Looks good, but a lot of work for it to rain again in a couple of days. You're in Texas, you know it will! I have pets too, and kids, and live in N Texas. Love for my JT to be clean, but that's too much for me when it will be dirty again soon!

I am all about supporting your hobby. I have a Glady and a JKU that both need hours of fun. FYI

Holy heck that looks amazing! Mine is black and I haven’t been able to wash it for more than a month because of the weather. After seeing the reflection in your first pic I feel compelled to skip work tomorrow and detail the crap out of it. To @shokker70 ’s point, it’s supposed to rain here Thursday so probably some wasted effort right there but it will sure look damn nice for maybe a day.

Looks great ! I'm sure you put in 10 hours. Question, do you clay bar before waxing. Waxing is on my list of to do's.

Looking great, I love how sarge green's yellow tones come out when polished. I've found no need to tape when using Menzerna's line of polish (no fillers or silicone, near zero dust or white residue) which saves a ton of time. Also, if you clay before polishing your pads will last twice as long and any ceramic, sealant or wax will adhere better while providing more visual depth. It's astonishing the amount of contaminants clay pulls out beyond a great cleaning and thorough IronX treatment.

I perform a similar process bi-yearly and it promptly gets dirty again. The difference, and the reason I put in the full day's work every other year is that I can foam cannon & pressure wash it back to showroom condition in under 10 minutes. Weeks baked-on KY clay can't stick to modern ceramic when hit with pressure.

Really nice work!

Next time you spend 10hrs put a little lift on that beauty!!

I'm in Canada and just did my 1st hand wash of the season yesterday, my hard water left spots etc all over..... The sun was setting, time was limited.

Looks great down in Texas!!

It’s my therapy so I get a lot out of it.

It depends on how contaminated the paint is. The way to tell us rub your hand across the paint when it is dry. If you can hear your hand making a rubbing noise across the paint, it probably needs to be clay bared. You need to spray it down with iron decon first though. In the case of her truck, I only sprayed it with iron decon then all in one polis/wax.
