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

    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.


    ...enjoy the journey.

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
