    Good job, the products you are using are really good as well, but don't use JOY to wash your truck, that mess just eats away all the waxes and stuff. Use some car washing soap . The only other thing i would have used on there would be a heavy duty swirl removal, it would fill in those small spider swirls you see. Then use a nice gold class wax, i dont like the nxt wax to greasy for me. but good job for a first time.

    Man, I really need to clay bar and wax my truck. Lots of junk on the paint from winter driving.

    Dayum, sweet SS.

    Thanks. As for the Joy, that was by design. First wash of the year I want to strip off all the old wax and crap that I can. Now that it's clean and waxed I'll use Meguiar's car wash. There really aren't many spider swirls left, the #83 took care of them, what's left are more significant scratches. I used the Gold Class last year and liked the results. I decided to try the NXT this year because I liked the GC so much, I figured if the NXT was suppose to be better I'd like it even more.
