    Man, I am really loving this truck. I cleaned it up today and snapped some pictures with only my cell phone. The bottom right corner of a lot of them is blurry cause the lens is cracked, but I really scored on the last one.


    Process:
    Truck is wearing Autoglym HD wax from a month ago.
    Washed using a Proline Grout Sponge and Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss (MUST HAVE)
    Wheels/Tires cleaned with Zep Citrus 3:1
    Tires dressed with Hyperdressing neat


    Enjoy!

    And last but not least, I'm really satisfied and proud of how this one came out for just a cell phone picture. Check out that red/orange sunset reflecting in the metallic flake!

    It'll be even better when I get 33's and a 2 inch lift.

    It depends what you mean by "last". It has the ability to restore some really gray plastics, and generally when you use BW those plastics will maintain a black color for quite some time (probably a year plus depending on the conditions). Now if you're asking how long will it looked freshly dressed (or dressed in general), probably about a month. It is a tad greasy and getting it on paint is a major PITA. They give you an index card to act as a barrier between the plastic and paint, definitely use it. Stick with the foam applicators too, as everything else seems to absorb the product too much. Definitely prep the area with an Isopropyl alcohol mix to make sure you have the best base to work with.

    Yeah, I find it can stretch further if on those larger pieces.

    Next time, try Optiseal. I didn't know it could be used on trim until this past Saturday. So I just applied it to the trim on my LS. Super easy to apply (obviously), and I'm thinking durability should be nice too.

    You're always using trim stuff for some wacky idea. How'd that Ultima Trim Guard work on wheels? BTW, text me tomorrow to remind me about your package.

    You know, it didn't prevent brake dust as much as I'd hoped. But cleaning them was SUPER easy compared to the wheel without it. The sheeting action was amazing. All I used was an oz of CWG mixed in my wheel bucket.
