i use towel then a chamois, that works alright. i bought the truck second hand and it doesnt look like it was takin very good care of. i think it really just needs a new paint job.

 

Claybar -> swirl cutter applied with a buffer -> polish applied with a buffer -> wax applied by hand or buffer

Porter Cable buffers are about $150-$175 for the kit with pads and a velcro backing plate. Very good investment if you wanna keep your paint looking good.

 

Go to www.adamspolishes.com - you can use all of his products in direct sunlight, and they work great

 

I use an Absorber to dry my truck. I have really hard water so I use a clay bar, Mequiar's fine cut cleaner, and sometimes 3M perfect it glaze or rubbing compound to get the spots off. Then I go back with Mequiar's cleaner wax then some Gold Class.

 

on my show truck i used mr clean, It was a black truck with ghost flames, and it never left ONE SPOT AT ALL!!! I 'll swear by this stuff. Use it you wont be disappointed

Mr. Clean auto dry system. Rinse it VERY well with the filtered AutoDry feature and no spots. Personally, I don't know how I did it without it.

 

that thing really works? im amazed!

 

just use a leaf blower to get rid of the water. Everyone will think you're crazy but it works awesome and the water can't hide in the nooks

 

I am always a critic on crap like that but it works great. You have to use their soap though.

 

i thought i was the only one that uses a leaf blower. first i blow off most of the water and the use a towel. works great
