Calm down, it's been a busy week lol. Hopefully I'll get to my truck this weekend, if not then next weekend.

[RhinoZ24]

Here's the before pictures. This is what happens after a California "Rainstorm" lol.

[RhinoZ24]

The products I used, I didn't do a regular waxing, just the spray on and wipe off quick wax job.

[RhinoZ24]

And these are the after pictures, much better lol. I think I had a better improvement from dirty to clean DJ lol. Your truck is never dirty anyways haha.

[RhinoZ24]

I just went to the dog wash. Ain't nobody got time for hand washing with a garden hose. That's city/California boy stuff.

And Mason, here is my reponse to your California boy comment lmao.

[masonic]

Nice job buddy, I'm just jealous because I don't get that weather you have.

[BFEB]

Tires need a little attention tho lol

[RhinoZ24]

Nice job buddy, I'm just jealous because I don't get that weather you have.

I never shine them lol. I will next time though, gotta get some bleach white for the lettering then I'll shine the tires.

----------

And thanks!

[Jersey_Joe]

Looks good. Great job. But get urself a hard brush and some westlys bleach white fer them white walls kid lol

[RhinoZ24]

I don't think any amount of bleach will save them lol. It's mostly rubbed off from when they sat for 5-6 years haha. But I'll give it a shot when I do the full detail and wax job in the middle of the summer.

----------

Also thanks lol

[masonic]

Haha thanks, and yeah it's the only good thing left in California, well most of the time lol.

[Jersey_Joe]

Sweet. I was gonna say. Damn that sucks. I guess I'm jealous. I bought a snow blower 2 years ago and the longest run it has had was bringin it in and out of the shed. Lol.

Just finished tonight.

Looks great man!

[newmarket23]

Thank you. I'd like to clay bar it soon, but I also wanna try a product called black box made by turtle wax I think. It's a pre wax and wax made specifically for black vehicles.

----------

My wax of choice though is tech wax 2.0.

[BFEB]

Sweet. I was gonna say. Damn that sucks. I guess I'm jealous. I bought a snow blower 2 years ago and the longest run it has had was bringin it in and out of the shed. Lol.

U can just ship that unit my way since its snowing here again. Doesn't Mother Nature know its f'n May?

[RhinoZ24]

Apparently no, we've gone from cold to warm to a day of cold, to hot (today and tomorrow being over 90) and then on Sunday and Monday it's supposed to be in the 60's and raining. I know why it's called mother nature now, cause its indecisiveness is just like a woman lol.

[Jersey_Joe]

R u serious. Tell the bitch she's too late. Come back next year. Lol

[RhinoZ24]

Lmao
