Oh yeah, I have the full gamut of products, just trying to keep it clean and scratch is a job in itself. I clayed and sealed it last night, came out this moring and it was dusty and water spotted Not happy to say the least.

Thank you sir, as I am quickly learning, the gas mileage of a truck and a small gas tank don't work well together.

Thats sick man! Seriously beautiful car....what are your plans for mods? 9.5" lower pulley and LS9 cam swap would be an easy 550hp+ to the tire and make a nasty daily

Other than an exhaust system, don't really have any plans for it, it is such an animal as is and I can already get into too much trouble with it. Depending on how long I keep it, I might do somethings but, as of now, I just want it to sound better.

I wish I had better photos but the black paint on the car was trashed. The previous detailer did some work, but left some buffer trails and swirls. it looks like the previous owner parked next to a bush every day on the passenger side. So on friday it took me 11-12 hours to buff it all out. There were a ton of RDS and swirls. The paint is extremely hard and it too allot of pressure.

there are a few places I need to touch up. for instance in the last photo there is a little micro-marring I need to remove. Ignore the clear bra line in the first 2 photos.

Edit: Got up this morning and got some photos of the whole car. The problem was we drove to my In-laws in saturday morning who live out in the county and you will notice some dust from the dirt roads.

I am amazed at how many people stopped in front of my house to comment on it while I was washing it today
