Default My Truck: Cleaned - Glazed - Waxed

I've been crazy short on time lately so I kind of broke the cleanup of the truck up over a few days.

Saturday Night:
  • Vacuum'd the interior our using the Vac N' Blo 500
  • Pulled the matts, cleaned carpets using Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and Carpet Brush
  • Cleaned the seats using light Misting of Carepet & Upholstery Cleaner and Edgeless Utility Towel
  • Cleaned the rest of the Interior w/ Leather & Interior Cleaner then dressed with Leather & Interior Conditioner on the Red Foam App
  • Glass All Cleaned with Glass Cleaner and the NEW Green Glass Towel

Sunday Morning:
  • Wheels Cleaned w/ APC and Green Wheel Cleaner
  • Boars Hair Brush, Power-stick, and Fender Brush
  • Quick Wash w/ Adam's Car Wash, 2 Buckets Grit Guards, & Foam Gun
  • Dried with Great White Drying Towel and Waterless Wash as Drying Agent
  • Went back and blew out trim and crevices with Blaster Sidekick
  • Clayed and Sealed Glass
  • Tires and trim Dress w/ Super VRT and various apps.

Monday Afternoon:
  • Full Waterless Wash wipe down w/ 8 Waterless Towels
  • Brilliant Glaze applied with the PC and gray pad
  • Removed with Single Soft Towels
  • Hand Applied a coat of Americana
  • Removed with Double Soft Towel

Paints far from flawless as I still need to do a full correction on it for the season, but I'm hesitant to do so before I get the paint fixed on the drivers door. Anyways... had a couple of minutes to kill while waiting for Tanner to get out of preschool, so snapped some shots. Enjoy the pictures!

I'll probably eventually just buy the EXT plastics to be honest... I've seen smoothed and painted Av plastics and they never look right. Problem is the caddy ext plastics cost MAJOR $$$$

Hmm, just wondering, you're the expert on this stuff... What's the best method for cleaning the inside of the windshield? No matter what material or what I use to clean it it streaks or spots or whatever

regardless... to your work
