so I did a thing today- pics included

Mine is absolutely abysmal right now with all the salt on the roads, and the tires kicking up road grime. I took it thru a wash the other day, and 4 hrs later you couldn't tell I had washed it.

Same here but I did the washing. Used hot water thru a big brush and bucket of soapy water. It comes out the bristles. A week later looks like crap. I put on about 500 miles commuting to work .

Not 1st, 2nd or 3rd? No Trophy!

I'll wash it again in May

IMHO Bilsteins are worth a little bit of grease--

agreed. Now I need a warm(er) day so I can give it a good detail again, including some wax.

Looks AWESOME...I'm exhausted just from reading the post

Thanks. And it's been cold and nasty and the truck needs a waxing bad.

Looks great! Curious about your window tint... I like it and would like to know if it factory or add-on? If add-on, what percentage is the front and rear doors?
I have factory on the rear doors and would like to go a little darker, so I'm trying to figure out what percentage I should go with on the front and back to make it look even between the two.

Thanks

 

[shadowhawk]

the front was tinted to match the factory, which I believe is a 20% tint.

I have a 20% difference between the front and back and never do I think it looks 'off'. I like the fact that having such dark tint in the back means people behind me cant see what I am doing (whatever that may be) and that I dont have to worry about UV rays hitting my daughter as much. Just food for thought.

Thanks ShadowHawk and BTD07 for the reply! Good to know.

For sure. I need a weekend with nothing to do for a fresh detail

Most satisfying part is to sit back, look at the results, drink a cold beer and think to yourself---I did that!!!!! and then wait for the rain to come. LOL

I loved having my black Porsche clean and shiny. It was THE best looking car I've ever owned.
