed by a rinse. Vehicle didn't show too much metal or tar contamination in paint and is still basically new, but I did this just in case.
Pinnacle Clay Bar (clayed everything, including windows and chrome bits)
Klasse AIO Cleaner Sealant (applied on all paint and chrome/trim)
Meguiars Window Cleaner
Adams VRT on tires and rubber bits
Used chemical guys wash mitts, microfiber towels, and microfiber applicators
Didn't have time to hit it with the Klasse Sealant Glaze. Will probably apply it in a week or two; I think I can just apply it after doing a normal wash and dry if the paint isn't too contaminated with dirt. I was pretty impressed with just the AIO.
The hardest part was being unable to work in the shade or in a garage due to the vehicle's size. I had to do smaller portions and work more quickly with applying and removing certain products to avoid the sun drying out the clay lubricant and Klasse.
I really like how the Klasse AIO worked. Unfortunately, it already rained some (once again, can't fit this in a garage!), but the rain left no water spots and simply beaded off the truck, so it seems to be working correctly. I also liked he Adams VRT; it gave the rubber and plastic bits a clean like-new look that wasn't overly glossy or artificial.
...and the results:
And some fun...
