Did my first hand wax with meguiars, took a couple hours did it in one of our bays at work for shade, hope it won’t rain do a few days at leastI have to admit that I have never read so many threads that have talked about guys cleaning and detailing their trucks in the last few weeks. I'm guessing that now that a large number of us are "sheltering in place" and have some spare time on our hands, that our trucks are getting a little TLC. I'm proud to say in the last few days I've detailed the boss's car and detailed the truck also. How about y'all---Has your truck been getting some extra attention during the last few weeks?????

Looks like a mirror, is the clay bar hard to do been wanting to try but was concerned I could mess up my paint or it was to late, 2nd owner trucks at 60k. Yours is beautiful incredible shine!I forgot this thread...
Finally got time to clean clay wax n polish the truck last week. Drove thru a brushless wash yesterday to remove the dust and its still looking good!

What Jay said +10. I always use the synthetic (now), but the same process as actual clay bar on my vehicles while they're still wet after washing it and just keep the water running as I clay bar.Make sure you use plenty of clay bar lube or you will mar/scratch the paint.

I washed & waxed for the second time today after work took my time 5 hours but still ended up with wax on my doors handles & plastic/rubber trim taping it off seems extreme, do you have any suggestions?I have to admit that I have never read so many threads that have talked about guys cleaning and detailing their trucks in the last few weeks.

Will regular painters tape work or do you use something different any thoughts on getting wax off the plastics thank you for your replyI know that taping it off is a pain in the ass but it is effective. That's what I do plus I use products that do not "stain" the plastic and rubber.
Jay
I will try that next time I wax thank youPainters tape works fine. Let me look around a little for a good product, people have tried lots of stuff and I don't remember right now what the most successful has been. You also might look in the detail section some more I know that a lot of people have talked about it.
