Detailed My Work Truck.......
I was finishing up the Saleen and T-Bird today and had an hour...well, an hour and a half! I had to wait for the customer to come since she wanted me to do her Towncar. So, I gave my truck a quick bath in Pinnacle's Bodywork Shampoo and stripped the tires down with some ZEP Citrus Degreaser. This is really good stuff. I cut it 4:1 and cannot tell any difference from full strength. Works hard but without harsh smell or chemicals. It will be replacing Purple Power in my regimen. Next, I used the Cyclo and EDGE Green Pads with XMT's 360 to clean up my truck's paint. This was not an attempt to remove all the swirls. My truck has them and always will. If I have hours to work on my own, I need to be cultivating more business! 360 cleaned up the surface and layed down a nice layer of "sealant" protection. Looked good. I could have stopped. One thing, I've never seen Souveran Paste on yellow! I broke it out and went to town. I love the look it gave. WET! I even gave the wheels a coating. So easy to use and remove. Last, the tires got some of Pinnacle's Black Onyx Tire Gel.
Here's some pics.....

To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.
