First Detail - Adamized the Raptor

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

Looks good. Funny, I did the exact same thing last weekend on my Tuxedo Black truck.

Adam's 2-bucket Wash and Dry with Detail Spray.
Clay bar.
Wolfgang Swirl Remover Correcting Polish as needed.
Wolfgang Finishing Polish w/ Revive. Acts as a paint cleaner as you mentioned and makes removing the Finishing Polish much easier.
Liquid Paint Sealant.
Son1c Wax Carnaubavore

DWC and APC on wheels and tires, respectively. Wheels have already been treated with QS.

In N Out Spray on Running Boards.

Glass Cleaner on all glass.

Also did the interior with the Leather and Interior Cleaner and then followed it up with Total Interior Detailer.

Bonus: The truck even stayed clean for one entire week! Ha!

@TheWolf - that looks phenomenal! I love the mirrored fall photo. Maybe submit to Wilson's photo contest?

You wash your truck in your garage?

I'm glad you did it take you 10 hours. When I have to clean the Night Raptor, it's typically a days job, and that just the exterior and door jams.

No, I wash it on the driveway and then pull it into the garage for the rest of the detailing. There's too much stuff in the garage that can't get wet and with the pressure washer and foam cannon, I have been known to "accidently" rinse or foam bystanders.

Do they have white teeshirts on

Ummm...you know the rules...pictures!

I never thought of using In & Out Spray on the running boards, I will have to try that next time. I have always used SuperVRT but have to be careful not to slip and fall if it is wet outside. Is the In & Out slippery when wet?

Also, Deep Wheel Cleaner, All Purpose Cleaner and even Green Wheel Cleaner will strip the Quick Sealant off the wheels, so you will need to add a fresh coat of sealant after cleaning with these.

Yes, every time!

In and out spray is SVRT but in a arisal

But it smells like hairspray! I only like to use the products that smell the best. Leather Conditioner, Revive, Tire Shine, Detail Spray...OK almost all smell good, except In & Out.

All I know is my truck needs a cleaning bad.

I pressure washed my floor mats and used In & Out spray. They looked brand new and not slippery. But it took a whole can, front and back.

That's a good idea, I will have to try that.

I did it several months ago too, and they still look good.
