Default My best/easiest wax job yet

I like a good looking truck, but don't like working at it...well, a bit, but not a lot.

The wax job I just gave the family fleet is the best & easiest I've done yet.

1) Wash & dry
2) Clay bar
3) "Black Again" on vinyl and flat black
3) Dark color???---polish, Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze or similar
4) Wax---Meguiar's NXT liquid Tech Wax
5) 303 Protectant on the inside vinyl and Roll-n-Lock vinyl cover.
6) Genuine mud on the tires.

I clay barred the plastic headlight lenses using 303 protectant as the lube...they look great. I tried the #7 glaze on a small part of my Thunder Gray Tundra, but couldn't see any difference. The NXT Tech Wax contains some polish, anyway. My metallic dark red Volvo looks really good with the #7 under the NXT.

And, as little work for the shine as I've ever done. My last NXT waxing lasted almost a year.

I do have to say that I still use the old fashioned paste wax...though thinking of the new NXT stuff.

Ken,

Who makes the "genuine mud" for the tires?

Ken,
I'm with you on the work part, but it is also relaxing to detail my truck,and wifes car. I just don't want to do it every couple of weeks. Last year I did the #7 and #26 on my thunder gray and guys @ work were asking me if it was a custom paint job(makes U feel good). This year I used clay,#80, #21 sealtant(new) and then I topped it with #26 in about two days (optional) I did this in early April and still shine like new, I only wash and detail spray (last touch) when I have a chance to wash spring rain can't do every week. try it.
Kevin
