Re: Project: Blank Slate

With a week off from work, I was able to get a ton of things accomplished on the truck. From my previous posts (new exhaust) I was also able to: finish painting the 15x7's and get the tires swapped over to those rims, paint the 15x8 rears, wax the entire truck (inside/out/under the hood), change the oil, remove the seat/carpet,.... and a ton of other small projects accomplished. I don't have a ton of pictures, but I will post what I have.

Here's a shot of the items I used, and they include Meguiar's wax, Mother's carnuba wax, Metal Gloss, NAPA window cleaner, and Ruglyde. The reason for two different waxes was this was the first time I used Mother's wax product, and after dumping the first glop on my microfiber towel, it seems rather thin. So, I got to thinking, "If one coat is good, then two would be better."

So, I proceeded to wax with Mother's followed by Meguiar's which seemed to provide a think layer of wax/film. I also started to tape off the trip and what not, but by the time I got to the driver's side door, that idea was gone, and I just cleaned as I waxed.
