Thanks from Mike in Tennessee

Gotta luv that blue oval
I bought a new truck (2004 Ford F-150 Lariat Supercab dark toreador red clearcoat)
After it started getting dirty, I went to do what I've always done. Something like Lemon Joy with a sponge and a old bath towel (you know, the ones so worn out you can see through them) and some Wax-As-U-Dry. Then I said....There must be a better way. I found this web site and started lurking in the forums about 3 hours every night for about 2 weeks. Then I started ordering supplies and getting some things from Wal-Mart. (they have a great caddy for organizing my bottles and other stuff)
About $120.00 later I decided to make my move.

1.Nxt wash with a cotton chenelle mitt. (2 bucket method of course)
2.Dried with an Absorber and some microfiber towels.
3.Clayed with Clay Magic. (Emptied lubricant bottle so I filled it back up with a heavy NXT Wash and water solution)
4.Another NXT wash and dry.
5.AIOx1
6.UPPx1
7.SIG all the way around.
8.Meguiars Hot Tire Shine
9.I even put the AIO and UPP on my rims.(These trucks are notorious for brake dust)

Tomorrow, I will do my 2nd UPP and then try to decide which pure Carnauba wax to order for my LSP.I know I have a long ways to go but, I'll get there.

I thank you guys and so does my truck. I feel an addiction coming on.
 
Hi Mike and Welcome!!!

I live in Oakland so we are neighbors of sorts. :brick

You have no idea what is about to happen with your new addiction!!!! Might as well start clearing the shelves in your garage now to make room for all of the new products.

sounds like a beautiful vehicle. you have done a lot of work and you must be proud.! if you want the best buy the best. P21S/S100 is about as good as it gets for a LSP. it is the only one that i have personal experience with. have fun and indulge the passion that is lurking within!

Welcome to DC.
I love UPP ... It is a great last step product.
After you apply that second coat, you might want to just leave it that way.
AIO and UPP sure makes the wheels easy to clean with just car wash soap and water.
