Sac Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Nice job. Color looks great. It's always a good idea to have extra pads. I'm placing an order of 2ea orange MF, 2ea orange foam, 1 more white foam & another black foam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did my normal first day back home wash. Question of the day though… What makes my truck a dust magnate now? It has paint sealant and then I do the normal mist with detail spray when I dry it. Drove around today and it is already covered with dust that seems to stick on there.

Sac Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 No work on the truck.. But I did put the foam gun to work today! Still needs a complete cleaning & thinking about putting some LPS on the body panels & motor before the first trip out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just made another order.. Can't wait to try the new wash wedge! Forgot to order the new HGG though, o'well.. There is always another order! haha Anyway; my tailgate area hasn't been beading much so I ran over it with clay bar, white pad, white polish, LPS & a coat of buttery wax. Then I've been neglecting my door jams.. So broke out the 2 step polish and protected with LPS with a foam block, worked great! Ohhh… And can't forget ending the weekend with crawfish!!

cev103 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Your truck came out good. I've noticed that the clearcoat on my 2015 Sierra seems a lot softer than my 2008 Sierra. Even the paint on my wife's 2013 Tahoe seems more durable than my Sierra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My moms 2013 Jeep Cherokee has clear coat tough as nails and it was aggravating to polish out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I recently did a pretty dramatic turn around on my dads 12 year old work truck. I didn't take any before pictures, was kinda spare of the moment deal. I'll just say it is hammered, clear coat peeling on the roof & hood. Clear coat that is left was very oxidized & severely swirled. 2 Bucket Wash Clay Bar Alternative while Washing Blown Dry(Masterblaster Sidekick) LOVE that thing by the way! Super VRT on all Trim(Can see how dry it is in the picture, that's 2 coats of VRT on the door trim) 1 step Polish with Orange Pad/Orange Polish Coat of LPS Coat of BG Also prepped my friends truck for his video shoot. It already has a coat of LPS so it didn't take much. Killer Waxx is a sponsor when it was at SEMA, but we'll keep it too ourselves that I use Adam's on it! In all fairness, he does use his Killer Waxx products if I don't help & bring my Adam's arsenal. 2 Bucket Wash Blown Dry(Masterblaster Sidekick) Coat of BG on Paint & Chrome Bumpers Lots of time with Metal Polish #1 & #2 on Wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sac Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Picked up some wheels for truck, 24" Dub Skillz with a 295/35R24. These wheels are going to be bear to keep clean. The textured matte finish seems to trap dirt inside. I'm going to get them clean as possible and throw some QS on them. Truck has fresh wash & coat of BG on it. BG makes the blue POP!! Next up is a lowering kit for the truck, going to keep it mild with a 3/5. ArmyAcadia09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneck08sierra Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 i don't think you will have a problem keeping them clean b/c there dark and GM brakes don't brake dust much. they look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! i don't think you will have a problem keeping them clean b/c there dark and GM brakes don't brake dust much. they look good! True, I barley get brake dust. But the PO didn't clean them too good and the texture matte finish has some stains in the barrel. Man, your truck looks AWESOME Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savi01 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks good! Are you going to black out the chrome window trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks good! Are you going to black out the chrome window trim? Thanks! I plan on it. These trucks are a pain to take stuff off, I'm sure they will be no different. Also plan on color matching the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savi01 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks! I plan on it. These trucks are a pain to take stuff off, I'm sure they will be no different. Also plan on color matching the front. Vinyl wrap over the trim would probably be the best. Plastidip could also be a good temporary solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
