Weather was nice enough in GA today to show the truck some love. So thought I would jump on and show a few things I have in the Arsenal that I use to keep up with the Black.
My main issue I have is Hard Water which leaves the Hard Water Mineral Spots on the black paint and glass so I have to wash a certain way. Sorry no "during" photos...as you'll see its a race against time.
NOTE: Using two inline Water filters, one at House and other at pressure washer
1. Early in the morning before the black heats up if possible (I have no shade to pull to)
2. Have to work one side at a time, no matter the soap.
3. Wash and rinse, then Spray the Formula 4 (1 to 4) mixture on the just rinsed side of truck. Most important part to help with the spots!!!
4. Dry off that side of truck and repeat on other side
So, below are the products I've found that work the best for me (so far, and open for other suggestions). Yours may be different and by no means am I a sponsor for any of these products. I've tested a lot of soaps, etc.. because of the hard water but the Formula4 is a must and is extremely cheap.
This Time around was
WASH: CG BlackLight Soap for Black vehicles, just tried it and pretty happy so far
SPRAYWAX: Formula 4 Spraywax after rinse (Other products change but this one stays a must)
SEALANT: CG Blacklight Sealant (Applied with HF Buffer)
WAX: CG Butter wax (Applied with HF Buffer)
TRIM/WHEEL LINER: CG Dark Shine
WHEEL/TIRE CLEANER: Purple Power Dilluted
WHEELS: Tried the CG MAXcoat because other wheel cleaners left the rims with spots
TIRE GEL: Been using the VRP for a long time because of minimal "slinging"
If I loose the Water Spot battle I keep the Waterspot Killer handy. I had tried everything before on my other truck glass and this stuff took some away that had been there for years.
Hope this helps someone and I'm always open for suggestions.
I can post external links to the products if the Admins is ok with it
