[QUOTE="whiplash473, post: 1294595, member: 17027"] I was gonna say something before but I didn't know what level of detail you were going after. If you've got about 150,000hrs to kill then you can do my spring/fall exterior detail process. It's what's kept my truck looking the way it does being a daily driver since day one through hot summer sun and salt ridden winter roads. 1.Wash thoroughly and get everywhere. Wheel wells and all that, every crack and crevasse (I think that's how it's spelled.) 2. Wax using cleaner wax. I like Meguiars, it's always worked great for me. 3. Seal with Meguiars Synthetic Sealer 2.0. This gives protection and another layer. 4. Wax using Meguiars Caranauba wax for the final step. So with this you've basically got 3 protective layers to be washed off before you get back down to your clearcoat. Like I said, this has kept my truck looking the way it does with original paint through the horrible conditions that IL has in the winter time and the beating sun in the summer. EDIT: THere's no need to do this more than two or three times a year.
