Besides the fiance running it through the "Mikes Express" we have here, I have washed it for her once.. Did a complete wash at Mikes (used the touch-less and did it myself), came home (I know not best practice to drive after washing then wax), But used my California car duster to get any dust that may have fallen on it while driving..

Then used Meguires NXT 2.0 Wax, Armor All Extreme on the Tires, Stoners Invisible Glass on the windows... Looked DARN Good.. for a couple days till it rained and needed washed all over again!

Wish I had some pictures of how good it looked after the wax!

Got to love how that works out. You do a great job on washing it, then it rains the next day. Happens alot with me. How did that wax hold up in the rain?

Fortunately I can leave the vehicles in the garage and drive the dump truck if I have to after cleaning them....

Wax held up great... Rain was just running off the car.. I've used that on my truck and her Terrain both with great results!

Yep, you will have great results...


I recommend that you pick up this as well to removed all the contaminates before you wax.. Something I should have done on mine first..


Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit

You should be able to pick up all these products at your local Pepboys/autozone.. blah heck maybe even walmart

I actually have some that I bought a long time ago and I never used it!

I think that I was going to use it on the black truck and then I bought the white truck and to this day never used it on the black truck.

Black trucks are so hard to keep clean and smooth.. That's part of why I don't have one at this time... Not till I own a house or live in one... I want to be able to keep the paint in mint cond
