  1. Not significantly more real estate than my 1500 Sierra Denali just much more tedious to get the roof hood and windows. But I am loving the granite vs. the jet black of my Denali. This also has less plastic to dress.
  2. No need to restock.. I stocked up last spring and with the addition of a new little guy and my wife changing hours at work my detailing availability was cut down dramatically. I need to go through my current stock or start gifting to friends. I have 3 bottles of buttery that I don't see myself using. Between paint sealant and americana I don't have a need for buttery.
  3. It's a big f'ing truck! Sprayed off at coin op. Used their soap since I was strip washing anyway. drove home cleaned the wheels tires with a separate wheel bucket. Used foam gun with APC mixed and soaked the truck then strip washed the entire truck. Dried with master blaster, quick detailed the entire truck dressed the wheels and tires, Brilliant Glaze, then paint sealant, then clayed the windows and used window sealant.. I would have clayed the entire truck but felt very smooth and was limited in time.. I'll do it during the spring detail. Gonna drive the wife's car tomorrow so I can apply sealant to the door jams
  4. Washed my Denali truck tonight. Wife is out of town and had my 3 yr old "helping" and my 3 month old in the bouncy seat. Not the best detail I've done but was tired of sitting in the house.
  5. So I bought a new camper last fall and I sealed the rear of it one afternoon then got too busy to do the rest. I was surprised tonight when I washed it how well the water beaded still 6 months later. My question question about LPS is is there any benefit to applying to to the hard plastic trip that is shiny or will it not adhere to it? I applied it to about 1/4 of one side tonight before it got dark and was pretty pleased with the results. Also what product would you recommend for the tongue that is painted/powdercoated but it is pretty dull chalky. Thanks
  6. Yesterday I got up and washed my truck because I am leaving for vacation and it will get to sit in the garage for a week and I will return to a nice clean car. I also wanted to test out my new foam gun and Master Blaster Revolution. I hadn't been a fan of washing at home because I like using a pressure washer and hate dragging it out from the shed and setting it up. So I have been going to the coin op (mine takes debit cards) and using their water and taking my buckets and hand washing in the bay. I was tired of feeling guilty for doing this while people waited. I always left the time run so I wasn't ripping off the owner of the car wash but I still felt bad and usually tried to rush through my wash. But my first wash at home went very well. I was able to spend extra time doing the wheels and wheel wells first. I then used foam gun which worked great and washed the truck. Used the MB after rinsing and I can't believe I have been detailing for so long with out one. I know have 6 GW drying towels that are going to be collecting dust as well as my Sidekick. After the wash I used tire shine on the tires and VRT on the plastic trim. Then I followed that up with a coat of Brilliant Glaze. I used my new Cycle 2 weeks ago but didn't have time after putting sealant to use brilliant glaze. Then I decided it was time to pull my wheels off and clean the barrels and seal them. I have had a can of quick sealant for a while that I haven't used so I used that on both sides of the wheels and put them back on. Woke up this morning and hit the truck with detail spray to get ready for a coat of americana. I have had this for about 3 months and wanted to try it. This stuff was super easy to use. I haven't had time to get the truck out in the sun as my 3 yr old wanted me to come in and play with him so no pics.
  7. Thanks for the info. I have 2 black vehicles. I had some decent swirls on my black denali and have always used adams 2 bucket I think I will order one and see if that helps.
  8. Just watched the new video of Adam washing a black car and was using the Merino wash mitt and didn't know how may people actually use it. Never seen it discussed on here. Thanks
  9. Thanks for the pics and I am sure that it will roll up better when warm and after it gets broken in a little bit. Just sucks I won't get to use it for a few weeks. Going on vacation this weekend and its going to rain tonight..
  10. Just recieved my revolution.. How are you guys storing the hose?? Mine doesn't want to curl up very well?
  11. Financial Advisor/ Wealth management Previously I owned one of the largest vending companies in Indiana but we sold out to a national competitor several years ago.
  12. Just ordered my revolution tonight. I used a sidekick for the first time tonight and loved it. So I had to order the larger one. I have more tools to clean my truck and I have to clean my house. Love the addiction.
  13. Cart looks good! what are your plans for finishing the wood?
  14. Well now I'm bummed!! I inquired about these today but wanted to get in on the mystery boxes. Would have put me to the free shipping too! Oh well
  15. What are your thoughts on use Liquid Paint Sealant instead of Quick sealant on the wheels. I know it will take a lot of time to apply and remove the film. I would assume that LPS will last longer than Quick sealant.
