Glad to see another detailer on the forum. We're a rare breed lol. Great looking truck and excellent work.
Haven't used any Chemical Guys products. I'm an Adam's Polishes man myself.

I totally forgot that I was a member on this forum.....I AM BACK!
Next week I am ordering my lowering kit. It's nothing crazy, just a Belltech 3/4. I will be doing a post in about 2 weeks on cleaning, sanding and undercoating the frame and wheel wells on the truck. I will be on vacation the week after the fourth of July so I will be doing a FULL paint correction to the truck that may include some wet sanding just for the hell of it. She will be getting another clay bar and A LOT of compound. Nothing has really changed on the truck since my last post. Painted the ralliy wheels black and put new tires on. With the lowering kit, I plan on adding some new suspension parts to make it drive like new so if you have any suggestions on what parts I should get, feel free to leave them in the comments below. Also, I haven't cleaned under the hood of this truck yet and its getting pretty bad. I don't want anything excessively shinny so if any of the other detailers on here have any suggestions, leave a comment! I am always up for trying something new. I have attached a more recent picture of the truck. Over the winter, I removed the trim on the drivers side and messed it up =( to the poimy that paint came off. Well, as good as it looks without the trim, I am going to purchase new trim and stick it back on to cover it up

Good looking truck! My burb is the same color and ive been detailing since i was about 13. But over the last year i have stopped detailing as much. I dont even wash my burb by hand take it to the car wash lol. Detailers biggest pet peeve haha. But the burb will get body work and paint over the next few months so im going to buy a pressure washer and all new detailing stuff. Been a griots/meguires guy all my life but going to try some kleen freaks products too. They seem to be pretty good and lots of my euro friends use them. Cant wait to see the truck lowered!
