The drop is done, so now time to clean it up...

The truck wasn't too rough, had some light swirls and stuff here and there. Couple of spots where the paint was touched while dusty (during the suspension work I suspect) needed more attention than others.

Process was:
  • Tires and Fenders were cleaned with APC and Adam's Fender Brush
  • Wheels cleaned with Adam's Wheel Brush/Lug Brush and Car Soap diluted in a sprayer
  • Inner wheel hoops were cleaned using the same soap mix and the Power Stick
  • Washed the whole truck with Strip Wash I'm testing
  • Clayed w/ Adam's Clay and Detail Spray
  • Rewashed Using Adam's Car Wash and Foam Gun
  • Dried using Blaster Sidekick, Great White Drying Towels, Waterless Wash for a drying agent
  • Tires, trim, and plastics dressed with Super VRT
  • Fenders dressed with Invisible Undercarriage Spray
  • Panels were treated on a case by case basis for some reason the doors were thrashed, but the rest of the truck was relatively swirl free.
  • Flex w/ 7.5" orange pad and Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover for tougher areas.
  • The whole truck was done with the PC, white pad and Fine Machine Polish
  • Applied a single thin coat of Brilliant Glaze with an Americana Hex Grip App
  • Then 2 coats of Americana

I gotta get that undercarriage spray and that brilliant glaze! I think that's the only thing Gladiator is missing!
