It may not be Svended, but it is pretty clean.

I detailed the F150 for the first time today. It was also a day of trying out a two bucket wash method and a new wax. As a result, I’m now a two bucket wash convert.

I upped the car wash soap concentration to help strip whatever they prepped it with at the dealership and used some makeshift grit guards in my new two bucket set up. Following the wash and dry, I spent some quality time with the clay bar. I’d never clayed a brand new car before, and I was astonished at how much crap I got out of the finish. At that point it looked great, had no evidence of any swirls and felt perfectly smooth, so I saw no need for a polish and went straight to a coat of wax.

I’m a happy camper with the result, and now it feels like we both fully know each other.

That looks great! I just hosed off the truck yesterday. I detailed it a couple of weeks ago, but give merciless dive bombed by some birds, prompting a wash. Damn birds.

When you look into the rinse bucket and see how much crap is in the bottom you can’t help be converted.

The truck looks good, your right to be proud of your work.

I’m curious as to why this has 5200 views. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good post, but it just seems weird when most similar posts get like 200 views.

Great looking truck!

For some reason Kinja pinned it to the side bar Saturday night. It had a more normal number of views before that happened.

You’re pretty lucky with your license plates. Black on white for a truck that is white with black accents. Looks pretty slick.

Very spiffy, working on my car right now. Almost done, I used Svended’s diagram for starting with the roof and working your way down and it’s working out quite well.
