Decided to give the truck a wash today :thumbs up:
Unreal, it's so hot as soon as you wash an area it dries up leaving worse streaks than when you started, Ian, get over here quickly :yes nod:

Getting to the roof is a wee bit dodgy :Whistle:

Looks like quite a job washing that size of vehicle - at least you get a tan in the process though!

Meant to say, most of the local stores carry the Meguiars range of products, i bought the gold class shampoo for 9 US Dollars, that seems to be pretty cheap compared to the UK?
The truck is covered with swirl marks and is a result of the heat and folks not doing the job correctly.

It's unreal how quick the water evaporates, so, from now on it's gonna be one panel at a time, wash and clean, buff off the streaks and then some scratch X and then wax, when i can be bothered :Whistle:

Sorry, did i read that right? You actually bought car washing products, and used them, and were worried about the finish? Man, what on earth do they put in the water in the States!!! :-)

Either way, looks a big job to wash that monster, rather you than me!
