    Used all Adam's Products:

    Well I ended up doing a full exterior detail on my truck today. Man my back and arms are killing me

    Products Used:
    Car Shampoo
    Professional Pad
    Jumbo Wash Pad
    Waterless Wash
    All Purpose-Cleaner
    Fender Brush
    2 Bucket Wash Method
    Detail Spray
    Detail Clay
    Severe Swirl Remover & Green Pad
    Swirl & Haze Remover & Orange Pad
    Fine Machine Polish & White Pad
    Machine Superwax & Grey Pad
    SVRT
    Foam Blocks
    Pro Tire Applicator
    TONS of MF Towels

    I started with a rinse of the exterior especially the window trim and seams to get all the gunk out of there. Then I went to work on the wheels and tires.

    Started by spraying the All Purpose Cleaner on the fenders and tires (Only in SC would it be 55* this morning then 90* later excuse the sweatshirt and board shorts )

    Then washed the exterior utilizing the 2 Bucket Method

    Rinse:

    Took the truck into the Garage after drying off the vehicle with the GWDT and WW as a drying agent. I inspected the paint and decided I needed on the Hood 2 passes of SSR, 1 pass of SHR, and 2 passes of FMP. The hood was by far the worst!

    Here are the results! Swirl Free!

    Then attacked the trim. I have been meaning to do this for some time! The trim around the windows and the fender flares were super faded!

    After a few minutes of using APC and a toothbrush this is what the trim looked like.

    After one layer of SVRT the trim just soaked it in. I had to do it about 3 times

    Here is the results after cleaning the fender flares with APC then applying some SVRT look at the difference!

    Then I tried what Dylan over at Adam's told me to try on Matte finish wheels. I applied some SVRT on the face of the wheels as well as the tires! Best pic I could get. I need to work on my Photography skills!

    Then went after the mirrors and grille

    After shots, I was too tired to drive it and go somewhere for better shots
