This one was handed to me by my girlfriend She said I want to give my friend a wash and wax for her birthday..... I said good, tell her to bring it on over. I haven't detailed anything in over month, due to time restraints and my other job.
Sorry upfront for no befores as to my camera will only operate on KODAK batteries, don't ask cause I don't know! So after I was done I went to Wal-mart and got some new re-chargeables for it.
First inspection found vertical wool burn marks from Carmax they place she purchased the truck from. They were everywhere!!!! Also I found out she had been keeping the inside clean but with Georgia water restrictions the vehicle can't be washed at home or your in for a ticket...yada...yada...yada...
Long story short 6 months no wash... And I'm doing a free paint correction

LSP
Malco Aquawax was applied after quick water rinse to remove polishing dust.
Tires

DP Gloss tire gel via AG applicator
Trim
Tried something different, layered all black plastic with NXT 2.0 with yellow applicator and removed with MF
Wheels
Cleaned with Meg's Wheel Brightner (5*) - Thanks to Bradley I'm sticking with this as my goto wheel cleaner!
Lightly coated the wheels with Malco's Aquawax via MF and hand.
Glass
Cleaned with the best Surf City and my own waffle-weave towels.
I didn't coat the fenderwells like I always do, because we had some high winds and I didn't fell like doing it by hand. The paint made up for that!!!
