    I've been crazy short on time lately so I kind of broke the cleanup of the truck up over a few days.

    Saturday Night:
    • Vacuum'd the interior our using the Vac N' Blo 500
    • Pulled the matts, cleaned carpets using Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner and Carpet Brush
    • Cleaned the seats using light Misting of Carepet & Upholstery Cleaner and Edgeless Utility Towel
    • Cleaned the rest of the Interior w/ Leather & Interior Cleaner then dressed with Leather & Interior Conditioner on the Red Foam App
    • Glass All Cleaned with Glass Cleaner and the NEW Green Glass Towel

    Sunday Morning:
    • Wheels Cleaned w/ APC and Green Wheel Cleaner
    • Boars Hair Brush, Power-stick, and Fender Brush
    • Quick Wash w/ Adam's Car Wash, 2 Buckets Grit Guards, & Foam Gun
    • Dried with Great White Drying Towel and Waterless Wash as Drying Agent
    • Went back and blew out trim and crevices with Blaster Sidekick
    • Clayed and Sealed Glass
    • Tires and trim Dress w/ Super VRT and various apps.

    Monday Afternoon:
    • Full Waterless Wash wipe down w/ 8 Waterless Towels
    • Brilliant Glaze applied with the PC and gray pad
    • Removed with Single Soft Towels
    • Hand Applied a coat of Americana
    • Removed with Double Soft Towel

    Paints far from flawless as I still need to do a full correction on it for the season, but I'm hesitant to do so before I get the paint fixed on the drivers door. Anyways... had a couple of minutes to kill while waiting for Tanner to get out of preschool, so snapped some shots. Enjoy the pictures!

    Looks great! Aren't you going to throw a sealant/wax over to help the longevity?

    What size are the wheels? Is the truck raked a little to the front?

    Lovin the black on black though.

    Wheels are 22", it is slightly raked. Wanted it level, but the drop on this truck just won't go that low in the back without more mods.

    The drop as it sits now has very little clearance over the rear axle... next on the 'to do list' is to probably notch the rear to bring it down about 2" and bring the front down about another .75 - 1"

    Thanks, but are you implying I'm not cute too? LOL j/k

    Ash is easy on the eyes... shes like my little sister... love that girl to death.

    Thanks... its not perfect, its about a '5 footer' right now... I have some isolated marring and some other issues here and there. Its been awhile since the truck got corrected and it gets used believe it or not like a truck.
