Default Clean after a year of abuse

Had Matt: escalaradoon22s do a full detail on the ol truck. It had been very abused for about a year without any wax period, maybe three washes and sat with a busted tranny for 6 months under two pine trees dripping sap all over it.
The paint looks good as new now.
I think he did a really nice job. Here's some pics i took of it. Gonna get him to do my rcsb next weekend.:shake:

It's neither actually. It looks black in some lights and the color turns greenish in others i guess from the flake but it's actually a Dark Metallic Grey.

Here's a dirty pic lol bought 10 months ago but you can see the real color a little better i guess.....i think the detail just made the color POP so much in pics it's hard to tell the actual color now lol.

Yeah man it looks great. Guess i'm gonna have to pick up a new duster cause i can't find mine.
Unless you recommened something else to use?
Not sure what you were using when you wipped it down and the spray in the bottle?
Should i do something like that or just get a duster? or maybe one of the new microfiber dusters?
