So, decided it was the day to start a mini detail on my 2007 Chevy Avalanche :thumbs up:

Maybe a bit too warm, in the shade it's:-

Usual Snow Foam

Power Wash off and a rinse:-

Washed with Meguiars Classic Gold, It's so hot that the soap dries almost immediately

So, gotta rinse off after washing each panel:-

Moved the truck into the garage to get away from the sun, put the wax on the roof outside and by the time i got to buffing it off the wax had dried so hard it took me an hour alone to do the roof:-

All in 3 hours, should know better to do it at this time of year, all other panels can wait until tomorrow

I'd be doing it early doors.
That's a bit too warm for me to be out car cleaning.

Even though the pictures don't show it, the paintwork is in a terrible state
