Who on here is a clean freak like I am?? I really dislike going to the auto car washes, and dont like foreign people driving my truck with dirty pants and tire shine filled towells half hanging out into a car wash congo line only to be wiped down with dirty shop towells, and tire shine that has been put on like butter only to be flug off onto my bed and lower body on my way home. Nothing like washing your mirrors, only to have water come out of the bottom when your driving and being flung on your doors. Or do I just have that much time on my hands every saturday morning..??? :rof:rof

Post up what cha use to clean your ride..

I do not have pics but I use pretty much the same thing, except I use the turtle wax Ice wax, Meguirs makes a ultimate shine tire shine that sticks well and holds up to water and dirt, and I only use sprayway glass cleaner it works well on Chrome too.

I too am a clean freak like you Brian. I use Meguiars Gold Classic on mine. I also use a lot of 3M products for the tires, chrome, and exterior vinyl.

About to go wash the truck and get it all ready for AZ tomorrow...Takes about 3 hours to get this thing clean lol. Needs a quick coat of wax too.

Here is most of my crap for cleaning lol
the scratch x works for the little scratches sometimes, I bought it to try but not really worth it. The plastic stuff (white bottle) is for my headlights and tail lights, yes I clean them very well too lol

I bought "Jax" wax from a event one year, shit worked very well from a visual stand point. you could leave it on awhile in the sun and it would still come right off. Was nice for waxing truck in this climate in the summer. Prolly gonna get another bottle, made the process a little quicker.

don't think I ever seen that one.

I bought one and it was the best shine I'd ever seen, but after it got wet 4-5 times it went to shit.

I'll have to look in the garage I know I still have it...so you no rain guys...I'm sure it would look awesome.

I have found the actual sheep skin chamois work really well. They are a little more pricey but worth it when you run the thing down the hood and it leaves no streaks. I am very meticulous when I was my truck, It is indeed a 3 hour affair. My bike takes longer and it is smaller....WTF

I got a cabinet full of detailing stuff. I full detailing job takes me over 8 hrs, but with my job it last 1 day.

I like Poorboy waxes and I don't get much stuff over the counter.
