Excellent write-up!

Looks to me like the Expidition turned out pretty good overall. Your time isn't too bad considering taping it off, stopping to take pics and all the steps you took.

Awesome Job, and great writeup!! With the Zaino, apply it super thin, almost to the point where you can't see it. Again sweet job!

Gotta love the weather this weekend. Couldn't have been any better for being out detailing. The truck came out nice.

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, wasn't sure if I should start a new one on this or not..

My mom was/is very happy with it. but one comment she made was about the not so white wheel letters..

What have you guys used to make the wheel letters white again? In the past she has used softscrub on them without any problems, and I'm guessing the bleach made them white. But I would have a really hard time putting bleach on my car without multiple people saying it is okay.

thanks!

If you want OTC, maybe Bleche White. However, if you are willing to shop online, go to TOL and order the Hi-Temp tire cleaner. Dilutes 1:1, is dirt cheap, works well, and doesn't have any cheap bleach.
